Team: [color=limegreen]C+[/c]
We played about as well as you can while not winning. We were the better team for much of the night; we just couldn’t keep it up. We didn’t give in.
There was a lot to like. But I am still massively down. I hate losing to those Zeros.

[2.5] Patrick Cripps
[2.5] Kade Simpson
[2.5] Charlie Curnow
[1.5] Matthew Wright
[1] Zac Fisher
[1] Marc Murphy
[1] Caleb Marchbank
[1] Ed Curnow
[0.5] Dale Thomas
[0.5] Sam Petrevski-Seton
[0.5] Matthew Kreuzer
[0.5] Jarrod Garlett
Explanations:
[2.5] Patrick Cripps: Cripps was BOG. He had almost 40 possessions and that included 25 or more contested possessions. He took some nice marks. The only thing he did wrong were a couple of very ordinary kicks. Alas, they turned the ball over.
[2.5] Kade Simpson: Simmo was fantastic. He managed to get so much ball and beat his opponents comfortably. Alas, Simmo too had a number of very bad turnovers that cost us.
[2.5] Charlie Curnow: 5 goals from Charlie Curnow, including 10 marks, shows that this lad has what it takes.
[1.5] Matthew Wright: 5 goals is also Matthew Wright’s career best effort. He was reasonably quiet but for his goals. But he was a real danger all night.
[1] Zac Fisher: 21 classy and deadly possessions. Every time he got it, something happened.
[1] Marc Murphy: Murphy didn’t have a huge night, but his running game was excellent. He was definitely the better of the 2 captains.
[1] Caleb Marchbank: A couple of huge quarters and a lot of marks and spoils. Very solid.
[1] Ed Curnow: Like a few of our better players, Ed was let down by his disposal at times. However, he got the ball and pressured his opponents into oblivion.
[0.5] Dale Thomas: Daisy has his issues and his distractors, but few people could complain about his effort this week. His disposal was much better than it has been of late.
[0.5] Sam Petrevski-Seton: Another glimpse of the future. Sammo was dynamic. He just needs to produce more of it.
[0.5] Matthew Kreuzer: When Kreuzer got hurt we started losing the centre clearances. I hate that. In the first half he completely dominated Nankervis.
[0.5] Jarrod Garlett: Ran out of gas a bit, but remained a dynamic and dangerous player. He did some very nice things.
Honourable Mentions:
Paddy Dow: A promising beginning from the lad. He didn’t look out of place and stuffed up 1 kick badly. He will be better for the outing.
Levi Casboult: Levi’s 1st half was terrible. He couldn’t get near it and couldn’t hold any marks. After half time he lifted hugely. In fact, all of his possessions came after half time. His ruckwork was good at times, but fell away a little in the last quarter.
Bam Bam Kennedy: Very dangerous until he got injured.
Liam Jones: This was not one of Liam Jones’ best nights. He was kept out of marking contests too much, and tunnelled repeatedly without getting any frees. But he still produced some moments of true magic.
