Daisy - has been good this year, but stunk it up last night. Agreed
Dow - this kid is all class. Will be very good
SPS - does some nice things, then disappears. Still too lazy - doesn't even run hard when he has the ball - won't chase hard - often allows his opponent to run freely downfield to make further contributions if he doesn't manage to tackle him when close enough to reach - needs an attitude transplant
Plowman - has had an ordinary season. He's better than what he's showing this year. Last night's game and the previous week show signs of life. Agreed
Simpson - if ever there was a textbook example of how a player can besmirch their own fine reputation by playing past their use by date, this is it. He stunk it up bad last night. Certainly made more than his share of mistakes last night. His claims to fame have always been courage, guts and determination (still are), and when he was younger also a bit of pace. He had obviously lost a couple of yards last year. He's never been skilful (disagree), and now that he's older and slower, it's really starting to show. Still playing well enough to play on if he wants.
Wright - the TV is useful for showing work close to the ball, and in this respect we see just how smart Wright is. Smart tap ons, keeps his feet, good decisions etc. It's a shame about that miss on goal, but he's a very good footballer, and I love him.
I thought Sinclair had the better of Krooz. Not so much in the ruck but certainly in general play.
Jack was not bad. Very good in the 1st half.
O'Shea, another in the burgeoning category of honest triers, ordinary players.
I thought Rowe was more than decent against Buddy.
Lang looks to have what he needs for the future.
Kerridge was one of our better players - despite the horrendous clangers.
