Any win at this point in time is a good win, especially interstate. Make no mistakes though Gold Coast are putrid, they have to be to be that much worse than the team we had out there.
It was very interesting to see after we got ahead, the confidence levels went up across the side and the more daring kicks and play on's happened.
Jack - Poor kid is being moved around the ground and not being allowed to settle, I know it's out of necessity but once he is allowed to get serious midfield minutes we may have a Hird like player on our hands.
Dow - When he has his own size players around then Paddys class really stands out, he being trying to do this stuff all season to mixed results, but he's a star in the making.
Murph - Really put in, may be finding some fitness and game touch, lead well
O'Brien - Does the right things more often than not, he's no Elite star but a very good player in the making, runs all game, very tidy delivery and surprisingly will go inside and cop a whach when required.
SPS - Put Samo around guys his own size and age and you can see what you get, unfortunately not may midfields are that small. Great game but in the gym young man, 5KG and some 10 sprint work.
Simmo - nuf said
Kennedy - Starting to get of glimspe of what Mat can do, I hope for an full pre season and look out.
Cripps - (enter superlative here)
Harry - It's his strength and confidence in the contest that's holding him back. Not even 21 yet so has plenty of growth, and I have a feeling that we will hit our straps when Harry does
Lamb - A game, did what he had to and I don't remember any thing bad, apart from the goal, I don't remember that much god either.
Lang - Has goal sense and links up, but he is slower than I remember at Geelong, maybe that's the injury but again we need a healthy pre season from Darcy for next year.
Rowe - Very limited, was a decent match up on 2MP. I don't know why we didn't start with that.
Marchbank - Got better as the game went on, still a way off his last seasons performance. Needs to hit the gym this off season.
Weitering - Best game since 2017. Do Weiters and Marchbank play better with Jones' one man zone?
Lobbe - Was soundly beaten in the ruck, stats will say he wasn't taht far off in hit outs but a lot were to nothing. Nice follow up work but offered little around the ground.
Poulson - Another almost game, almost picked up the ball almost held the tackle etc. Has pure speed and desire two qualities that will keep him on the list or now but much improvement needed.
Charlie - Wish the umpires would pay the holding frees
Pickett - Hope we can get an Andrew Walker type back for next season, shows flashes but I want a Hawthorn 2017 performance every game.
Curnow - Decent game, you always know what you get effort wise, it's just the quality of skill that differs.
Byrne - Wasn't it great to have a line running half back? I've forgotten what that looks like. Can't wait for Docherty and Williamson to join in. Very good return and showed real strength.
Daisy - They say the end comes quickly, and it has here. Don't know if they can keep a spot for him on the list.
Wright - See Daisy.
