Team: C
I can’t be too critical, we led for most of the night and should have won. That the game was a disappointing spectacle, that I can’t do much about. As for our kicking, well, the less said the better.

Explanations:
I had real difficulty voting this week. There were a lot of contests, but nothing much happened and very few players stood out. A lot of players did jobs but may otherwise have been invisible.
[3.5] Jacob Weitering: Weitering played a great game. He kept Jeremy Cameron almost touchless, while marking and spoiling brilliantly. Kudos for the effort on someone who is so highly touted.
[2.5] Sam Walsh: Walsh didn’t have a brilliant game. It appeared that he set upon every time he got the ball. But he did make things happen that others couldn’t.
[1.5] Ed Curnow A really gutsy role. Notice the numbers of the Giants’ mids. Way down.
[1.5] Marc Murphy: Murphy had a solid game. Had he managed to kick a goal; we just might have won.
[1.5] Harry McKay: H was the only forward on the ground to really get the better of his opponent. But it could have been so much better. The number of times he got his hands to the ball but couldn’t complete the mark was heartbreaking. Then his kicking was diabolical. He had 6 gettable shots, for 1 goal 3 behinds! Therein lies the game.
[1.5] Sam Docherty: Docherty was very strong in defence.
[1] Jack Martin So near and yet so far. Twice in the last quarter alone he had opportunities to goal and didn’t even score. His rundown of Whitfield was excellent, as was his kick for goal. But when it mattered, he didn’t want to take the shot, or didn’t have a left food. With just a little more desire, he could have won the match.
[0.5] Marc Pittonet: Strong in the rock, but not a lot on the ground. He had 2 chances to goal, for 1 poster and one nothing. Both gettable shots. That poster was very stiff. Unfortunately, it was his relative lack of form that has reduced our effectiveness in the middle.
[0.5] Liam Jones: Liam didn’t get enough of the ball, but he destroyed his opponents. His negative work was brilliant. But I’d love some more drive from him. He doesn’t seem to have the confidence to really fly for the ball at the moment.
[0.5] Tom Williamson: Willo got a fair bit of ball and generally kept his opponents on the ultimate diet. But the errors! They were killers!
[0.5] Cameron Polson: Not our worst player and not our worst kick by some margin, Polson was not to blame for our loss. He even provided some run. But mostly he stuck to his man. We really need our defenders to run away from their opponents.
Honourable Mentions:
Kade Simpson: Not a huge night, but one where he did a good job.
Will Setterfied: Not as good as he has been, but a solid citizen in the middle.
Patrick Cripps: Crippa is not getting tagged. He is getting mobbed. He gets attacked by millions whenever he gets the ball. He doesn’t look 100% fit either, nor does it look like his head is quite in the right place. But he kept going. His 2nd half was much better than his first.
