Matt Dick: Did very well in the first half but was less conspicuous after half time. He looked good enough to give him a go instead of Smith. 23 possessions.
Matthew Watson:
I don’t see how Watson has not been able to get a game when Jones has got games, to be honest. He has his issues: pace, being the most obvious. But he actually has been taking some reasonable marks and he does lead. He managed 13 possessions and usually did something with them. He also spent time in the ruck to spell Auricchio. Not our worst by a long shot.
Brad Walsh: Very quiet early in the game, but got into it more after half time. Of the kids left in the NB’s, he looks to have value.
Troy Menzel: Played mostly in the midfield and did a decent job, especially in the first half. I’d still play him in the NB’s next week, but he responded well to being dropped.
He is not 100%. He can’t be. His tank let him down, as it has all season.
Blaine Johnson: 13 possessions was just not enough. Didn’t look dangerous enough.
Dillon Viojo-Rainbow: Pretty reasonable after half time, but I don’t think he got a possession in the first half. I am really worried about him.
David Ellard: Had a very quiet game for him at this level. He really didn’t do much and looked proppy.
Chris Yarran: He didn’t have the intensity required and his skills were just not on show. 11 possessions, after spending time both forward and back, wasn’t enough for a player as good as he is. We really need to get into his head, as this was just unacceptable for a guy like him.
Kristian Jaksch: Did a good negative job, but provided little drive from defence and didn’t do much when moved forward. Probably his least effective effort in some time. However, he did keep his opponents very quiet.
For mine, he goes to ground too easily.
Liam Jones: Spent time in defence and did a reasonable job, but gave no drive at all and fell over too often. Maybe he will make a defender, and maybe the horse will learn how to sing.
