AFL Rd 0: Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane
Team: B+
I’m tempted to give us an A, considering that we beat the premiership favourites at home with half a side on the park, but the first quarter was pretty diabolical. So, B+ will do.
Votes:
[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1.5] Zac Williams
[1.5] Blake Acres
[1.5] Adam Saad
[1] George Hewett
[1] Harry McKay
[1] Charlie Curnow
[1] Adam Cerra
[1] Lewis Young
[1] Brodie Kemp
[1] Mitch McGovern
[0.5] Nic Newman
[0.5] Lachie Fogarty
[0.5] Tom de Koning
[0.5] Jack Carroll
Explanations:
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Considering that Cripps was quiet in the first quarter, and was stuck on the bench for a significant part of the last, to get the possessions he did, and to have the impact he did was … Cripps-like.
[1.5] Zac Williams: In the first quarter and a bit, when we were at our worst, Williams was at his best. He quietened as the game went on, but was still a major contributor.
[1.5] Blake Acres: Another sterling game on the wing and elsewhere.
[1.5] Adam Saad: An excellent job on a difficult opponent.
[1] George Hewett: Very solid in the midfield.
[1] Harry McKay: Some nice contested marks and 3 clutch goals.
[1] Charlie Curnow: Only on top for a short while, but while he was, he changed the game.
[1] Adam Cerra: Another solid game in the midfield.
[1] Lewis Young: Stepped up when required and did an excellent job.
[1] Brodie Kemp: Like Young, he really stepped up.
[1] Mitch McGovern: Dynamic across half back.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Did a great negative job and still got his share of possessions.
[0.5] Lachie Fogarty: Solid across half forward. His tackling and chasing was excellent.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: Stood up in the ruck and curbed the influence of McInerney.
[0.5] Jack Carroll: Good effort for half a game in the midfield.
Honourable Mentions:
Sam Docherty: Very good.
Matt Cottrell: Solid. Dangerous. Damaging.
Basically, everybody did something, even though some had less influence than others. Like a lot of our wins in recent times, it was a real even team performance.
