Cripps blew me away. His tackling was crush-tastic. And his ability to stand up in a tackle and find away of giving off the ball in heavy traffic was astonishing. Cripps was there for us when StKilda was ontop. He kept up in the game.
Murph was fantastic. He was smashed off the ball - as has been said here - but stood up, something he rarely does. About time.
Rowe is a liability this year. I would drop Bolt but give us something around the ground and is good in the ruck. But his kicking is embarrassing. Liam Jones tried hard, and should have kicked three, but like the Bolt, looses his bundle in front of goal.
Buckley's run was thrilling, even if he did stuff up a couple of times. Buckley playing allows them to play Yazz through the middle and up forward.
Loved Hendo, but he needs to do that more often. Same goes with Bell. Has the will, just needs to be more consistent and sort out his skills.
Gibbs - meh. Can't deal with pressure. Curnow got ontop of Stevens. Carrots is shot. Toooey continued his good form. Same with Docherty. Everitt mixes brilliance with some awful rubbish, but I like him in the team. Simmo was Simmo. Dicks reminded me of Laidler. Broky is Lucas but can tackle and has smarts.
Jamo must be injured. Thank God he played on Paddy. Ellard played one of his best games. Army murdered Savage and gave us run as well. Wood played his best game and actually looked like a ruckman.
Overall, plenty to like. We might even be able to put up a fight against the Scum.
Dicks, Carrots, Rowe out for Jaksch, Judd and Menzel next week.
In reality, though, if Menz and Judd are fit, they'll probably drop Dicks, Broky and maybe Ellard.
