Just loves drawing the heat and then farming the handball out to someone in space. 29 pos 19 contested 9 clearances. Still not at his absolute peak with a few fumbles and missed handballs (splitting hairs).
Docherty - went to a whole new level today. Looked like Bruce Doull back there - clean hands, kept running away from half back. Such a calming influence on the others.
Simmo - 31 pos at 90%. I can't remember the 10% that missed a target. Awesome.
Gibbs - he is such a front-runner but had a good game today. Those 3 goals we poise and class. A few of his teammates stuffed up sitters but he was just calm.
Rowe was pretty solid today.
Armfield did some really good things. Competitor.
Everitt and Walker looked short of a run today. Everitt - wow he does some bad things - like dropping easy chest-marks then panick turnover then doesn't chase to make up for his bad play. Wasn't terrible overall but... coach killer.
Plowman had his worst game but wasn't terrible. We missed Weitering at times.
Walker should have played Nb's..was a passenger all day and needs a couple of games to get the rust out....
Everitt was Everitt....capable goalkicker but lazy at crucial contests..
Rowe...solid and one of his best games, got to admire a bloke who came back from serious illness and who was just a handy SANFL player...think he is important to us
and gives Weitering and Plowman some cover..
Plowman..was woeful...fumbled, looked uncomfortable vs the bigger White but all players have an off day and I still like the way
he goes about his footy and is very disciplined.
Docherty is a very good player and one of first picked IMO......
Simpson...brave little soldier who keeps surprising, just when you think he might be on the way out he bursts out of defense, beats two or three players and
hits some good targets, should keep playing next season.
