Was at the game so here is my 2 cents on a few players:
Simpson: Must re sign this guy for 2 years contract. Only true leader we have - should be captain IMO. Was going off at defenders and half forwards not coming up the ground enough. Love seeing a player who plays for the jumper.
Kruezer: B grade ruckman at best ability wise, but tries his heart out so big pass for me. His ground work pressure, tackling and 1%ers are first rate. Our mids need his big frame in the contest and i think he would be sorely missed if we didn't have him
Gibbs: How do you get over 30 touches yet be one of our worst players - Heard on the radio after the game he went at just over 30% efficiency! Amount of time he kicks the ball forward without looking is amazing. Must have been over 10 times he kicked directly to the opposition hacking it forward.
Plowman: Really knows how to defend under pressure - Positions himself perfectly when the ball is coming in high and he is one on one. Watches the ball not just his opponent. Great long term trade.
As others have noted defence is looking quite sound dont mind the ruck set up with Kruezer and Phillips but mids lack outside run and forwards are non existent.
