Simpson similar (constantly caught on wrong side) but kept getting to the drop of the ball. Contrasted with Palmer who had an awful first half but applied manic pressure in the second which locked the ball in and really exposed the bummer's small backs. Wouldn't place any in the best but still made critical contributions.
Pickett struggled in the wet but looks like he could kick a bag one day, needs game time. Burnt three goals today.
Agree on Gibbs, got me frustrated at times with lazy stuff but seemed to enjoy tackling Essendon players and I thought he earned his money, Simpson didnt enjoy the wet and played a very conservative game IMO.
Palmer was rusty all day IMO but he did give some effort in the 2nd half....Kerridge was hopeless all day and couldnt do anything right till that last goal but that should give him another game.
Pickett is a bit of a daredevil who backs himself and doesnt care if its wet or dry he just plays the same way and in the wet he came unstuck but at Etihad in the dry could come out and kick a bag vs the Suns...
