Team B

5 - Cripps
4 - Weiters
3 - Walsh
2 - Kennedy
1 - Pitto

Fans might think Cripps wasn't having an impact, but the bloke gets monstered on the inside at every stoppage with almost zero reward, then they reward him a free kick for a tiggy touchwood leveller on the outside as an apology. On the replay I noticed Kennedy doing a power of work, but he's carrying an injury of some sort and looks a bit sore at times. Had to give Pitto a vote, he basically stalled Gawn's influence which is a win.

Explanations:
I didn’t really have enough votes this week to reasonably cover the way our players performed over most of the night. We really did have some great performances.
[2] Jacob Weitering: The most dominant player on the ground. He destroyed his opponents and provided a lot of drive.
[2] Patrick Cripps: 35 possessions, 5 tackles, 5 clearances and could have been more if he’d got a free or two.
[2] Sam Walsh: 34 possessions, 11 tackles and 5 clearances. Says it all.
[1.5] Oliver Hollands: Probably his best game. He was fantastic early, but lost influence as the game went on.
[1] Matthew Kennedy: Extremely solid in the middle.
[1] Adam Cerra: We lost drive from the middle when Cincotta went off. He was excellent.
[1] Matthew Owies: 3 really important goals.
[1] Charlie Curnow: One of his better gams for the year, even though he didn’t get heaps of the ball.
[1] Marc Pittonet: Worked well against Gawn. When he was off in the last few minutes, Gawn got on top.
[1] Alex Cincotta: Deserves a lot more than 1 vote for destroying Pickett. A really good job in shutting him down and doing some great defensive work.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Solid
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Brilliant early, showing why he is so important to our defence.
[0.5] Blake Acres: Did some good things and won his position.

Honourable Mentions:
Brodie Kemp: Deserves a mention for destroying his opponents.
Jordan Boyd: Like Kemp, he deserved a lot more than just a mention.
Tom de Koning: Dangerous as a forward, not so great in the ruck.
Harry McKay: A solid target at CHF.
