Good:
Senior players stood up.
Think laird was bog. Think he gets unfairly treated because he's not elite and he's a senior player. He's an A grade mid when in form and today he was on.
Dawson. Aside from a couple of really poor decisions, he was getting back to his best in the midfield.
Pedlar just so high impact and fun to watch. I would get a 10 on my guernsey if I already didn't have 32.
Keays excellent through the midfield. Did the job on Neale when on him. He has a role that's for sure. Just wish he wouldn't take so many shots at goal.
Milera's best game for a long time. I don't think I've ever seen him get htb against? Probably one of the best in the comp for evasion and it's not as if he's that powerful.
Defenders collectively did really well given the amount of ball that came in and the quality of their forwards. Think they were bound to get a few, but no one dominated. Murray excellent. Butts good in the air but gee he fumbled a lot on the ground. Doedee solid on Rayner.
Worrell good first game back. Pretty clear we rate him and he'll stay in if fit.
Rachele probably best game for the year imo. Was smart with the ball, which is what I liked best. Used his evasiveness and held up until something presented. A lot more calm with the ball. That's an asset.
Rankine could have had a much better game, but it was one of his better ones still. Missed a few chances.
McHenry pretty good.
Fog good when the ball hit the ground. Going to struggle against good defences in the air so he needs to make the ground balls count.
Obrien did pretty well in the end. Started poorly but he was getting the better of O by the end and was even getting some nice taps in. Hope he keeps that up.
Jones handy in the first half.
Average:
Michallaney first game where he was beaten. Don't mean to be harsh on him and more just pointing out how amazing it is that it's the first time. Cameron probably his toughest opponent and he still did really well in some contests.
Soligo not bad, but this game typified his season for me. He's not as clever as he was last year with his ball use and decision making and seems a bit vanilla right now. He needs some more size as he gets caught quite easily when taking players on. Had really high expectations for him this year but I might have to wait until 2024 once he gets more strength and some more games under his belt.
Sloane quiet first half but really lifted in the last quarter. Having a good year and I can't see why people want him out other than they don't like senior players.
Murphy was non-existent when the conditions should have suited him.
Sholl not great. For such a good kick, he doesn't use it to cut through the middle like he should. Often holds it up or take an easy option down the line. Had a good start to the year but I'm still not sure if he makes it long term.
