Davis - Baker sweated him all day and didnt give him any space. The goal was good and a couple of his defensive efforts were ok but he is in trouble for next week.
Didak - Good early but he faded. Was very happy with his 'want' to put his head over the ball and I think will be better for the run
Maxwell - Just terrific. Gilbert got him and the goal he kicked on him came at a bad time but the Capt was just superb all day and especially in the last
Obrien - Good early but I thought he fumbled his way thru the last half. Wasnt as assured as usually but he will be better next week.
Pendles - Another who was pretty good early but they just took him out of the game and he didnt have a lot of influence. To be honest he looked stuffed. Wont play that bad again.
Ball - Quiet wasnt he. I was at training on Friday and his agility was ok so I think just a quiet day trying to beat Hayes. Will go better.
Thomas - Outstanding and his run and second efforts were super. Bad decision not to handpass to Beams in last when he preferred to kick to Dawes and they goaled. The worry is was lairy at times when he shouldnt have been.
Brown - Ok without being great. I said Blake would go with him and he did.
Brown - Super job on Nick. Thankfully was helped with only 35 inside 50's and their 3rd man ups working well. Worry is if they go in 45-50 times!
Beams - very quiet and the occassion was to much maybe. Will be better for the run but his last few weeks have been average so needs a big one.
Jolly - Good but Kosi got to him in the second half. First goal was awesome wasnt it.
Reid - Very good. Kept Kosi to 3 touches I think when he was on him. Again though he fumbled a few times when he wouldnt normally.
Wellers - 13 touches and very few of his trademark runs. Needs an up tempo game and didnt get it. If fit look out for next week as his running could be huge.
Sidey - Terrific but just wished he imposed himself more on the contest at times. Was unlucky to get a free in front of goal
Johnson - good early but I thought he went out of it a bit. Good last few mins though from what I could see.
Caf - Another not sure about. I thought he was good but quick look of stats says just ok. Occassion probably got to him and he struggled to keep Gilbert out of the game. Will go better
Dawes - Look he led and marked ok but his kicking was not up to normal standard. Usually has no problem with most of the distances he had yesterday but just got under them all. Looked stuffed late and Dawson ran off him couple of times but he was ok.
Cloke - really feel for the bloke. Should have kicked those 2 goals but he provided a contest and probably didnt get enough space. Always seemed to have a contest around him.
Tooves - Good. Not a lot of stats but kept bloke goal less and wasnt overawed.
Swan - Good early but didnt have his best. Need a better one next week.
Shaw - very good. was loose for a bit but played well and huge last qtr and one of the reasons it was a draw.
Blair - Nice early goal but was a bad miss in front. Probably misses next week for Locks for mine.

- Said before the game I thought Saints would win bc of their older bodies, and experience vs our inexperience. I think all those things played out. Some of our kids got really lost and hence they will be better for the run. Leg speed is going to be huge next week and we have that but the kids need to back up.
- Dont be misguided about the misses - 7 were rushed
- We didnt get the game played on our terms outside the first 15 mins. Saints shut the space and we got no run. That is Micks biggest issue.
