Davis - was good wasnt he. I think been a bit harshly treated lately. Good first 3 qtrs. every time he got it he used it well and set up a couple of goals. last got behind the ball and was even better...even tackle pressure in the middle was good. Just unsure why he hasnt been getting that run but hey Mick knows best. Would like to see him get more of that run to get him into the game. Must be in the 22.
Didak - super game and that 3goals in the third was just so much fun to watch wasnt it. He is sublime this guy and when we are up its usually got him right in the middle of it. Finals are the only mountain left for this bloke.
Goldy - serviceable. Some nice things but nohting huge. Personally i rate him fairly highly because he has played well in finals before and his kicking is better than most. Also very flexible. Fear he will seek a trade to GC if he doesnt get more game time.
OBrien - Execellent first half but he did play on one of the only two guys that won their spot. Still was very offensive and read the game wonderfully well in the first half and was one of the reasons we blew them off at the start.
Anthony - Wasnt great early and looked a bit laconic at times. Was v good in the last and he is definately one that should be looked at more as a defender. He aint a key fwd so needs another spot.
Pendles - was really good. I am critical at times because I think he just goes at 95% at times but tonight was tremendous. Took some contested marks which really impressed me. His decision making was first class as well. Prepared to hold and draw which is a great skill.
Ball - Was good without being great. Thought he got better as game went on.
Thomas - Gosh I am just loving seeing this kid step up. A year ago we were all questioning the engine, the upside etc. Good lesson in that.....these young kids need time and all develop at different stages dont they! 100 games down.....how many more to come.
Brown - did what his job asks of him. Present, contest and support in ruck. Was happy enough. Give to Didak was super.
Beams - Very Very good. His run was back to his best after a few weeks of being a bit lacking. He is an absolute A grader this kid. Kicking was very good tonight as was his running fwd of the ball.
Jolly - Unbelievable. Swan was BOG but Jolly was next in line wasnt he. Got smashed up in the ruck contests in the second but other than that, 4 goals, 20 disposals at 95% efficiency...wow!
Reid - very good and keeps getting better. His field kicking in that first half was awesome.
Wellers - good game but kicking needs to improve.
Locks - Super early. Kicked 2 goals in the first half and presented well. Bit quieter in the last half but still ok.
Johnson - bit like Wellers insomcuh as plenty of run and possessions but just not convinced a good user under pressure. Anyone notice him do something I havent seen him do for a while?
Dawes - Great game from the big boy. Opp wasnt great but he still did it and will have drawn a lot from it. Its also the ability to do work once the ball is on the ground or when he is out of position. Stick with him Mick....he is the answer.
Cloke - 10 marks and plenty of touches. Good game by the big fella. Couple of his field kicks were terrific.
Tooves - was really good. Thought he was excellent early and did all the things they would have asked of him. Run and decision making was good and tonight he used it well.
Presti - Good
Swan - BOG.......again! For me his efforts early set us up!
Shaw - nice to see him play well when he was tagged early. Hopefully he is learning from that. Still you would wonder what was going thru the head with a couple of those gives by hand.
Blair - Was a standout at gippy and got AA. was rapt when we drafted him and i likened him a while ago to a Sam Mitchell and frankly what I saw tonight hasnt swayed that view. very hard worked and this will only spur him on. How good was the smile when Dids kicked the 3rd of his goals.
Changes for next week;
In - Dick, Maxwell, Sidebottom
Out - Beams (rest), Anthony, Blair (unfortunately)
