I feel like Hayward was rated fairly. I think it would be unfair to have him any higher or lower. I often hear that he has one of the hardest roles to play in the team, but I also think he has one of the lowest of bars to pass to classify as a "good game." The standard Hayward game is a goal or two, a good mark or two, a good tackle or two. That's literally it. Someone's gotta do it and he's pretty reliable at doing it but I still can't justify rating him above anyone who I had above him.

Re Mills, it was based on their overall seasons, and was only out of the players who played a handful of games at least. Out of those players, I think Mills probably played the least amount of good games this year, so whilst I obviously rate him as a player over many of the players above him, the output and performance as a whole just wasn't there. (And I don't think there's any shame in that, given the amount of footy he missed and the fact he was never quite at 100% to me.)
