POTY
5. Reilly - One of the few players to make a 4 quarter contribution, and did a great job on Burgoyne when moved onto him after half time. Got plenty of his own ball as well.
4. Dangerfield - almost non-existent first half, but a match-winning 2nd half, particularly that outstanding 3rd quarter of his. You have to pinch yourself to realise just how young he is for how good he is!!
3. Tambling - he's going to be a great get for this club. His speed and carry were vital, especially in the first half. Great game, and IMO there's even better to come.
2. Stevens - a couple of clangers but gee, he was good. Along with Reilly and Doughty, he gets the shit rubbished out of him for just existing by the uninformed posters, who seem to be blind to his contribution week after week. Saved us constantly when we were under siege.
1. Davis - while Buddy got a fair bit of the ball on him, most of that was because Davis allowed Buddy to roam up-field while he waited for the ball to come in. Great reader of the play, cool as a cucumber, and did well in the one on ones against Buddy. Genuine star of the future.
Unlucky: - McKernan, Sloane. Vince and Walker.
Best Team Man:
3. Sloane - courageous little bugger that he is, we're going to miss him while he's gone. He's not big, but he puts it all on the line for the club in every contest and on top of that he can really play as well. Unselfish too. You have to love Sloaney!!
2. Stevens - See POTY. Epitomises what the team man award stands for.
3. van Berlo - had to sacrifice his game and help fill Porps role once he'd gone from the game so early. Led the side well, won plenty of hard ball and kicked 2 A grade goals. Born to be a leader.
ROOKIE
3. McKernan - IMO, by far the better of our 2 ruckman on the night, and if he can carry that form on, he'll cement a permanent spot in the side. Took some nice grabs and really performed when the game was on the line. Keep that hair short Smack - it's your secret to success!!
2. Smith - thank you very much - to all the other clubs that never drafted him before our turn. Quality young player, who more than held his own in this baptism of fire. Has speed and provides run and depth when he gets the ball. 200 plus gamer of the future.
