My assessment of each players game.
I have rated this purely on performance - no bump up in rating purely because someone is a rookie.
Ainsworth: 7/10 - started slow but got involved late and snuffed out any chance of a WC comeback. 16 possessions, 7 contested, 2 goals, 7 score involvements
Anderson: 5/10 - 19 disposals but rushed at times. Nice finish for goal. 19 disposals @ 57%, 33% kicking efficiency, 7 clangers, 1 goal, 3 score involvements
Ballard: 6/10 - Beaten only once or twice. Didn't offer a lot of drive from defence but did his job. 1 contested intercept mark, 11 1%ers
Bowes: 8/10 - Offered a lot of drive from defence. Assured with ball in hand. 17 disposals @88%, 6 intercept possessions.
Budarick: 8/10 - Thought he was outstanding on Cripps, one of the most reliable small forwards in the competition. Rebounded well. 16 disposals.
Collins: 8/10 - Didn't get out marked once. Was often there to cut of West Coast exit from their back half. 10 1%ers, played 100% TOG.
Day: 9/10 - Presented, clean hands in marking contests, 2 goals, 3 goal assists, team high 8 score involvements. West Coast defenders kept accountable.
Fiorini: 6/10 - Link up player on way out of defence, Bowes to Fiorini a number of times. 21 disposals, only 5 contested but 81% DE. Few sloppy kicks inside 50.
Greenwood: 7/10 - Not a flashy game but worked hard in the trenches, 20 disposals, 14 contested @ 55%, team high 7 clearances, kicked a goal.
Hanley: 8/10 - Started well, provided drive team high 7 intercept possessions + 433m gained. His spoil, delivery i50 lead to Lukosius goal put us up 25 in q3.
Harbrow: 6/10 - Ryan had opportunities but didn't capitalise, gave away a free to give Allen a goal. 10 disposals @ 100%.
Holman: 5/10 - Bought the forward pressure. Antagonistic, tackled hard. Nice goal but didn't do much offensively, only 6 possessions.
King: 6/10 - Presented lots, contested well, just inches away from having a great game. Equal career high 7 marks, 2 contested marks, 3 shots on goal.
Lemmens 8/10 - Hassled and harassed when we didn't have the ball. 12 possessions, 8 contested @ 83%, team high 7 score involvements. 1 goal, 2 GA.
Lukosius 6/10 - Wasn't perfect defensively but used his laser boot well, 355m gained. 1 goal, Sam Day should have spotted him up for a second in 1st half.
Macpherson 5/10 - Was solid with imposing himself, didn't do anything wrong. Kicked 1 and 1 goal assist, good positioning permitted Lukosius goal.
Miller 7/10 - 22 possessions, 4 tackles, pressured well around the clinches. Did well to nullify Kelly's influence second half.
Powell 7/10 - 21 possessions, 8 contested @71%, linking midfield to forward line, equal team high 7 score involvements. few sloppy kicks, getting stronger.
Rowell 10/10 - What more can you say. Bull, 100% heart, speed and strength from contest. Polish to finish up front. Complete game from the youngster.
Sexton 5/10 - Few classic selfish Sexton moments. 4 shots on goal is good, but failed to kick one. 6 score involvements. Went at 28% DE.
Weller 8/10 - Very good in the first half - 17 possessions, finished with 24. Speed often broke open the contest. 5 clearances was 2nd highest. Only 58% DE
Witts 8/10 - Nullified Naitanui influence in the ruck, was better around the ground. 3 clearances. Played 89% TOG.
