It was a bit of an uninspiring game today I thought. Definitely a midfielders game.

5 - Swan
4 - Jolly
3 - Blair
2 - Beams
1 - O'Brien

Elliot deserves a mention for his 15 tackles. What an effort. If only he'd snagged a brace or more to reward that effort.
 
Strange game, lots of good individual performances, though frustrating in many ways to watch.

5. Swan - 43 disposals, 2 goals, 7 tackles
4. Beams - aswell as his 32 possessions and one goal, he looked more assured than ever
3. Jolly - great in ruck and lots around the ground
2. Blair - 32 possessions, 8 tackles, a tiger at the ball
1. Thomas - 26 possessions, two goals 5 tackles

Apologies to Sidey, Wellingham, Goldy ( what a year he's having), Dawes ( best game of the year and three goals) Elliott only nine possessions but 15 tackles...
Great first qtr by Maxy as well.

5 - Swan: good to see him improve on his meagre 38 possessions last week :p
4 - Blair: recent form of Beams & Sidey has overshadowed just how much Blair has improved this year to be an outstanding inside midfielder.
3 - Jolly: didn't just dominate the hitouts this week but got a fair swag of possessions as well. Hopefully brings this form on Friday night to get some redemption for the thrashing he got (individually and along with the rest of the team) last time against the Blues.
2 - Beams: keeps on keeping on. Sign him up now!
1 - Sidebottom: made every possession count.

Mentions to Maxwell & Harry for brilliant first halves, but I couldn't give votes to anyone from our backline after Freo scored on nearly every inside 50 in the second half.
Also to Elliott and Fasolo for great pressure and tackling, and to Dawes for persevering and finally getting some reward.

I felt yesterday's game was a true slog - the number of tackles and contested possessions were more akin to a final - except the crowd which was largely subdued.

Was at the game and was stunned to find out Swan had 42 disposals wow.And Beams just seems the third horseman with Swan and Pendlebury one of the main midfielders.
