Good:
Rory Laird
- was an absolute beast today in his 200th, and a genuine chance to take the 3 Brownlow votes away from the bloke who kicked 8 in his farewell game.
Fog - speaking of beasts, this guy is in some sort of form. Has turned things around to a level that we could have only dreamed of about 3 months ago. Oozing confidence and class.
Sam Berry - continues to be hard as a cat’s head, and his tackling prowess is quite simply the best in the game. Will play 300 games for the club if his body can hold up.
Jake Soligo - supreme value in the 30s here, and much like Berry, looks a potential 300 gamer to me. Has better vision and footy IQ than pretty much anyone on our list.
McAdam - arguably his best game for the club. Was excellent and played 4 quarters.
Hinge - see comments above for McAdam.
Murphy - one of his best games for the year
Worrell - remind me of why it took us until Round 20 to play this kid? He’s pretty much our best defender already, unless you count Dawson who shouldn’t be playing there LOL
The ability to win an away game in front of a packed house despite Tex copping a bath, and an opposition retiring champion kicking 8
Bad:
Jordan Butts - after being our best young player in 2021, he has regressed sharply this year and looks set to take out the reverse Coleman. Had an absolute shocker.
Tex - worst game he’s played for a long time. Looked distracted.
Smith - complete and utter garbage from Brodie. If it wasn’t for his excellent game against Carlton combined with injuries to McPherson and Hamill, he’d be a near certainty to be dropped after that.
Schoenberg - was s**t
Himmelberg’s first 2.5 quarters - just wow. Did genuinely redeem himself late, but just wow haha
Keays - had an absolute shocker
Murray - wasn’t much better than Butts
Ugly:
West Coast’s next 5 years
Hamill copping yet another concussion - career threatening stuff here now, and he’s such a promising young player too.
The amount of time it takes O’Brien to get ball from hand to foot
