Wow this is hard. No loafers today, even Rohan with low stats put in as always and was a bit stiff with a couple of FA and missed goals. Could have been much better return.
5. Danger
4. Blitz - was everywhere. One CB he rucked, tackled and got the clearance in three separate plays. Amazing
3. Smith - why we got him on show, after a few iffy games
2. Hawk - should have kicked 6-8
1. Close - great skills and composure
Others:
MOC - a great and clean game, imposed himself
SDK - quieter later in the game but a revelation
Miers - in an article two weeks ago he said he loves the big stage. 2 big finals later maybe the doubters are on board
Selwood - of course, started off like a train and you could argue he deserved a vote as others have
Duncan - clean and imposed himself
Tououohy - love the guy. What a leg
Atkins - in true style worked his way into it and as tough as old boots. What a season
Cameron - quieter but so positive and a bit stiff also
Henry - blanketed the smart arse totally, a bit sad to see Buddy resort to the mouth
Bews - steady as always and creative to boot
Kolo - could have snagged a vote. Last couple of games have been fabulous
Cuthrie - as always in the middle of it and won plenty
Zuthrie - what a credit to the kid and Club that he shone when needed. Creative off back
Stanley - solid all day and won easily
Stewart - I thought not his best game but he did what he always does and did it well
Stengle - could have voted. A great story and a great game
Parfitt - snagged a goal and got involved. A good in by the MC
