Same method as the AFL use on there website, rate every docker from the QF against COLA. Give them votes and if you feel like it, write a mini review.

Ballantyne - 3

His worst game for the year, he really, really struggled. Couldn't do anything at ground level, one behind.

Dawson - 7


Dawson beat Tippett for mine. Kept him to 13d, 4m, 1g. Shorter, weaker than his opponent, but Dawson got the better of this match up

Ibbotson - 7

Massive first half, was our best player on the ground in the first half. Had a quiet second term, but still one of our best players and showed his importance to our team. Some people here have suggested trading him......lol

Pearce - 3

Subbed out says it all. Experienced player, to get subbed out in an important final isn't good enough, very disappointed

Fyfe - 7

Fyfe was good without being great. Was one of few midfielders that actually played well

Walters - 5

Simply couldn't get into the game. Rare for Walters to have such a quiet game, but he did nothing for the first three quarters. Had a pretty good last quarter, but that was it unfortunately

Mzungu - 8

One of our best for the day. Underrated by many, hes a consistently good performer over four quarters

Crowley -

Serious question, who did he actually tag? I haven't rated him because it's 1.30am and I've forgotten who he tagged

Mundy - 6

Piss weak first term, only had two touches. 8 touches to half time. Second half was better, but he was another that didn't deliver overall today. Good game, but you'd expect more from him

Crozier -

No vote given he only played a quarter and you can't give someone high/low votes for his only quarter played. Crozier was ok coming on as the sub

Taberner - 2

Finals pressure and the moment itself got to him. Also worth noting the inside 50 entries were rubbish, so we didn't help him. His dropped mark in the goal square was bad. Hes still young, he'll be better for the experience, but in reality hes lucky not to of been subbed off

Barlow - 7


Barlow was also one of our better players. Though he was part of our midfield that was beaten quite easily by the opposition

Mayne - 4

Unfortunately that was a Chris Mayne 2014 game. Only played a few games we know hes capable of, but this year (mostly because of injury and lack of pre season) hasn't been his year and yesterday he simply didn't do enough

Neale - 7

Neale is coming along nicely. Only thing you could knock him on is his kicking, it's not bad, but it's nothing flashy either. Starting to become more consistent and in a big game, he gets a tick for mine

Pavlich - 8

Champion. Rubbish delivery to him, yet he still had 19d and kicked 4.1

Clarke - 2

It's no secret that I think Clarke is weak and doesn't put in enough effort. How pathetic was his moment against Hannebery. 10d, 6HO. He doesn't do enough, hes been lucky that Griffin and Hannath weren't demanding selection at WAFL. Clarke has simply been poor this year. Someone made a thread about a rumor of freo chasing Ryder, whilst I highly doubt we are, it'd be a good idea to get him, he is miles ahead of Clarke

Sandilands - 6

Talks he may of played injured, it wasn't one of Sandi's better games, thought he didn't deliver early on. His missed set shot in the last was bad, as a leader he needs to kick those.
Hasn't been taking many marks the second half of the season either, although his tap work has improved

Hill - 5

Was simply tagged out of it. Didn't get enough of it and struggled to have an impact

Sutcliffe - 6

I may be wrong, but was Sutty on Goodes? If so I'd say overall Sutty won that battle. Probably didn't provide a whole lot of rebound, but defensively he played well

Spurr - 7

Tough, courageous and a leader, he played a big part in a defense that played well

Silvagni - 8

Did as much as you could ask him to. Absolute animal is SCOS. Sure Buddy kicked three majors, but overall you'd have to say Silvagni played a damn good game

Duffield - 7


Provided rebound and was also part of a defense that had to put up with a lot. Thought it was one of his better games for the year.

I agree with most of that, Mzungu has been great, I rate him very highly. Driffield had one of his best games this year.

Back to Mzungu, his endurance is so awesome, he's always around the ball and positions himself well, he doesn't have the best kick but he's okay.
 
Agree with most. If Tabener is a 2 then surely Pearce is a 1.

It's games like yesterdays that blows my mind that it took so long for Mzungu to get picked up.
 
Thought Dawson deserved an 8, regularly peeled off to help team mates and really stood up. Whole defense was exceptional. Except for a bunch of loose free kicks.

I'd actually give tabs a negative, he was that bad. Didn't chase got bumped off the ball and didn't get near it. Dropped mark in the goal square was The turning point. Shocking changer in the last kicking across goal.


Mzungu on the other hand. i thought he was our best.

Runs hard, hard as a cats head.
 
Our defence did not deserve to have 93 scored against us for the way that they played. Many other different teams supporters were saying that the score said nothing about how well Fremantle's defence played on Sydney's big forwards and they pointed out the amount of goals/points that Sydney had from soft free kicks in their 50.
 
Balla has to have surgery on his jaw again from that front on hit to Grundy . Prob why he was a bit down following that...

Freo's defence was superb, under siege all game. Mids didn't support them enough and forwards didn't capitalise (bar Pav of course) when they had their chances.
 
Agree with most of your assessments Mike except for Mayne. Didn't have much of the ball but every time he did get it he was amazing. I'd give him at least a 5, if he kicked that goal it would've been a 6.
 
Ballas 3 and Son Son 5? I thought each was as useless as the other on Saturday, even taking Ballas injury into account. Though neither were as bad as Clarke or Pearce. I'll excuse Tabs given he's only played a few games but Clark and Pearce were appalling, this isn't the first time Zac has stunk up a big final too.

Agree with the high ratings for Mzungu, Ibbo, Dawson, Silvagni, Duff. If the mids and forwards had played near as hard as the defence we'd be planning home prelim. As a unit I'd give the defence a 9 that was an outstanding performance.
