Interesting. If I was voting this season, I would've easily given Cuz 5 today. I thought he was great, and not only in his trademark stylish play, but in the way he was doing the tough stuff too. The spoiling, the smothers, the shepparding and so on. I saw someone say they weren't impressed with his disposal, but that was actually one area i thought was improved. I've been tough on his kicking for a few years now, and noted the improvement this afternoon. Funny how we see things differently.
That's what I saw...I thought he was fantastic and our only 4 quarter player.
5 - Cousins - read EF's summary.
4 - Braun - did all the hard work, won 1 on 1 contests, kicked a goal, chased, tackled...he did it all. Remnants of the 99 Braun we all loved!
3 - Embley - kicked 3 goals and should have had more, again got more than 20 disposals and provided a contest with 6 grabs. He is quickly becoming a star.
2 - Jakovich - kept leading all day, always working and providing a target. Kicked 2 goals and you cant ask for more than that out of a makeshift CHF. Seems Jako either plays well or plays ****e...cant find that happy medium (average game)

1 - Fletcher - ran all day and kicked a doosy of a goal to give us a sniff.
Apologies to Phil Matera who is THE best goal sneak in the country, no questions asked. Kicked 3 in the last to keep us in it. Gardiner again for been a 1 man rucking division. Sampi for kicking 3, 3 goals from a forward is all you can ask, he also kicked the most important one. Kerr and Chick for having 13 tackles between them when the rest of the team managed 25. Add Braun's 4 and you have 17 from those 3 alone and 21 from the rest of the team. Not good enough.
