Hmm very difficult this week i'll have to go with:

5 - Johnstone - All class as usual, little bit off with his kicking but still set up a lot of play
4 - Bruce - Great game shutting down anyone he played on
3 - Rivers - Classy in his favourite floating role in the backline
2 - Carroll - Just about AA full back at the minute
1 - Davey - Brilliant as always

Pretty hard to leave Green, Yze, Holland, Bartram and White out of the votes as well. Just a bloody good game from us.
 
5 - Johnstone - obvious choice
4 - Bruce - typically excellent performance
3 - Davey - kicked some great goals in the second which split the game open
2 - Yze - 4 goals, closed the game out in the second half
1 - Bartram - sensational on Leon Davis. Love this kid

Everyone was superb. Youngsters were sensational and steeped up like they needed to.

Special mention to Phil Read who filled Brock's role the best he could.

White easily I haven't seen the stats but he killed Fraser.
Pickett there was 2 of him out there
TJ wasted it a bit but was everywhere
Bruce great game
Holland killed Rocca

Unlucky: Bate, Read:eek: , JMac, Yze, Carroll, Daveyetc..
 
5 - Johnstone
4 - Bruce
3 - Davey
2 - White
1 - Bate

With the exception of Robertson, everyone in the team played well.

(EDIT - I didn't realise Bruce had it 28 times and kicked 2 goals, along with beating Tarrant)
 
5 - Johnstone - absolutely brilliant. Is really one of the top players in the comp now.
4 - Bruce - Added another string to his bow against Tarrant. Absolute Gun. With TJ the best on our list.
3 - Davey - 3 goals, set up another 3. Back to form in a big way.
2 - Read - Just finished Godfreys career with a great display.
1 - Holland - To keep big Rocca to 3 touches, no marks. Great Effort :thumbsu:

Apologies - Pretty much everyone else
Collingwood only had 2 winners on the ground in Didak and Clement. Rest were smashed by there Melbourne opponents.
Special mentions to Bate - best game for the club.
Rivers/Carrol - Best combination in the league at present.
Pickett - How good has this guy been.
 
This is too hard - the rose coloured goggles scream "Spread the love around" for beating the Pies.

Here goes:

5. Travis Johnstone - A Class above the Collingwood middie
4. Cameron Bruce - Just a lazy day, go back - pants Tarrant, wander up the ground - grab more possessions, whip back in time to pants Tarrant (again).
3. Aaron Davey - The spark that the Dees needed, just when the game flatlines, he gets back into it.
2. Jeff White - Really waved back didn't he?
1. Jared Rivers - the backline floater, the goal kicker, oh god...

Honorable mentions: Bate - his handballing work was superb and his strength to get the hands off in a tackle was a great cog. Carroll and Holland, great blanket work down back. Yze - great goals and 100x the player he was last year. Pickett's workrate was great stuff although he didn't get the chance to hurt physically, he hurt them where it mattered. Bartram was great, Philthy Phil Read was back in action and Green was a great link man.
 
5 - Johnstone - Really turned it on in the 2nd half and was BOG again
4 - Rivers - Fantastic floating in defence and even booted 2 goals!
3 - Bruce - Great game all round the ground, even played as CHB on Tarrant!
2 - Carroll - Super consistent defence, all year round
1 - Davey - Great game after a quiet few weeks

Apologies to Pickett, White, Yze, Bate
 
5. Carroll - This may be contentious to some, but he IMO was BOG today. Just blanketed Buckley completely, easily beat Tarrant when he was on him, was very hard at it and was good with rebound. The AA FB currently.
4. TJ - If not for a few errors, I would have given him the 5. Still awesome though.
3. Bruce - Everywhere. Mauls Tarrant, picks up a lazy 28 with 2 goals and didn't waste a possession.
2. Dutchy - I've criticised him in the past as we all have, but he was superb on Rocca. Rocca had 3 disposals and all of those were from frees.
1. Flash - Good game to get back in form. Didn't waste a possession, set up several goals and that chase down and the goal after the siren was fantastic.

5. Travis Johnstone - A class above everyone. Just goes about it in slow motion almost
4. Cameron Bruce - Killed Tarrant. Mauled Tarrant. Ran off him for 28 and a couple of goals.
3. Aaron Davey - Quiet for a few weeks, turned it on today
2. Jeff White - Smashed Fraser. I think Fraser might not wave to anyone in the near future
1. Ben Holland - Coud've been Carroll, but he dominated Rocca, 3 possesions, 3 free kicks, and played a ripper

Bate, Carroll, Read, and pretty much everyone else were great as well. JMac KILLED the clearances, cannot believe i couldnt fit him in
 
Too hard to do votes. Need to watch the replay first I think.

But just quickly, you know you're having a good day when your best defender kicks 2 goals. Damn he's a gun :cool:
 
5 - Travis Johnston
4 - Cameron Bruce
3 - Nathan Carroll
2 - Matthew Bate
1 - Brad Green
