GREAT STUFF.
5. S.Johnson. Clearly best on ground, by a mile. Was our "make things happen" man all day and with 20 kicks and three goals three, he certainly made things happen. Found the footy at both ends and his class was amazingly good.
4. J.Bartel. Always in the thick of it. All day. This bloke seems to be a bit of a WCE bugbear actually. Sign a new contract, Jimmy, and I'll give ya five next week.
3. C.Mooney. Best game for Moons for the year. A really inspired performance at CHB, it looked as if Mooney had sneaked a few things from the WCE Drug Cabinet (or had just overdosed on No-Doz) and was a driving, unstoppable force. He put two things on the park on Saturday; one, a desire to eat young West Coast Eagles for breakfast, and two, a conduit for all his aggression at the footy. Great stuff.
2. C.Ling. I seriously think that something has been wrong with Linger for half this season - his corked buttock again maybe? We all know thanks to the special-shorts legend that there's a fair amount of buttock to be corked and perhaps that's why he was happy to take Cousins on a HBF/BP. He belted Cousins in the air and for strength, found the football and didn't just break even, he smashed Cousins all round the park. I was standing next to a friend of mine (WCE Supporter (*pits to ward off devil*)) who, being female, had a massive crush on Ben Cousins and kept yelling out "Binnie!!!" every time he got the footy. I turned round to my other, Geelong supporting friend, to note the irony that one of the most aesthetically challenged footballers in the league was belting girl-crush material - go Rockling!
1. N.Ablett. Sorry, Rookey.
