[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

We took on a good team in unfamiliar conditions and won comfortably. Add that it was a Friday Night, something we haven’t been able to handle for years and that we were on free-to-air TV.
The only really ordinary thing was the kicking on goal.
Votes:
This week it is hard because we didn’t have anyone who didn’t make a contribution, even Eddie Betts was good when he didn’t have the fumbles.

Each one is these is severely undervalued and should be multiplied by about 2 or 3, but …
Explanations:
[2] Marc Murphy: 2 votes is almost an insult to Murphy who played probably his most complete game for the year.
[2] Patrick Cripps: Another step back towards form from Cripps, whose centre clearance work was brilliant. He willed himself to contests, which I really loved.
[2] Sam Walsh: The clown in the media can say what they like, we we got a winner in Sam Walsh. His gutsy football and hard work is an example to follow.
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Granted that the ball didn’t come into the Gold Coast forward line very well, but Jacob really had a great game and destroyed on the game’s rising stars.
[1] Liam Jones: Jones was Jones. Excellent.
[1] Michael Gibbons: Gibbo continues to show his value and his hardness.
[1] Jack Martin: Martin was excellent over the night, but for his kicking at goal. The smooth way he moved, the pace and the ball handling say it all.
[1] Zac Fisher: A very solid game from Fisher, who really got to use his pace effectively.
[1] Jack Newnes: Newnes played probably his best game for us and managed over 20 possessions. Hs hands were excellent.
[0.5] Will Setterfield: Very solid game from Setters.
[0.5] Ed Curnow: Ed was really solid: he beat his opponents and moved the ball forward well.
[0.5] Kade Simpson: Solid in defence. Another good Simmo game.
[0.5] Harry McKay: had he been able to kick straight … H was good, but he could have been so much better.
[0.5] Sam Docherty: Very solid in defence.
Honourable Mentions:
Tom de Koning: You Tom showed a fair bit in the ruck. His athleticism was also on show. Not far away from a breakout game.
Tom Williamson: Willi was pretty good today. I was pleased with his endeavour.
Levi Casboult: Uncharacteristically fumbly, but still very dangerous.
Matthew Cottrell: Not quite as good as last week. He had more than a few opportunities but fumbled them early. Better as the game went on and shows he has a future in our defensive half. Good to see him on the ball at time as well, doing his job.

Team = A (despite the inaccurate kicking for goal) because it was great to see such an even domination of an opponent and to see such effective field kicking in difficult conditions.

McKay was stiff to miss out but bad kicking is bad football.
Team B
5 Murphy (Set the ball rolling, set the tone in slippery conditions,)
4 Walsh (Playing more like a 28 year old each week!)
3 Cripps (Getting back to his monster best.)
2 Weitering (The real deal for KPD and leader.)
1 Martin (We missed him, you could see why!)
(Another good game from De Koning, that creating a real conundrum for the MC, Newnes was quite good early, Fisher and levi were both hard at the contest as well, Jones was quite good as well, confidence is king!)
