We showed so much courage tonight that it pains me to lose, especially as we did. However, I hope the voters were able to get over their grief: I will when we pick up a better kid on Nation Draft Day. But we really showed a lot tonight, so I hope plenty of people feel they saw enough to vote realistically.

Yarran: 1 (set up some good portions of play)
Curnow: 1 (kept Hill quiet for 3 1/2 quarters)
Thomas: 0.5 (best game he's played)
Docherty: 0.5 (that out of bounds in the last killed us, but was hard at the contest all night)

[Team: B
A bitter – sweet result if there ever was one, it makes rating the game problematical. To play so well for so much of the game, but to get so few rewards and a heartbreak to finish….
I look forward to visiting the Undiscovered Country: the Future.

[1] Curnow
[0.5] Carrazzo
[0.5] Docherty
[0.5] Rowe
Explanations:
[3] Judd: Until Judd got injured, he was so far BOG that it was a reminder of just how much we have missed him this year. Superb. Unfortunately his ankle injury changed the game, as he only managed a couple more possessions for the night.
[2.5] Simpson: 3.5 brilliant quarters and a goal that should have been match winning. Simmo gave his all.
[2] Waite: For the 2nd week in a row Waite really stepped up and took some excellent marks. Our forward structure works so much better with Waite playing well.
[1.5] Thomas: Probably his best game for Carlton, even though he did make some ordinary decisions late in the game. He did a good defensive job and his ability to get the ball was excellent.
[1.5] Gibbs: Started a bit quietly, but he really lifted his game and managed a lot of clearances. His snap at goal came within inches of winning the game.
[1] Murphy: 21 possessions was probably his best return against the hard tag all year. The way he stood up to Crowley and the way the other players supported him was pleasing.
[1] Yarran: Another strong game from Yazz in defence. His run out of defence was excellent.
[1] Curnow: Played on Hill all night and really made him ineffective.
[0.5] Carrazzo: Like Curnow, Carrots played an excellent defensive game and helped to totally smother the Freo midfield.
[0.5] Docherty: Very good for much of the game. Unfortunately he still makes some terrible errors under pressure.
[0.5] Rowe: Took Pavlich apart until Pavlich was injured. After that he no longer had a good match up and ended up forward.
Honourable Mentions:
Jamison: Took his man to the cleaners, even though he didn’t have huge stats himself.
Tuohy: 3.5 quarters of totally blanketing Ballantyne, who managed only 8 possessions for the night.
Henderson: Got a fair bit of the ball, but generally too far from goal.
White: Did a very good negating job.

Not really HS...I usually go the E when we lose but felt C was appropriate given the effort minus the mistakes....Ellards misses, Levis dropped marks and Touhys 50metre made a B into a C.... :(
