I didn't think any of our boys actually played a better than average game by their own standards.
Cripps and Jones were solid, SPS was good, Cunningham played his role and Simpson really struggled under pressure.
Fair enough.
I thought they got hold of us a couple of times but we generally controlled the tempo and played the game on our terms. A lot of Collingwood possessions were inconsequential and I think that making that last shot at goal would have produced a fair result - neither team really deserved to win.
The way I saw the game, Simmo worked his way up decent form in the second half and was critical in several chains of possessions. It was certainly not one of his better games but I’d still include him in our best players.
