Remember:
[1] 15 votes in total
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Interesting selection. It will be interesting to see how the others vote.
I won't be voting until I see the game. I terminated my subscription for Kayo because I was jobless. Now I'll have to get it back.

Cripps has been carrying the team on his shoulders...a bloke called Judd had that job and it broke him too.

Murphy hasn't laid one tackle this season.
Not good enough for a leader....

He was the main reason we squared the center clearances after 1/4-time, he was getting to the fall of the football first.

HM: Crippa after he shook off what ailed him, Martin, SPS after he, also, shook off what ailed him.
I too wanted to give Pittonet some votes, but his direct opponent ran rampant and was clearly the BoG.

Will not give Murphy a vote until he tackles someone.
He was the main reason we squared the center clearances after 1/4-time, he was getting to the fall of the football first.
I'll watch the last 2.5 quarters again, I doubt it.
Soft leaders are a liability.

Rucks are like midfielders though, both can have good games. Kreuzer v Grundy was a perfect example last year.

I finally got to see the game today and I'm not very happy.
Never mind, the Universe doesn't pay any attention to me.
Team: C
We were so poor early, that it wasn’t funny. However, our fightback was pretty good. But we really need to want the ball more and be tougher at the ball.
Votes:
[3] Jacob Weitering:
[2] Sam Docherty:
[2] Ed Curnow:
[2] Michael Gibbons:
[2] Marc Murphy:
[1.5] Marc Pittonet:
[1] Liam Jones:
[0.5] Jack Martin:
[0.5] Mitch McGovern:
[0.5] Patrick Cripps:
Explanations:
[3] Jacob Weitering: Total domination of his position. Since he was dropped, he has improved every game.
[2] Sam Docherty: Doc was a little rusty: he made a few errors that he will not do in a few more weeks. However, he was dynamic and provided huge amounts of drive from half back.
[2] Ed Curnow: Had a job on Viney and totally thrashed him. Viney had no impact on the game.
[2] Michael Gibbons: After a very poor start, Gibbo was strong at the ball and more than handy. He still needs to get more of the pill, but you can’t fault his effort.
[2] Marc Murphy: Murphy got a lot of the ball and was pretty good with it. He managed to get the clearances we didn’t get early. However, I would have liked to see more defensive work from him.
[1.5] Marc Pittonet: After being pounded early, Pittonet came back hard and was important in our comeback. Unfortunately, I don’t see him as the premiership ruckman we need. What I didn’t like was that he let Gawn get away from him too often. But for a 1st game, he did a lot of good things.
[1] Liam Jones: Jones was very good in defence but struggled to get as much of the ball as he can do.
[0.5] Jack Martin: Martin looked dangerous all night and did some very nice things. But I would like to have seen some more defensive effort.
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Very ordinary early, but he got into the game when he got on his bike. That is the thing he needs to do more of. He also needs to start holding his marks.
[0.5] Patrick Cripps: I noted that Cripps was held at every single bounce during quarters 2 and 3. He still did a decent job, except for his kicking for goal.
Honourable Mentions:
Harry McKay: H was dangerous and generally beat his opponents on the lead, but he needed to hold more of his contested marks.
Sam Petrevski-Seton: SPS was very poor early, but he picked up his game well.
Sam Walsh: Not Sam’s best game, but he was solid. His disposal was off somewhat.
