I found this game quite difficult to vote for. There were a lot of conflicting ideas as to how we went and what we achieved, how consistent we were and how we coped with our (serious) structural problems.
In the end I went for:
Team: B
In the end, we won by 38 points, our biggest win in a long time against anyone, against a team which beat us twice last year and after we lost our ruckman and got smashed in the middle. I can’t complain, although I can look at our performance and think of ways to improve us.
Votes:
[2.5] Weitering
[2.5] Curnow
[2.5] Kerridge
[1.5] Docherty
[1.5] Tuohy
[1] Armfield
[1] Simpson
[1] Cripps
[0.5] Lamb
[0.5] Plowman
[0.5] White
Explanations:
[2.5] Weitering: Took on a couple of opponents, but mostly played on Schache and out-marked him consistently. 14 marks and an excellent display.
[2.5] Curnow: Did a job on his man while getting a lot of the ball himself and kicking one of the goals of the year. 12 tackles says a lot in itself.
[2.5] Kerridge: No the best start, but he really came to the party in his best effort in weeks. Disposal needs some work, but not as much as Robbo’s or Bell’s.
[1.5] Docherty: Didn’t get the ball as much as he has been, but totally ruled his position and kept his opponents worrying about him and not getting the ball themselves.
[1.5] Tuohy: One of his best games for the year. Excellent run out of defence.
[1] Armfield: Pace and excitement: a very solid game from Armfield.
[1] Simpson: Didn’t appear to be as prominent as he was, as he had 24 possessions, but solid. Great run and some nice interceptions.
[1] Cripps: Considering how we got smashed in the ruck, Cripps was excellent. He got centre breaks that were lethal, took some great marks and kicked nicely for goal.
[0.5] Lamb: 3 goals was a good reward.
[0.5] Plowman: Excellent in defence
[0.5] Byrne: Another very solid effort.
Honourable Mentions:
Rowe: Totally dominant in defence before going into the ruck and forward and competing well.
Walker: Didn’t have his kicking boots on, but did provide a fair bit.
Wright: Solid and dependable.
Gorringe: Tried hard in the ruck but impressed far more as a forward running player. He has excellent hands, very quick at moving the ball on and to great effect.
White: Solid and dependable. Took out his opponents.

Great analysis on this page
Congratulations
I noticed that when Gorringe took over the main ruck job he did quite well.
He has a good spring and got his hand to the ball first.
He is not going to compete in the boundary line Maul Rucking and should not try, he is too light.
When he took over we did a lot better.
Couple of good grabs as well.
The ruck coaches have got to keep working on him, he is worth the effort
Team B+ (exceptional after putting pussycats away and short break)

HM
Gibbs after a blinder, Casboult - love the attitude, Walker - building and good in patches, Gorringe - lots to like in the air and below the knees.
