Warnock - did the bulk of the ruck work v. Cox NickNat and Lycett.
Murphy - commanding midfield performance and good captains game, led by example.
Simmo - seemed to be in the thick of a lot of action and was a great steadying influence across the half back line. Inspires others.

Plenty of others were pretty good!

Murphy starting to lead by example, needs to back it up every other week..
Rowe did very well down back.
Buckley, this kid is a GUN ..
Warnock took on all three and gave all.
Simmo lead from the front.
Gibbs
McLean not bad for a slow old fart..  :P

Honourable mention for Mitch Robinson appears to be learning about lowering his vision and hitting targets.

Showed he's not a stupid footballer and can make changes to improve his standing in the team.

Murphy - Captain's game.
Waite - best forward (just pipped Garlett).
Gibbs - a few blues but 11 tackles and a hand in most of our goals.

McLean, Garlett, Simpson, Jamison, White, Thomas, etc not far off.

Murphy, Gibbs, McLean.

Win the ball at stoppages and you go a long way to winning games, we won the stoppages today due to those three despite Warnock not dominating taps.


Agree, we won the battle of the midfield and these 3 were the heart and soul of ours tonight.

For once Warnock didn't win the hitouts. Yet it was by far his most effective game for us IMO. Clearly pinpointed our mids when it mattered, kicked a goal, and made some very good tackles and pressure acts against the dynamic duo of Nic Nat and Big Cox.

Murphy laid 11 tackles and had 9 clearances to go with his 32 touches and a goal.

Finally, playing in the land of the giants with opponents varying from Cox, Nic Nat, Kennedy, Darling and Lycett i think Rowe was outstanding. With limited athletic ability compared to all 5 of his west coast opponents he did remarkably well. He had equal worst amount of disposals for the Navy Blues, but with a mammoth 18 1%ers, it shows he clearly influenced the play.
Hard to argue with any of that

Warnock has grown as a Ruckman in the past 2 weeks. Pardon the pun.

Even now Warnock is only 50% of what Kreuzer gives the team at ground level stoppages almost every game.

It is easy to think at the moment Warnock is great because he has started doing what is expected by a basic ruckmen, and it is contrasted by the tripe he has been dishing up for six years! Getting first hand on the ball wasn't even a pass mark, only apologists believe it has any real value!

Maybe Warnock is starting to realise the tap is just like reading the menu, the rest of the meal is what really counts!

Today the scribes are out bagging Nic Nat about taking one mark in three weeks. They are also bagging Dean Cox saying he is horribly out of form, Cox has 28 marks this season! Contrast that with Warnock, who took 4 marks against Melbourne(3 UM, 1CM) and only 1(UM) in eight quarters since. Despite being much much better in recent weeks, he has taken exactly 1 mark in the last two games, season total is 7(6 UM, 1 CM) marks.

The scribes are right in bagging Nic Nat and Cox, and Warnock's 7 marks from a 206cm bloke in 5 games isn't good enough by some margin!

Don't get carried away!

Warnock, Murph Rowe.

Warnock - grilled Nic nat and cox in the contests, supported our mids well.
Murph - Stood out, and lead from the front when it mattered.
Rowe - Did his job and more, disposal needs work, but for a guy who isn't a natural defender did well against the likes of Kennedy and darling.
