AFL Rd 4: Carlton vs Fremantle in Adelaide
Rating: B
I gave us a B because we won against the odds, but I can’t remember a time where we allowed our opponents to play their game so much and still won. Really, we had a lot of contributors, but very few winners on the day, we were smashed in the clearances and we still won.

[0.5] Jack Carroll

[0.5] Mitch McGovern
Explanations:
[3] Jacob Weitering: Not just clearly our best player, but an impassable wall in defence. Absolutely destroyed his opponents.
[1.5] Brodie Kemp: Made a few errors, but did his job and took a lot of marks in defence. A really solid game.
[1.5] Adam Saad: Got a lot of the ball, but was less effective as an attacker than normal. His defensive work was brilliant.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: A big effort from the Captain, and our best mid on the day.
[1.5] Charlie Curnow: A patchy effort from Charlie, but after half time he won hos position and made things happen.
[1] Tom de Koning: Like Charlie, Tom was patchy. He had some really good periods in the 3rd quarter where he really dominated and he took some important marks.
[1] Adam Cerra: A solid effort, but not his best.
[1] Matthew Cottrell: Didn’t see a lot of ball, but he stood up when he was required.
[1] George Hewett: Like Cerra, George was solid and won most of our clearances, but he probably lowered his colours.
[0.5] Jack Carroll: Again, he was a solid contributor, but he was probably beaten on the day.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Not as damaging as he can be, but he ruled his position.
[0.5] Blake Acres: Solid
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Did his job well.
Honourable Mentions:
Jordan Boyd: Like the other defenders, Jordan beat his man.
Matthew Kennedy: Not a huge game, but he stood up when required.
Zac Williams: Beat his opponents and provided some important moments.
