SpecialK, speaks for himself, ruck, marks, tackles if he'd kicked that goal it would have been as good as it gets.
Simpson, held thing together.
Henderson, not much ball but pretty much all quality.
Curnow, perhaps his best game for the club.
Jamison, our smashed mids meant Petrie the monster had plenty of opportunity yet Jammo found ways to stop him 3 out of 4 times.

I wasn't super - impressed, but we did win against a side who usually beats us at a venue that hasn't suited us. I am pleased, as we have played fairly ordinarily against North in recent times.
Votes:
[3] Simpson
[2.5] Kreuzer
[2] Henderson
[1.5] Tuohy
[1] Walker
[1] Carrazzo
[1] Murphy
[1] Garlett
[1] Curnow
[0.5] Garlett
[0.5] Jamison
Explanations:
[3] Simpson: Simmo's best game of the season to date and an excellent one it was. He not only got possessions, he beat his man in one on one contests, managed to clean up across defence and show a lot of endeavour and courage in the way he approached the ball. Very pleasing.
[2.5] Kreuzer: Not as good in the ruck, but he did control the North ruckmen (who usually pound us). His work around the ground and at the stoppages was excellent. He took some excellent marks and was the most effective big man on the ground. Pity about his kicking at goal....
[2] Henderson: An excellent target up forward, especially early.
[1.5] Tuohy: Took on the North small forwards and did well. Managed 2 goals going the other way, which was excellent.
[1] Walker: Lots of the ball, but not as good at quietening his opponents as he can be.
[1] Carrazzo: Good job in the middle controlling the North mids. Not yet at his best, but steadily improving.
[1] Murphy: Not as much of the ball as he (and I) would like, but his effectiveness once he got it was excellent. His tackling was brilliant: North didn't respect him and he managed frees and goals because he really put in.
[1] Garlett: Not a heap of the ball, but very effective with it and always dangerous. His goals were telling.
[1] Curnow: Very good at minimizing the effects of the North midfield. His goals were invaluable.
[0.5] Yarran: Not his biggest night, but he did some really good team things: including 8 tackles. he also took 2 excellent marks by really putting his body in. Not 100%, but a significant improvement.
[0.5] Jamison: Not at his best either, but he did control Petrie well.
Honourable Mentions:
Judd: Like Murphy and Yarran, his possessions were more telling by their results than by their number, except his kicking for goal, which remains ordinary.
Gibbs: Worked hard and did a negative job well, but his kicking was well off and his confidence appeared to be down.
Lucas: OK. Not as timid as he can be.
Watson: After a very quiet start, he managed to get on top of his man and provided some drive when it was really needed.
