It was an impressive day at Etihad for the 1st time this year.
Remember:

[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.

I'll put my 2 cents worth in tomorrow. In the mean time, enjoy!
Tough week with a pretty even contribution.

Honourable mentions to Simpson and Henderson that missed some votes. Holman played a great first time game. I hope to see more of him at AFL level. Curnow wasn't bad and neither was White, Rowe or Yarran. How balanced is a side that we give votes to so many players ? Cripps did excellent considering he had a tagger like Judd has had for years. I hope he learns how to shake that tag. ;)

Bit stiff on Kruezer, Tuohy who also made solid contributions.

I know I’ve rated this win below last week’s, but I think the opposition wasn’t quite as fierce this time around. Still, it was an excellent effort and one I am happy with. It is also the first time all year we have totally dominated the ruck.
Votes:
My usual caveat for a good win: these votes are severely deflated. Every single mention deserves about double what they are going to get. But 15 votes are all that is available.
[2.5] Bell

[0.5] Curnow

Explanations:
[2.5] Bell: Tom had a great game, all except his kicking at goal. lLove his strength and attack on the ball.
[2] Murphy: Another excellent game.
[1.5] Tuohy: His best game for some time. He ran down field excellently and was really dangerous.
[1.5] Kreuzer: His best game in years. Dominated in the ruck and got possessions around the ground.
[1.5] Wood: Like Kreuzer, he really did well in the ruck and managed clearances as well.
[1] Graham: With Cripps being quieter this week, Graham stepped up and did a fine job.
[1] Docherty: Very solid in defence.
[1] Cripps: A solid tag with some questionable tactics, but Cripps still got it 20 times. Would have been even better if his kicking for goal was on target.
[1] Armfield: Dynamic!
[0.5] Curnow: Very solid in the midfield.
[0.5] Buckley: Kept his man quiet and provided some nice dash from defence.
[0.5] Carrazzo: Very solid in the middle.
[0.5] Everitt: Playing more consistently at the moment. Could have been much better if he had kicked straight.
Honourable Mentions:
Simpson: Had Simmo not kicked so poorly, he would have had votes. Unfortunately his disposal was way off the mark this week.
White: Very solid in defence, especially considering the difference in size between his and his opponents.
Yarran: Definitely vote worthy. How did he miss out?
Ellard: His best senior game for ages, because he spent time on the ball. He managed to do a good negative job and still get in the action.
Henderson: Worked very hard.
Casboult: Looked like having the game of his life for a while, but fell out of the game at times. His marking was excellent.
