AFL Rd 21: Carlton vs St Kilda
Our first half was ordinary, but after half time, we were excellent.
Team: A
I was tempted to give a B+, but that second half, allowing only 1 goal against us, was the sort of footy we really want to play.

[0.5] Jesse Motlop
[0.5] Jack Martin
[0.5] Brodie Kemp
[0.5] Alex Cincotta
Explanations:
[2.5] Nic Newman: What a game from defence. Going at about 90%, he had 35 possessions, 13 marks, and 4 clearances from deep defence.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Not as huge as he can be, but 11 clearances says all that need be known.
[1.5] Zac Fisher: One of Fisher’s best ever games. 32 possessions from defence.
[1.5] Blake Acres: A really solid game with some huge moments. His defensive marking and his goals were special.
[1] Sam Docherty: Another Doc game: keeps getting the ball and putting huge pressure on.
[1] Jacob Weitering: Dominated the key defensive post.
[1] Paddy Dow: A little quiet early, but his second half was huge. His goal to get us in front was excellent.
[1] Oliver Hollands: Ordinary early, Ollie really lifted and provided huge drive and effort.
[1] George Hewett: A solid Hewett game
[1] Tom de Koning: Very ordinary early, Tom really lifted after half time and was instrumental in our clearances in the second half. His goal wasn’t half bad either.
[0.5] Jesse Motlop: Not a huge game, but a couple of very good goals. Always dangerous.
[0.5] Jack Martin: Like Motlop, Martin didn’t have a huge game, but he put in well and was instrumental in a number of our scoring oppotunities.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: Dow a bit early, he lifted and provided great drive from defence.
[0.5] Alex Cincotta: A real desperado, Alex’s efforts really made a difference.
Honourable Mentions:
Marc Pittonet: Like Tom de Koning, Marc was ordinary early, but he really lifted and started taking marks and providing drive.
David Cuningham: Not his greatest game, but a solid one.
Adam Saad: More defensive than is often the case, Saad really controlled his opponents.
Matt Owies: Always dangerous.
Charlie Curnow: Two or three timed for most of the game, but his possessions were lethal and made goals for us.
Matt Cottrell: Solid contribution
