AFL 2026 Elimination Final Carlton vs Geelong
Team: C

[2] George Hewett: 27 disposals, 11 tackles and 7 clearances says how effective George was.

[1.5] Billy Wilson: Excellent in defence. Lots of ball and great run from defence.
[1] Marc Pittonet: Not as dominant as we might have hoped for, but Pitto was still a warrior. 5 clearances and 13 possessions was a good return.
[1] Ollie Florent: Not as dominant as he can be, be, like Wilson, he really showed great run and carry from defence.
[0.5] Cooper Lord: Lord not only did a good job defensively, but he managed 2 goals.
[0.5] Ollie Hollands: Tried his guts out.19 possessions and 6 tackles.
[0.5] Jacob Weitering: Did his job well.

[0.5] Adam Cerra: Did his job well.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: Not a lot of ball, but was dangerous and kicked 2 goals.
Honourable Mentions:
Lachie Cowan: Did his job as well as he could. Just couldn’t stop Dangerfield. ☹
Ben Ainsworth: Not as dominant as he has been, but still good.
Harry McKay: Starved after half time.
I have left this thread open in hope that more people might want to vote, but ...
