SEN player ratingsDavid ASTBURY – 4
Took White and had a generally hard night chasing the in-form Magpie. Stuck to his guns.
Dan BUTLER – 3
Eight disposals and a goal, the odd good moment, but things didn’t fall his way quite as they did in Round 1.
Josh CADDY – 5
Played forward a fair bit where he was a presence but managed only one goal. Fair night at the office.
Jason CASTAGNA – 3
Pressure forward bobbed up occasionally but didn’t trouble the scoreboard attendant.
Reece CONCA – 6
Steady game (18 disposals) and stood his strong body under some high balls in defence.
Trent COTCHIN – 8
Tigers’ leading disposal winner (26) and topped hard-edged game with two goals. Last 10 minutes superb.
Shane EDWARDS – 6
Created problems early up forward despite misses; sharked a well-read goal at a stoppage and made a crucial third-quarter intercept.
Brandon ELLIS – 5
Freak snapshot in third term to trigger a momentum swing. Otherwise quiet off a wing.
Ben GRIFFITHS – 2
Speccy in second term but head hit ground after a similar attempt in third. Pretty much summed up his night.
Shaun GRIGG – 5
Unusually unproductive until managed some crucial touches including lovely goal in final term.
Dylan GRIMES – 4
On Fasolo and although barely touched the ball probably took the honours due to the Magpie’s shocking finishing.
Bachar HOULI – 6
Slow start but wound up having a good night charging off half back; even managed a goal pushing forward late.
Kane LAMBERT – 3
Came off the bench to get involved with a dozen disposals forward of centre. Will it be enough to hold his place?
Ben LENNON – 5
Only six kicks and three tackles but seemed more involved than that. Lively at half forward.
Dustin MARTIN – 7
Wearing a shiner after early head clash. Kept in check but his possessions were telling and two late goals buried the Pies.
Toby NANKERVIS – 7
Gave Grundy something to think about, especially with his marking around ground. Tigers have a good one here.
Dion PRESTIA – 5
Puts himself in all the right places, although he often kicked under pressure and missed targets.
Alex RANCE – 6
Good duel with Moore, who he found slippery, but still a strong contributor.
Jack RIEWOLDT – 5
Thrown into the midfield after invisible first half which got him going. Two goals were important to the comeback.
Daniel RIOLI – 5
Worked hard between the 50-metre lines. Pace was a factor – this guy is becoming a player.
Jayden SHORT – 6
Returned in the back pocket, picked up Broomhead and won the contest after conceding some early touches.
Nick VLASTUIN – 5
Lined up on Mayne and had the edge. Went hard at every contest from half back.
