Who were our top 6 players in the GF?
« on: October 01, 2017, 10:24:25 AM »
Really tough to do but I'll give it a crack.....


1. Dustin Martin. Provided the x-Factor around the contests and playing fwd, team first effort. 28 high quality disposals and 2 goals.

2. Alex Rance - Towelled up Walker. Absolutely rock solid in defence which set the tone and context for the rest of the team  to confidently play there game and and apply there attacking skills. Would have been a completely different game without him.

3. Jack Graham - destroyed the usually elite  Sloane  tagging him out u of the game after half way through the second quarter and kicked 3.0goals. Amassed a number of tackles as well as  16 damaging touches. All from a 5-gamer!

4. Houli - was shaky early  with some poor decisions costing us which for mine cost him being in my top 3, but was brilliant after. Unleashed himself across half back and the centre. 23 disposals, 5 tackles and a goal.

5. Prestia. Was just always at the contest and used his awareness and toughness to bring others in the play.  25  quality touches, 3 tackles and a goal.

6. Riewoldt. Convincingly beat Talia and friends with contested Mark after contested mark.  6 marks in total, 6 tackles and 2 goals.

Apologies to many.

Edwards was very good and Grimes was outstanding. Broad played his best game for the club.

Edwards was huge in the second. We needed some spark and he started getting his hands on it. Then I looked at the board and noticed he had 10 clearances. Flossy was massive after a couple wobbly moments in the first too. Grimes nullified Betts. How can you decide?!

In order:
Houli
Rance
Martin
Lambert
Edwards
Graham

But very hard to pick as it was such an even performance.

Reckon if Houli kicks those goals, he gets it. Martin in everything, Rance dominated down back, all worthy as were others.

Totally agree, but if anyone of those players didn't play or got injured early, just about any other Tiger would have been able to be seen as filling the void.
Every player contributed, greatest Grannie I've ever seen.  :thumbsup
The third quarter, the premiership quarter, it's Dusty time. He starts to shine and then delivers in the most AWESOME fashion.

Cotch was everywhere but nowhere, i feel he played an integral part and threw himself at it relentlessly but not mentioned in our top 6 by anyone...

Slid under the radar this game as he probably didn't affect the contest the way he has previous 2 games but was equally as important and played a good game
