Down back, I had Crook as a mix of wins and losses today, but definitely on the plus side overall. Julian was the most overt key defender today.
McIntosh made most of the players out there look silly today: so many clean grabs and quick moves on a wet ground. Tierney did much of her work outside fifty – continually provided linking options. Davies and Manfre were the quietest of the six forwards (do I need to mention the other two who tallied up a half-dozen more goals?) but geez right now it must suck defending against us. There are a lot of tricksters and good leads in that group.
Her disposal may sometimes be ugly, but Marianna Anthony has gone totally under the radar this year in our midfield. Leads our kicks and tackles.
Doonan slotted in pretty effortlessly, and every week Radford is making people wonder more how she plodded along un-noticed at Moonee Valley all these years.
Like last week, not everything went our way. That makes the final score all the better… the eternal pressure all over the ground to break the chain of any opposition attack is bloody awesome.
