6 - Chip Frawley - some game up forward, 14 marks and a couple of goals

5 - Nathan Jones - a captain to truly be proud of, completely pantsing the opposition's skipper

4 - Daniel Cross - what a great pick up, especially for our list, every single player should take a leaf out of his book

3 - Jake 'The Snake' Spencer - killed Warnock and threw himself about (as usual but to great effect today)

2 - Chris Dawes - even if statistically he didn't have a great day, I am not sure we win that game if he isn't playing

1 - Jack Viney - love the way he throws himself in, and burst away from a couple of packs with great effect

Most were great today, maybe Vince and Tyson (who was tagged) were down, but that can only be a good thing that two of our more consistent performers had quiet days and we still got up reasonably comfortably

This was actually difficult to do which hasn't been the case in a long time, some who missed out are very unlucky namely Matt Jones, Dunn, Grimes, Bail & TMac

Had almost 22 classy performers today - very hard to split the votes

4 Grimes

3 Viney

2 M Jones

1 Bail (best game of his career)

Also super impressed with Dunn (am starting to think he's one of our top 5 players on the list), McDonald, JKH, Kent (he's everything Tapscott can do, but better), and Dawes.

I rhink you might be forgetting Ro Bail's amazing game against Sydney in 2010 or 2011, but it was a very good game.

Big ticks to Dawes, Spencer, Bail, Dunny and Matt Jones also

6 - Frawley: masterstroke from Roos to switch him forward.

5 - Jones: completely pantsed Murphy. Bullet-like kicks. Is he officially 'elite'? Pretty close.

4 - Grimes: was starting to have doubts. Immense today.

3 - Viney: absolute gun. Extra points for his smart-alec bum tap to Warnock after Bail goal.

2 - Bail: speaking of that guy, he really proved a few wrong today (including me)

1 - McDonald (really good defensively as always and minimised errors by foot)

Apologies, Spencer, Cross (one of the recruits of the year), Dawes (worth every cent!) Matt Jones, and a few others.

Well done Sylvia - very good assessment and you were first in with the comments which shows you are not just following everyone else's lead.

Today was actually the first time I've thought Jonesy was elite - I know he's courageous and all that and yes he's one two B&Fs, but I've never really felt he was special - just a really hard nut.

But today I thought he was a genuine star of the game with his evasion and vision and run a bit Ablettesque - really looking forward to see if he gets Gaz next week.

My six is identical with yours, except I felt Cross was on a par with your bottom three - ie: Viney, Bail and Tom Mc.

Had 9 players I genuinely wanted to give votes to. I love it when it's hard for this reason.

6. Nathan Jones - exceptional game. I've come to expect nothing less. Seems to find a new gear every season. Pantsed Murphy.

5. James Frawley - absolutely huge as the CHF. Incredible game. I think he surprised himself on a few occasions when he found himself on the end of the ball when not expecting to and spilled a few marks. Who knew he had this in him?

4. Jack Grimes - was in everything.

3. Tom McDonald - has turned in to a super-reliable key defender. He's so quick and uses his body well; I'm at the point now where I'll trust him to win or at least neutralise most 1 on 1s. No real mistakes with the ball in hand today either.

2. Daniel Cross - I always knew what he was like as a player, but now that I'm able to watch him more closely than I ever did when he was at Footscray, I can't believe they got rid of him. A player who just wills himself to be first on the ball. Love it.

1. Matt Jones - for the ceaseless run two-way run. I don't reckon there is a player in our team who runs as hard "the other way". Not a polished user of the ball, but I expect the coach loves him.

Bail, Spencer and Viney were the other ones I didn't have room for.

Well done to JKH on his first full game too. He may play an important part in our forward line. I get the impression he sleeps facing the goals. He always seems to know where they are

6- Jones... super consistent and deserved this win more than anybody else.

5- Frawley... dominated up forward

4- Spencer... by far the best game I've seen him play. He doesn't take [censored] from anyone

3- Bail... ran all day and kicked a couple of important goals.

2- Viney... provided some crucial grunt in the middle at key stages in the game. Not afraid to take the game on.

1- McDonald... He's getting better every week.

Many honourable mentions too: Grimes, M Jones, Cross just to name a few.

It's so nice to have too many good players to pick from, for once.

Re-watched the match and had to put Bail in there. By far the best match I've seen him play.

It takes a lot to keep a good man down and Nathan Jones and bounced back to re-take the lead after round 4. This is the progressive scoreboard (Rounds 1 to 4 inclusive):-

I agree with these and I thought it was a rwally even contribution across the board. Would be really diffixult to come up with a bottom 6.
