I got too high on excitement at us playing convincingly well and forgot to pay attention to individuals. Will vote once I've watched a replay, if I get the opportunity to watch one.

Worst 6. Struggling to find which is the first for a very long time. Toumpas needs 8 weeks at Casey for confidence and fitness.

[Toorak 108]

6. MacDonald

5. Lamumba

4. Newton

3. Watts

2. Garland

1. Garlett

I agree with you regarding Lumumba. He added some run to this team which had previously been missing.

Best game I've been to for years!

For me, these six guys stood up during periods where the game was up for grabs. Viney, unlucky as his aggression was fantastic. With improved offensive/decision-making, he would have been just about BOG.

Vandenberg, Cross, Newton and a couple of others a bees dick away and very unlucky.

Tom Mac and Viney the most influential players on the park for me.

Interesting that Brad Johnson had Howe as our best player and I suppose that makes him by default, the best player on the ground (in Brad's eyes) Howe hasn't attracted a lot of votes here.

I was also astonished to discover that Lumumba only had 12 possessions (only 6 more than the 27 minute player - Toumpas )

I had to have Lumumba in my best as I thought he was quite influential despite his low possession count.

6 - T-Mac

5 - Jones

4 - Watts

3 - Viney

2 - Howe

1 - Lumumba

Apologies to at least another 8 players (especially Garlett, Garland & Tyson)

Usually it's been difficult to find 6 players - I prefer this version of difficult.

[Deespicable 2,717]

6) Jason Taylor (Recognised the need for speed and added four quick guys - Garlett, Lumumba, vandenberg and Frost to the list and still kept the high pics and got a handy father/son).

5) Paul Roos (Got rid of the hard working but high turnover merchants and also decide to go small against a side that is skillful but tiny).

4) Simon Goodwin (If the mail is right that he has encouraged a more attacking style to balance Roosy's possession style lockdown game, then he had a major win).

3) Fitness/Physio/Medical team - Only two players missing through injury if we don't include Bernie who played full game in reserves.

2) Peter Jackson (got Roosy in first place and seems to have steered a dead ship into clear seas)

1) Robbie Flower (his spirit has carried us through and the Dom Tyson's goal was reminiscent of the magical way we used to get excited in 1987 when Robbie's final year sparked play that we normally could only dream of)

It is early days and there will be plenty of more physical sides to come that will upend us, but at least we look competitive.

6 - McDonald - it all came together

5 - Watts - it all came together

4 - Garlett - was dangerous, creative and very team focused

3 - Dunn - was a constant rock in defence

2 - Viney - some howlers but finally took first options , successfully

1 - Howe - clean skills and so valuable despite the limited preseason

Many deserving missed out - a very nice, and unfamiliar, dilemma
