Jones had a good game but he was far from the most influential player on the ground.  Gawn was outstanding all night and was the single biggest difference between the teams.  We are incredibly fortunate to have a player like him.  I am 50 this year and I don't recall a more dominant ruckman since Simon Madden - and that includes Dean Cox who I rate incredibly highly.  His ability to collect ground ball is remarkable for a man of his size.  He really is one of a kind.

Based on influence on the result:

6. Gawn

5. Petracca

4. Oliver

3. Jones

2. Salem

1. Fritsch

I really like Hunt forward as well.  His tackling and chasing created plenty of scoring opportunities.

5. Oliver

4. Jones

3. Hore

2. Hunt

1. Viney (While Viney didn't get a heap of the ball, his in-and-under work and relentless pressure helped immensely those who did.)

Honourable mentions to Salem, Harmes and Melksham.

Special mention to Weidemann who did some great things. That tackle on Heaney was super and hopefully some of the others who were standing around at the time spectating a metre or two away when he made that tackle learn from him.

I tossed up between Melksham and Hunt and decided on Hunt to reward his pressure over Melksham's creativity. Could easily have gone the other way but I was probably more aware of our lack of forward pressure in the first three rounds and weighted that aspect more heavily.

6.  The Jones boy

5.  Big M

4.  Clarry

3.  Trac (Was on from the get go.  Keep it up son!)

2.  Fritschkreig

1.  Salem

HMs:  Milkshake (Classy game with few possessions.  Finding space, cool in a crisis, great decision making including PATIENCE and knowing when to go / not to go. Hitting up targets coming i50....keep playing him just outside the arc and pushing up to the middle pls!

Special mention to Frosty (In the past 5 years Buddy was the difference and always managed to put us to the sword.....great job Frosty keeping the big man to 1.3... not a fabulous game outside of that but did what was asked and helped us to get over the Swans for the first time anywhere since 2010 and 2006 at the SCG)

Hunt (might be his position from here!) Gus, Hore (very solid!), Viney, Pruess (was up and going early along with Trac.. great energy,  attack on the pill early and foil for Maxy as well as rucking up forward allowing Maxy to roll back and set up the wall....can only get better with tank/match fitness).

I don’t think Salem was given nearly enough credit for his game on Thursday night.
