Tomlinson. Wow. He disappeared for most of the night. 6 kicks. 

Did the job on Hogan though.

    Hogan had a shocker. He fumbled about 7-8 marks and slipped over many times and gave away the ill disciplined 50 penalty.  Not great conditions but others did mark the footy ok. Hogan only had one good moment in the last minute.  Tomlinson was not terrible but had no influence or sight on the game.

    Having watched the game at length now, I'm happy to go with:

    6 Rivers - yes he's a kid but he really tried to take us forward all night. If only he converted his two shots. 

    5 Gawn - Yes he was involved in two of their goals but still a massive presence which we all tend to underrate.

    4 Viney - our hardest worker, but like his midfield colleagues missed targets so his intensity, not his influence, gets him these votes.

    3 Fritsch - our cleanest marker on the night and hit more targets than others.

    2 May - how many did Taberner kick? Our three talls down back kept their three forwards goalless.  May did more offense work than Lever and Tommo, hence his votes.

    1 Petracca - brilliant third term but unlike his hot spell mid-season, struggled to be clean with his disposal in the conditions.

    6. Gawn - again comprehensively beat his opponents, some big marks on a terrible night for marking.

    5. Viney - an excellent effort, with some effectiveness.

    4. Rivers - a steady and sometimes brilliant game. A big future for this lad.

    3. Fritsch - wish he went a bit harder but he is a genuine talent.

    2. May - although not up to his recent high standards he did his job and kept the Freo key forwards quiet.

    1. Petracca - toiled hard and kept himself in the game.

    I have re watched the game and Gawn made a couple of bad blues but he is held up to such a high standard.  If any other ruck in the league played that game in those conditions they'd be lauded.  Against a couple of decent opponents too. Very impressed with Rivers.  I think he beats out Jackson and Pickett as our best first year player.
