Bell our best player IMO.
Everitt good first half and faded.
Buckley good first quarter and then flashed in and out.
Watson was beaten a few times but had a pretty good hit out.
Gibbs just a steady game.
Murphy a shocker. he's a worry of late.
Waite did nothing.
levi shwed glimpses.
Yarran lackadaisical but looked good when he got it.
McInness steady but not much else.
Curnow doesn't get it much but was full of run.
Graham got it a few times but nothing to get excited about tonight.
Menzell was a good pickup and had a pretty good game, especially early.
Cripps had a bit of it.
Ellard is always thereabouts and will play footy this year because he gives it everything. If he were built like Gibbs.....
warnock got a lot of hand on the ball but his tapwork was not good consistently. Hadone kick I can remember.
Wood gives mpre than Warnock and based on tonight, I'd prefer him to Warnock.
Robbo had a Robbo game. got it a lot and had about 50% disposal efficiency but at least he gets it.
The tackling was a lot better than it has been but we still bomb it long.
All in all, it was a reasonable night but I wonder about the expense of going to Arizona for fitness when NM seemed to be fitter at the end.
Agree with most of that BS. For mine Graham was the biggest disappointment tonight from the kids. Didn't really get into to it and hurt with one awful turnover. Still have faith that he'll be a decent player for us, tonight just wasn't his night.
Tonight was all about the kids, really. Not many senior players had more than a minimal impact, except perhaps Brock.
