3. Travis Cloke...most dangerous forward in the game yesterday, and that includes Robertson because Cloke didnt get ONE goal from a soft or missed free kick...Robbo got 3. Trav also played on an experienced defender (and two).
2. Heath Shaw...well if it wasnt for Heath Shaw's performance, we would have lost by 10 goals. He was a lynchpin in defence, constantly mopping up the sloppy work of others, only his third year but he is one of our most important players.
1. Brodie Holland - Best game of the year for the Brodie, he was hard at the footy, ran hard (actually looked pretty quick too), found space and won the footy. Was thinking he was starting to look in need of a rotation with Licca, but no, Dutchy has bought himself some more time with that game. We forget he hasnt played footy in months before his return a couple of weeks ago.
Ben Johnson also played an incredible game, unlucky to miss the votes.
And Goldsack, well he may not be polling any votes, but as someone said (franki? was it you?) He came of age yesterday. Took a huge step forward in his application, decision making and movement on the field. Uses his body, and looks like he can provide run off half back.
If he can keep developing, he well develop into a taller version of Heath Shaw. Both love the physical contest (but heath is a bit more solid at this stage). But important for Goldsack to keep working on his 1-on-1 defensive work, as his height will allow him to hold down a key position quite comfortably in times of need (like yesterday).
