Cannot understand the love for Minsons game, thought the lack of respect he showed his opponent (especially early) cost us big time.

Minson 48 hit outs, 7 clearances (2nd most on ground behind Libba, 2 goal assists, and 3 tackles, 4 1%ers.
He certainly looked to me the dominant force on the ground at ruck contests, giving us consistent first use of the ball, especially early on.

4. Minson - just so dominant at the hitouts, no-one else won their position so convincingly
3. Liberatore - the icon of our contested style, 11 tackles today
2. Dahlhaus - the only one who looked dangerous up forward today, leading goal scorer
1. Cooney - great to see him get involved in the play, with great runs and ball use

You forgot to mention he had 7 clangers and 1 mark. Griffin had 6 marks on the other hand, many when Minson wasnt willing to work hard enough to contest, hence my criticism.

We must of been watching a different game if you think he gave us consistent first use of the ball.

Agree. He struggled to even give us a contest around the ground at times, especially in the first half when Griffiths was all over him. 1 Mark for the entire game is extremely poor and his double fister out of bounds late in the game when he was the only player in position to mark shows a player who knows he's struggled.

The hitout has to be the most overrated stat in football alongside the number of coin tosses won.

4. Liberatore: Just kept going, and very impressive around the stoppages. Smart user of the footy.
3. Cooney: Finally has his dash back, and I thought he was very impressive off half back. Crowd was very quiet however, no "coo's"
2. Minson: Very good in the ruck, and while Griffin was good around the ground, I'm not sure Minson did as much wrong as people seem to think.
1. Cross: Apart from that baffling bit where he didn't go the mark I thought he was good. Kept running all day, used the ball constructively and 2 goals is a good effort for the least naturally attacking midfielder in the competition.

2. Liberatore
1. Young: Was next in line for a vote, was solid in defence and i like his decision making, Seems to think through all his kicks.

He had 1 clanger according to AFL stats. He had 7 clearances.
We must have been watching different games if you have him down as 7 clangers.
Fair enough, you think he wasn't good today but no need to give the big fella 6 extra clangers!!

You have short-changed Tom Young in the James Award. He qualifies as a pup. Just 20 years old and only 10 games to his name.

Griffen was quite effective around the ground in the first half but the longer the game went, the more Minson monstered him in the ruck. Anyone who doesn't think Minson gave us first use of the ball is dellusional. If you listened to the after game interview with Barlow you would have heard him acknowledge Minson's dominance.

Yes as a raw stat. But he put it in the right areas a lot of the time. Ben Hudson used to struggle around the ground against mobile ruckmen too. But Will did want we want of a 1st ruckman, win the ruck tap and give our on ballers the best chance to win first possession. He also won his fair share of the ball at stoppages and gained 7 cleaances himself. He did his job well, even from the get go when Freo were putting scores on the board.
Repeatedly the commentators were saying how we are winning first use of the ball clearly, it's just that we are not doing anything constructive with it from there.

4. Cooney - got some dash back
3. Libba - outstanding
2. Cross - didn't stop running
1. Minson - dominated the ruck although I thought Griffin was better around the ground.

2. Libba
1. Dalhaus - We look better when he plays well.

Why Wallis? He got subbed off in the third quarter, did we remove the wrong man?

No, I don't think so, he looked knackered. Mainly for his composure and decision making in traffic and under pressure, something many lacked today.

As a sidebar, just looked at the stat sheet and Stevens had 13 possessions after being subbed on. In a quarter and a half. Human wrecking ball, will be a gem.

I couldn't give Minson a vote today. His stoppage work was exceptional but he was very poor around the ground - Griffin was a big factor in this area for Freo.

Agree Griffen did well around the ground.....mainly in the first half however. In the end, who had the most impact on the game.....Minson, Young or Dahlhaus? You know the answer.

A fine pick up. I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far.

My thoughts exactly - I give it a break even game for Will. He was beaten around the ground, and it hurt us.

I'm glad someone mentioned Lower. I couldn't fit him in to my votes, but he was bloody good again today. His concentration is terrific.

4. Libba - gun.
3. Cooney - so important for us. So good to see him running.
2. Dahlhaus - what a kid.
1. Young - I was impressed again. Doesn't seem to make many mistakes.

Some track watchers weren't that impressed with Young, pre-season, but it's his decision making and poise that sets him apart.
