Ross got 23 possies,
but I noticed at least half of them were ineffective- went to an eagle
or went to a contest and didn't go to advantage.
He really doesn't size up his options properly.
If he had the vision of Sinclair, he would make a massive difference.

Quantity is great, but Quality is far better.

Imagine a bricklayer laying bricks much quicker than his workmates, but they're laid a little crooked and messy

Yep Ross just needs to keep his head down when kicking and pick a target. Steven looking ordinary, and Stevens very slow by hand I noticed.

Ross is great. Just the last two weeks, in the last 10 minutes, he's blazed away going forward when we just need to hold posession... a handball of kick back to someone open.

Not at his best but went at 78% efficiency.

Much better team effort today. Ross was fine.

Thought Gresh was great - a touch of magic most times - and Brucey contested like a boss. Very good fwd pressure

Acres, Sinclair, Billings and Steele were awesome.

Acres 30 @ 80%

Steele 26 + 12 tackles

Billings 25 + 2 goals including the sealer

Sinclair 20 oozes class and I love when he's got the ball in his hands.

Did Acres play in the centre?

Yeah, pick on Ross, Wellard. Has been crap all year! Seriously?

You'll not both he and Sam Mitchell had 23 possies, both well down on their normal output. I am happy with that outcome, we all should be. Just like the final score.

Billings had 5 goal assists as well as his 2 goals. His goal assist to Acres was a fluke but the rest were quality

No, not once.

I thought Acres was at CHFwd at one stage in the last quarter.

I didn't say he's been rubbish all year.

Puzzling that this is the case. The guy's a ball magnet and has the skill set to do a lot of damage in there. He was in everything in the last quarter regardless.
