Marc Murphy
Recorded 12 Disposals in the second half, didn’t really get out of second gear, quiet but solid pre-season.
Kade Simpson
Was the spare loose in defence, when the game was up from grabs he was the one in the backline to generate run & options, very solid.
Patrick Cripps
Solid game in the midfield, recorded 24 Disposals & 2 Goals, set for a huge season especially with his clearance work an less players to contend with at centre bounces.
Sam Walsh
Kept working throughout the game, worked his way through traffic with ease and excellent vision, recorded 23 Disposals.
Sam Petrevski-Seton
Played through the middle of the ground and out wide when required, recorded 23 Disposals from 82% game time.
Zac Fisher
Did find it a little tougher against quality Mids, still recorded 20 Disposals from 72% game time.
Will Setterfield
Played a bit through the middle of the ground, was on the wrong end of a few tough contests, will settle in nicely at the Blues.
Michael Gibbons
Was very quiet early but tough to find space as a small forward on this ground (similar to Jamie Elliot), recorded 6 Disposals, 5 Tackles & 1 Goal.
Nic Newman
Played in defence, wasn’t really part of any defence switch but the Blues didn’t really opt for that game style. slow day, limited opportunities, 10 Disposals & 2 Marks.
