Geez, the boy Phillips can play 😉

It looks to me like we need WHE right to have any prospect of going all the way. Most goals, most goal assists, most marks inside 50. Fine season from a player who has previously struggled for consistency.

^He's been down recently too. Hope the week off gives him back his spring in his step

While he only appears in one of those categories (clearances 26), I think Sier is the one who is going to have a big impact in these finals.
He's played just 8 games, but to me, looks like the most natural player out there this last month.
He goes in hard, uses it well, tackles like a bull (is yet to give away a free kick too) and is cool under pressure.

I love this bloke!

How good is Treloar?
Missed 8 games but is still in our best for; Disposals, Clearances, Contested Possessions, Goals, Goal Assists, Tackles and Inside 50s.

Thanks for sharing those P4S
We've certainly had a few players excel this season
Sidey and Grundy are obvious standouts
But for mine we've had a very good spread of the work load across every line
Scharenberg who has missed a few weeks is still just about our best defender on those stats. He appears in nearly every category for defenders and is near top in each despite the games he's missed. If he had stayed on the paddock no doubts he would have been top of the charts for the defenders. But given he's only played about 25 games in his career to be so consistent across so many state shows why he was pick 6. Let's hope he can over come this latest setback and go on to play a couple hundred more games
If WHE finds form in the finals he appears our ace in the pack. He's been off a little of late but hopefully he comes into his own in September
Trelaor and Pendles have also had good seasons

Stephenson should be a unbackable favourite for the rising star
4 players named in the prelim AA squad could have been 6 if Treloar and Scharenberg hadn't been injured. Can't remember last time we had that many players in consideration

i was half expecting this to be a thinly veiled attempt at promoting discussion about your love child, the future collingwood captain.
