3. Swan
2. Pendlebury
1. The rest of the side deserve this, but for a career high 26 possessions as a key forward I'll give it to Dawes.

Pendles and Swanny can raffle it, as can Trav and Dawesy.

3: Pendlebury. In two years, this guy will be the best player in the game.
2: Swan. 40 possessions says it all.
1: Harry O. Loved his drive off the halfback line.
Apologies to Trav, Dawesome, Beams, Heater, Ball (who is a monster in the packs), TOOOOOOOVES!!!!, heck, everyone else

There are quite a few posts that name unexpected players in the top 3 - and so there should be, for there were a good six or ten stand-out performers, and the other dozen were by no means disgraced. Me, I'm going to go for:
3: Pendlebury - I often don't quite see Pendles in the same way as his many fans do, and I regularly rate him a bit lower than the average Nickster, but this was a stand-out performance. I haven't seen such class and effortless poise, not to mention such creative and damaging disposal, since the great James Hird retired. Absolutely superb game.
2: Cloke. Dawes was great, but Cloke's bone-crushing marking, committed and effective ground play, tireless running, and above all perfect conversion earned him two. Top effort, big man!
1: Swan. Just an ordinary day at the office. Just another lazy 40 possessions. Just another swag of hard ball gets and effective, creative disposals.
Stiff: Dawes, Harry, Blair, Jolly, Reid.

I'm not a big Cloke fan Tannin, but his game on Saturday may just turn out to be the turning point. He has been promising to be this good for a while, and whilst his efforts in 09 and 10 were OK, they were a bit below what we had hoped for.
On Saturday he crashed packs, took every mark possible, showed desperation in his chasing, harassing and tackling and kicked straight.
Dawes was wonderful too.
It would be nice to see him kick ten this week

After the epic draw comes the decisive knockout!
Collingwood rules the world again and Mick Malthouse fulfils his destiny with the twenty ten premiership and can you hear the people sing!

Absolutely Neil! I'm the same as you - well, a bit of a Cloke knocker, if truth be told. He still has that terrible kicking action though, so next week he could bag 0.5 and two OOF. But you have to take 5.0 any way you get it.Neil Appleby wrote:I'm not a big Cloke fan Tannin, but his game on Saturday may just turn out to be the turning point.

Note, however, the North backline - undersized and inexperienced. Cloke and Dawes just made it look like men vs boys. It will be interesting to see what our big men can do against a real quality defence. I reckon this hitout against what amounts to a better-than-average reserves defence will give them great form and confidence when the time comes to take on a Glass or a Lake.
