Votes v Dons
So so frustrating and , in a macabre way, inevitable. We always seem to find a way.
5. Seb Ross. Superb early and still running hard at the end.
4. Rowan Marshall. Contested strongly against two ruckmen.
3. Jack Sinclair. Coming back into form.
2. Jack Steele. Big heart.
1. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. Quite early , but worked his way into it. Lovely ball-user.

4-Steele
3-Sinclair
2- Battle
1-Higgins
Give them an absolute bake cuddly Ross

The captain was enormous. 3 direct goal assists.
Jack Steele's tackling today was brilliant. His disposal and decision making was elite (apart from a couple of late blemishes) Spent over 99% of game time on the ground.

Bonner
Higgins
I know Bonner stuffed up a number of times. (Like everyone else, I'm not convinced he's a reliable enough defender.)
But he had almost twice as many kicks as anyone else, and he picked up more than a kilometre's worth of metres gained.
I don't recall a St Kilda player ever getting near that (since they started measuring it) It may only have happen once or twice in history.
That's got to count for something.

First of all he is a receiver. Not hard to gather disposal numbers running past your team mates. I reckon 6-7 touches where they are not required ( the guy handballing to him could have just kicked it himself)
He's supposed to be a good kick, so his team mates honour his run and give it to him. He gets uncontested possessions so he's required to use it effectively. He didn't!
Secondly he steps over the line and kicks out after a behind is scored, so there's probably 7-8 kicks that anyone could do. No effort...PLUS...once again he's required to use it effectively. He didn't!
Take out 5 useless receives, take out 5 useless kick outs, and take out half a dozen clangers and he's an average contributor. If you also factor in the times he's supposed to defend or hold up the ball and he just refuses to put his head over it, he's a liability overall

Sinclair & Bonner's turnovers were critical & cost them any chance of votes. NWM nearly but sadly got shut out when we really needed him - he, Marshall & King are our most important assets. Just wish we had a genuine forward / ruck ready to go.

Re: Votes v Dons
I'm curious about the love for Marshall's game? 1st quarter was sensational. But we were SLAUGHTERED in the ruck and as the game wore on their big men just took over the game. Roma got caught completely unaware in the last quarter when he was clear and could have driven it deep fwd. In the 3rd quarter he marked 40m out, 45 degree angle and tried a ridiculous screw kick. I'm sorry but he was poor for mine and was beaten badly.

Ohhhhh sorry. You're talking about his footy and the fact that Naicos is a receiver and also possibly not getting any contested footy.
Naicos's first year is better than Riley's 3rd. I picked his 3rd because it was the first season where Riley got regular games
Clangers are the same but Nick is far superior in most metrics. Look at metrs gained. Look at inside 50s. DE. And look at contested possessions
