Credit to McEvoy
Ben McEvoy was rubbished and written off in the press all week. According to anyone you spoke to, he was too young, got beaten by Mumford last time and should have been dropped or subbed in favour of Gardiner ...
Last night at half time the hitout stats were Mumford 15 and McEvoy 14 hitouts.
By the end of the game, Mumford had snuck ahead in the hitouts (finished 30 to 20), but that was due in large part to the final quarter when he got on top of McEvoy and our entire midfield was smashed.
McEvoy took 6 marks, of which 5 were contested. He saved a couple of deep Sydney entries with some huge grabs, and I thought he had more of an influence than Mumford around the ground.
So kudos to Ben.
He defied his critics and produced a good game under pressure and really stood up for us in a final when we needed him.

Will prove to be one of our better picks. Kruezer went at No.1 but I think Big Ben is up there with him.thejiggingsaint wrote:Mark my words this boy is a FUTURE ALL-AUSTRALIAN and club captain!!!!

Outstanding year from Ben and was very good again last night. Easily our best early and if a few others had started like him then who knows? Modern football doesnt allow you to pick 2 genuine rucks unless they pick themselves Ie Cox and Natinui. This actually seems to have benefitted the likes of Mac Goldstein and mummy who seem to love the responsibility of the number 1 spot!
Top 5 in the B&F IMO

I've been delighted with him throughout most of the season. He's got some bloody good hands on him also. He's taken some terrific grabs this season. Good one Benny!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
