I thought he had a good game, there were quite a few times where he popped up and got a contested possession in the midfield. I'm not sure if he had a score assist as well? I was happy with his game though.
Resolute after the siren too, it should be said.

I suppose we all see things through a different prism. If you look at his game in terms of the games of others, he does not come out so good. If you look at his game in terms of what he has produced in the past, then his game seems a bit better.
He definitely plays better in the second half of a game. His distinct lack of pace is less relevant when everyone else is running slower.

Mini has a different role to those who acculate the stats. His selfless acts are commendable. Yes he's a bit slow at times but generally doesnt turn the ball over as easily as some of our more "favourite suns". I'll name thyese guys later if you want but it wont really serve any purpose.
He should definitely stay for next week.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Mini is the ultimate role playing footballer, no-one notices him most weeks but he keeps getting selected and there's a good reason. Mini's games shouldn't be judged via opinion or stats that champion data supply, keep your eye on him for a while just behind the play. Saints footy has been the catch cry this year and Mini does it week in week out.

Without fail. People only shut up last year when he started to put up some impressive stats.
There's no doubt he hasn't been as prominent this year, but he always chases, pressures, tackles and is pretty smart with the ball. I reckon he's a positive most weeks when he hasn't had a lot of the ball.
Yeah nah pleasing positive
