Thought Brewster did better than expected – he battled well (one challenge to get to a ball forward first half that looked more a 30-70 that he somehow slid to cleanly make his own and keep the attack going), and big miss aside took his efforts cleanly. He also looked quicker than he has for a long time – on the big 1 on 1 he does well to stay ahead of the defender as long as he does. McBurnie played in from the same position probably has to look for a pass about halfway to goal on the same path as he’d be caught – he actually looked like a player that was causing problems with his speed, and it’s encouraging that this player still exists.
Anel made a two or three rampaging runs deep into the opposition's territory. He's barely done that this season. More like the Anel of last season. It was a big plus to see it. He made some last gasp clearances too. Worth an extra mark. Robbo has been decent this season but subpar the past two games. Trusty played well. Agree about Norwood. I groaned when I saw him on the team sheet. But he was decent. He didn't give the ball away and didn't get caught in possession.

Thanks, Riley.
I'd say pretty much spot on!
