Ebert - Just phenomenal. Just like Robbie he seems to really enjoy Showdowns, is very consistent against the Crows and tonight was no different. Just a wonderful of work rate and a never say die attitude. When we were struggling through that 2nd quarter, it was Brad that was standing up and winning the contested ball in the middle. An absolute beast around the packs and would have been well deserved of the Showdown medal as well.

Gray - Robbie seems to bring his best for the Showdown and tonight was no exception. Another massive game and well deserved of the Showdown medal. I shouldn't be surprised by now but it just amazes me just how he can get his hands to it at stoppages, even when he is out of position he just finds a way to win the ball and never wastes it. Kicked a goal as well. The most brilliant player on the ground.

Schulz - Jay is in some kind of form right now. Made Cheney look second rate, especially in the first half when he just constantly won better position. His work rate was too much for Cheney to deal with. His ability to double back and get space running with the flight of the ball is fantastic. Took some super strong marks and 5 goals was perfect reward for his efforts.

Carlile - Like Jay, Alipate is in brilliant form at the moment. Has started the season with some fine scalps in Petrie and Roughead and tonight he did the job on the Crows captain. Walker was forced to lead well outside the 50 to get a lot of his touches and he rarely provided a scoring threat inside 50. Carliles ability to get a timely spoil was great, but even better were his efforts in cutting off others kicks inside 50. He really is now one of our most dependable leaders.

Boak - Thought he was getting beaten through that first half and just couldn’t find much room to move. Seemed to be tackled as soon as he got the ball and forced into defensive handballs a lot. Went bang after half time and was one of the keys to winning. Found more and more space around the packs and was able to deliver it inside 50 with class. A great game by our Captain.
