I was at the game and surprised Sidebottom scored so well. He got a lot of it but seemed to always be turning it over. His disposal has been very grubby since he came back.
Actually didn't score that well. 119 SC for a guy with 30 touches, 9 clearances and 12 tackles!
Reminds me of that big game Cripps had a few weeks ago where people thought he was back, only scored a 109 for all the stats.

That been said, more clearance work and midfield time is never a bad thing.

I've really enjoyed following this for the last three weeks and I'm going to miss it. Coming into the last game I believe the equation is Bergman + 90 vs Aliir. So you're not completely out of it!
Aliir won't outscore Bergman by 90+. Going to be close if they keep going as they are currently, but I think you have too much of a lead. Aliir is usually quieter in the second half of matches.

If I had of fielded Warner this round rather than Rowe, things may have been different, but it has been fun to follow. Well done either way.

Reckon he should've received a harsh negative DT:SC ratio given the number of horrendous turnovers

Man, not sure what Bergman did to CD, they hate him! Been really solid I though, couple of his marks could easily have gotten contested grading on intercepts.

Frederick super solid first half.

Brad Hill is such a lazy player, watching him and Amon is actually amazing and sums up the difference in this game. They start on the wing next to each other, Amon runs defensively 50m to get a touch, Hill has moved 4m from the original spot, a couple of touches later Amon gets another touch 50m ahead of where they started and Hill has moved back to where they start. Just such a stark contrast and sums up everything wrong with Hill, I don't expect him to put his head over the ball, I don't expect him to tackle or contest but I do expect he gut runs and creates overlap and linkup options and he's done neither all season, just a pathetic grub grabbing a cheque right now with no interest in trying for his team.

Aliir great again. Boak as always. Crouch playing awful. Steele is a beast but reckon he's pretty lucky on the ratio front, disposal has been very ordinary and couple of really bad clangers.

Marshall looks really solid considering his o***eason. Ross with another game where he's had it 19 times and I reckon if I was a Saints fan I'd rather it was about 2, when he doesn't outright butcher it he just hospitals teammates instead, he's a really ordinary player.

Clark gone completely missing, can't blame a lack of supply.

Saints in general though just zero composure as a team, they genuinely look like they hate being in possession of the ball, just panic hacking, not even any real forward pressure from Port, they're zoning off the ball and just inviting that long kick and Saints just keep panicking into it.

Rozee ratio pretty harsh, kicked a goal and "earned" the 50 with a lovely flop, hasn't done anything else :LOL:

Yeah Bergman's ratio is pretty harsh. Although you probably can see where they are coming from tho, these uncontested marks +6 really inflates DT scores when in reality they are only getting 3-4 SC points. (i'm an owner with him on field)

Ross on the other hand must be played as a tagger otherwise he has no value.

Even the contested ones are only worth a point for him :LOL:
