text: Elliot Yeo - 9
  Was massive at the coalface in a game where every midfield contest was red hot.
  Jack Redden - 8
  Typical workmanlike performance in a breakout season.
  Dom Sheed - 7
  Found plenty of the ball, competed at stoppages and kicked a nice goal from the boundary.
  Jeremy McGovern -7
  His first quarter was enormous and his influence didn’t dwindle for long.
  Shannon Hurn - 7
  Another very solid outing in the best season of his career.
  Lewis Jetta - 6
  Broke lines and gave his forwards hand delivery, then kicked a huge goal late.
  Luke Shuey - 6
  Wasn’t playing at the level we’ve come to expect but lifted in the third quarter particularly to keep the Eagles in it.
  Willie Rioli - 6
  His pressure was brilliant all game and he had plenty of nice moments without being a gamebreaker.
  Liam Duggan - 6
  Steady and reliable.
  Tom Barrass - 6
  Didn’t lose too many contests down back.
  Liam Ryan - 6
  Was dangerous early and kept the pressure on Collingwood’s defence throughout.
  Josh Kennedy - 5
  Lifted after the long break but was as rusty as they come in the opening half.
  Nathan Vardy - 5
  Competed in the ruck and offered a contest when he went forward.
  Tom Cole - 5
  Did his job defensively in helping limit the Pies’ dangerous small forwards.
  Jack Darling - 5
  Couldn’t get going all night. Nowhere near his best. Then kicked the sealer, so gets an extra point.
  Mark LeCras - 5
  Didn’t kick any goals himself, but had a hand in a couple for his teammates.
  Jamie Cripps - 5
  Didn’t play at the level we’ve become used to, but ran hard all night.
  Chris Masten - 4
  Kept working but just couldn’t get into the game as much as he would have liked.
  Mark Hutchings - 4
  Had the job on Steele Sidebottom, who ended up in Collingwood’s best.
  Scott Lycett - 3
  Beaten in the ruck and didn’t do much around the ground.
  Daniel Venables - 2
  Had moments, but not too many paid off for him.
  Brad Sheppard - 1
  Was out of the game very early with a serious hamstring injury.
