Player Ratings: vs Carlton Round 6, 2017

Well, I think getting stabbed in the guts while sucking on the worlds sourest lemon would be an enjoyable activity, compared to sitting through 2 and half hours of mental torture.

There's a long way to go for this team, but they've got to stick to the task at hand.

Lineup

B: Nick Smith, Heath Grundy, Zak Jones
HB: Callum Mills, Lewis Melican, Jeremy Laidler
C: Isaac Heeney, Josh Kennedy, Jake Lloyd
HF: George Hewett, Lance Franklin, Gary Rohan
F: Will Hayward, Sam Reid, Tom Papley
FOL: Callum Sinclair, Luke Parker, Dan Hannebery
I/C: James Rose, Harry Cunningham, Brandon Jack, Nic Newman

	40: Nick Smith	6	Neither a good nor bad day, did OK, made a few mistake but showed effort
	39: Heath Grundy	5	Lead to the ball and easily beaten by Casboult and Kruezer before his injury
	10: Zak Jones	7.5	Showed heart when the Swans were getting killed, dragged his team back into it
	14: Callum Mills	7	Always tried hard, always did his best, always worked hard, never gave up
	43: Lewis Melican (R)	6.5	He's a capable footballer, no doubt.
	11: Jeremy Laidler	4	Never seen a player lead to the ball as much as poor Jeremy
	5: Isaac Heeney	6.5	Getting better, showed clean hands and good vision when the Swans needed it, faded badly
	12: Josh Kennedy	6.5	Still trying his best, but getting no support
	44: Jake Lloyd	6.5	Accumulator, but even with 32 disposals, 0 tackles. Sigh. Chip kicks ahoy hoy!
	28: Nic Newman	6	Played well after coming back from the unexplained drop
	23: Lance Franklin	6	A dirty day and doesn't look fit. Still worked hard, still tackled, 19 and 1 goal.
	41: Tom Papley	5	Gave away 2 50m penalties at crucial times, 2 goals, but not much good.
	18: Callum Sinclair	6.5	This guy frustrates so much. Smashed in the ruck, constantly lead to the ball, finishes with 15 HO, 6 tackles, 1.1 and 11 contested possessions.
	26: Luke Parker	5	A dirty dirty day. Nothing went right, couldn't mark it, couldn't kick it straight, just couldn't do anything. Nice goal though.
	4: Dan Hannebery	6	Faded in the 2nd half and barely looks fit. He spent a lot of time in the last quarter forward of the pack.
	1: James Rose	3	Couldn't get near it, 6 disposals, 1 behind
	7: Harry Cunningham	6	Mediocre footballer doing what he does best, 16 disposals, 12 _uncontested_, 3 tackles
	33: Brandon Jack	5	9 disposals, 3 I50s and 5 tackles, had a chance early in the 4th but fluffed it.
	29: George Hewett	6.5	10 tackles, what an effort, had 1/6th of the teams total tackles. He's one of Longmire's "lesser lights" showing how it's done
	9: Will Hayward	6	Kicked the first goal of the game, finished with 2, looks like a capable footballer.
	16: Gary Rohan	2.5	He was by far the worst player on the ground before he went off after knocking himself out. Finished with 2 disposals. Won a free kick that was instantly reversed. AFL score of 10.
	20: Sam Reid	5	Worked hard all game, but forced to play a role not good at, while cutting us off at the knees in the forward line. Robbing Paul and even robbing Peter with this one.

Bonus Rating: 0/10 for umpires failing to stop play twice for unconscious Swans players, the pricks.
