1. Liberatore

Just finished watching the game.

Griffen - It was a tossup between Boyd and Griffen for me. Thought Griffen was more damaging, and also got smashed a handful of times and just kept getting up. God he's a good player.
Boyd - Had a few outright poor kicks that rightly were criticised, but otherwise his stats were effected by the amount of contested ball he had to clear in a hurry. The right choice for Captain IMO.
Picken - Made Harvey his bitch again. Focusses on his job like no other. Rate him highly.
Cross - In the time I've been seriously following footy, I'm not sure I've seen a braver player in our colours. Chris Grant? West? Dunno, but Cross has no regard for his wellbeing, and gives so much for our team that I couldn't not include him.

Wallis - Terrific all day. Great hands and super attack on the opposition.
Liberatore - See above, just shaded by Mitch.

I don't get it. I DON'T get it. How is it, that Cross is not injured all the time? Or at least coming off from the Blood rule? Astounds me.

When I was playing footy, a friend of mine said once " If you go in with intent, you don't get hurt as often. But if you hesitate, and don't commit, that's when you get injured". Strange logic but perhaps it is true.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but the places he puts himself yet comes out unhurt give some credence to your friend.

Cross' courage is ridiculous. It was actually good to hear the commentators commend him for it.

Watched the replay on AFL website.

It's a good question. Scott West was pretty brave. Steve Wallis and Terry Wallace got knocked senseless more times than I can remember too. All three never hesitated to put themselves in danger to win the ball and Crossy is right up there with them.

Liberatore Snr, nowhere he would not go and nothing he would not do. Courageous actions were a state of mind not something he did a few times a game.

Scott Wynd was also very brave going back into the hole.

Agreed with Wally, probably the most courageous of your list with the other two not far behind.

Cant believe I overlooked Libba! Oh god yes, the most courageous player, bar none. My beautiful 10 year old daughter's middle name is Liberatore. She loves watching Tom.
