    Agree, some of his disposals were sloppy, but still clearly in our best 4 on the ground.

    Boyd had the same disposals hit the target as Griffen (31 touches at 74% = 22).

    Boyd had 10 clearances, the next best on the ground was Libba with 6. He had 19 contested disposals, the best for North was 11 (Scott Thompson). He did so much work under enormous pressure in close. Had an enormous influence on the game. BOG for me.

    Champion Data do a great job these days with Supercoach points. It takes into consideration many factors including disposal efficiency and is a pretty good indicator of ones influence on the game. They had Boyd with 137 and Griff with 123.

    Re: Woof Player Awards Rnd 7 - Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

    Based purely on perception of what I saw at the game

    4. Griffen
    3. Minson - gave us first use of the ball time and time again
    2. Cross - An important piston in the engine room but had a great day outside of the pack
    1. Lake - the Lynchpin of our back 6. Can anyone believe people were talking about a shift to another club last year?

    2. Dahlhaus - Not a great day stats wise but harried all day
    1. Mitch - Smart hands lad.

    What was is? His hair? Man love? Of the rookie both Libba and Wallis were easily better than him.

    It's hard to pick votes. I just think he puts so much pressure on opponents. He might not get a stat for that, but putting pressure on the opponent forces them to kick in a hurry. Love the pressure and leg speed he brings. Libba was fantastic and you could see him bent over on the mark, just stuffed. Giving us his all. I was at the North End, so very hard to see what went on in close down the other end. Wally, just so smart with his hands. As I said, based on what I could see from my end, but very hard to split them.

    4 Griff - champ.
    3 Lake - welcome back Briza
    2 Dicko - we need a bloke who can convert opportunities. He fits this bill.
    1 Boyd - Would've had him higher, but for the poor disposals. Was everywhere though.

    Apologies to Sherm, Gia, Austin, Crossy

    2 Libba
    1 Wallis

    Only Boyd had more contested possessions than Dalhaus (16) on the ground today. Wins a lot of his own footy which is so valuable.

    4. Griffen
    3. Lake
    2. Boyd
    1. Cross

    Griffen, all class. Absolute A-grader on a consistent basis thesedays. Lakey is back! Hopefully he can play this well against lesser opponents more regularly. Boyd, I thought we had about 3 of him today. Everywhere. If he learns how to kick he could be the best midfielder in the league. Crossy was an outside choice, but I thought his courage and disposal was top class today. Continues to prove doubters wrong.

    2. Wallis.
    1. Dahlhaus.

    Wallis is becoming better each week. Going to be 200+ gamer for us. Libba was unlucky not to sneak in but I thought Dahl's ball use and hunger for the contest was second to none. Sign of a great game when the votes are a toss up between just about every player.

    OK. 22 possessions. 10 Clearances. 7 Tackles. 1 Goal.

    Still an awesome statistical game since that is what you are measuring.

    Add in whatever intangible you like that describes the benefit of the teams captain sticking his head over the footy 100 times each week and running further and faster than any other player on the field.

    Not in our best 4?
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
