CPL MVP: 5 - Michael Barlow: 38 touches, 10 Inside 50s, 7 clearances, lifted in the last. Perfect game. 4 - Dustin Martin: 23 touches, 4 goals. Awesome 3 - Corey Enright: Kept Lynch honest most of the day and rebounded really well 2 - Sam Mayes: Would be higher if not for him being defensively poor. 24 touches at 87% out of defense though :fap: 1 - Kieran Jack: Solid game
Win #2! Awesome from Barlow/Mayes/Jack. Though it's difficult to judge by stats alone, Judd has been a little underwhelming for most of the season. Probably my own fault, maybe should have had Jack/Barlow as the followers, or tried resting Judd further up the ground more often? That also looks a promising performance from Tomlinson. Though in terms of retention he's essentially competing with Murdoch for a spot, and he's hardly played this season right?? And the bit I have seen of Murdoch has been promising.
Tomlinson is a significantly better footballer than Murdoch with age and future development considered. Competes with Patton, Cameron and Boyd for a spot fwd. giles too when Mumford is fit. Can play forward, back or on a wing and is a great pound for pound mark. Certainly worth it IMO, cpl afl tries not to consider the situation IRL a player is in but their ability which Tomlinson has. Good work rate and clunks marks - averages 7.5 a game last year. A possible trade candidate too but yeah, he'll be very good. If there's a gap to retain him I definitely would
