There were many great individual performance’s by players this week. Some fella’s might have to catch up with the doc for a blood test this week as i wouldnt be surprised if they had traces of leather poisoning, Salopek 33 touches, Shaw and Mackie 34, Mitchell 39 and Carrazzo 42. Couple of players also managed to kick a few bags, dont know whether kicking the bags was necessary im sure picking them up and moving them with there hands might have been a better way (NOTE: the previous joke was shithouse). Franklin booted 6 along with Roughead, Williams got 5, Richooo 5, Milne 7, Cooney 5, Pav 5, Lloyd 5 and Motlop with a career best 7.
But play of the week is about a great four quater effort, its much less than that, whilst all these performance’s were sensational, Play of the week is about a single quater or section of play by a player which breaks the game open and is music to the ears for Dream Teamers, this week i couldn’t look past the third quater effort from Jason Porplyzia.
When things got wet and cold at aami stadium during the crows vs roos game, the Porp heated up and inspired the crows to a 8 goal to 1 3rd quarter. His ball handling skills in the wet were sensational and his use of the body brilliant for a man of his size, not to mention his effort in front of goal. After 17 DT points at half time, Porp’s racked up 61 points in the third term, he also saw the ball 11 times and kicked 4 goals, a dream quater. Interestingly enough, he only managed 89 points for the game but yet still got BOG in many papers and websites. Not often does a player poll 3 votes for a one quater game.
Congrats Porp’s, keep up the good work.
