Ben Cunnington has polled votes from the coaches for the fifth time this season, while Jarrad Waite’s move to the wing brought immediate positive feedback.
Cunnington had a huge last quarter, almost dragging the Roos over the line single-handedly. The midfielder had more contested possessions than any of his teammates had total disposals.
Waite kicked a team-high three goals, and also had nine marks as he enjoyed being further up the field.
Brad Scott and Luke Beveridge agreed on the best two players on the field, but it differed after that.
They gave three different players their three, two, and one vote allocation.
