Brownlow Medal Player Review

St Kilda v Richmond Round 5

It was here that Richmond was supposed to make a mark in the AFL, but the only real mark they left on the game was the 2 cm hairline fracture in Chris Hyde's head. It was a good effort all-round from St Kilda - particularly from an unfit Fraser Gehrig and Stephen Milne. However, the boys gave Nic Dal Santo the three votes mainly because of his dominance in the back lines and his willingness to run forward - he is a very fit young man! Two points to Stephen Milne in one of his best and most elusive games for the year. The one vote was difficult to find but Shane Tuck's individual and yet unheralded effort probably helped make Richmond look better than they really were.
