PROUD of the effort, gutted by the result, Craig McKay again gives his views on the Power’s best players against the Swans.

McKay is a lifelong Port Adelaide supporter and regular poster on the BigFooty forum under the guise of Macca19.

The views below are that of McKay and not necessarily the club.

Macca19’s Top Five
Brad Ebert
Just a mammoth performance. We needed our leaders to stand up and Brad did this with aplomb today. Nearly single handedly pulled us over the line in that last quarter with so many clearances and contested wins. His second half was the best half of football he has played, in what was probably the best game of football he has played. Well done Brad. Absolute huge effort in a huge game.

Matt Lobbe
That was Matty back to his best. Thought he continued on his excellent game against St Kilda with another great game this week as well. Really dominated the hitouts and once again he was able to find our players with the ball easier than he has in the past. Thought his around the ground work was superb, especially in the last quarter. He's growing. I called for him to stand up in the podcast and thought he delivered.

Jay Schulz
Really enjoyed his game today. Worked his absolute guts out and put in a strong performance against a great defensive side away from home. 4 goals was just desserts for his efforts.

Robbie Gray
Is there anything this guy can’t do? Honestly he just keeps raising the bar week by week. I'm gonna have to bring in an 11 point rating solely for Robbie. 35 touches, 10 clearances, nearly 20 contested possessions, so many score involvements again. His ability to keep his body over the ball and dish out a clean handball is incredible. Just needed to slot a goal or two.

Angus Monfries
Good to have him back again. He really is a significant part of our forward line and how hard he works up and down the ground. As hard a runner as anyone in the side and 3 goals was a good performance.
