A star in the making

While Krishna and to a lesser extent McGree steal the headlines, Max Burgess' stock continues to rise at a rate that will have investors circling.

His poise in midfield is not only attractive but instrumental, he literally controls the ebb and flow of the Nix at times and it's a trait very few, if any, young Aussies in the competition can regularly muster.

It's that time - a lot of time - he spent on the sidelines that's fed the hunger he exerts so effervescently today. 

WORST

'I wouldn't buy a used car off him'

 

While there was sumptuous attacking talent on display, and Shayon Harrison certainly provided his part, the winger's dive may be all he's remembered for at the end of this season.

Horribly timed, disgracefully overt and obviously pointless. The worst dives in football occur when, had the striker stayed on his feet, he would have had a clear chance at goal.

This was one of those and it's better forgotten, but most likely all too memorable.
