Who in their right mind wants to do player ratings after a forgettable 67-point loss against the Suns in Darwin? Who in their right mind would even want to listen to it?But at Hawks Insiders we’re committed to the process  - even though it’s hard to think of too many players who get a pass mark after a miserable night in difficult conditions against the Suns at TIO Stadium.

There was a whole lot of meh about that performance, and the sooner we all enact Sammy Mitchell’s 24-hour rule and forget about it, the better. It’s why HI’s Ashley Browne and Darren Levin decided to break from tradition and record a condensed rundown instead of ranking every player on a night where most were comfortably beaten across the ground.

Are you happy with the ratings? Who would you have rated differently and which players were our Insiders too harsh on? You can join us live on Twitter Spaces (@HawkInsiders) for this week’s Safe Space on Thursday night to have your say.
