Who did you guys think was bog against hawks??

Lots of good idivual efforts all the way round.. the experienced and the young seem to be gelling a lot better now..

3 Votes = Bate for prescion skill execution and that kick arse tackle.. tried hard all day

2 votes = Aussie very inspirational stuff and made space like a bad smell lol forward pressure was great and sparked the boys

1 vote = couldnt split garland/Green garland for his poise and speed in the backline really started a lot of drive. greeny seemed to have a floating role so was expected to rack up possesions..but showed bravery a few times and kept a level head all day. and his feet.. made a huge difference to our backline.

Would do a poll but cant be fagged

 

what about Mclean and Bruce. Though both were outstanding.

Agree Bate had awesome game

yeah i agree with mclean .. thought brucey looked rattled all day and had some very dodgy disposals.. but i was more just wanting to see who people would vote for 3,2,1 style and what reasons..

I find it the easyiest way to see their opinions without any arguements lol

 

Brock,Green,Miller, Warnock all good games. Thought tackling and presure was fantastic today. Backline stood up and worked hard and together.WELL DONE MELB you showed something today. AND UP YOURS KENNETT YOU [censored]>

3 Bate Sadly missed in first 6 rounds and is getting better n better. Will win a Bluey within the next 3 years

2 McLean, Started us off in the 1st quarter with 13 possessions and was efficient all day without the usual clangers

1 Take your pick , Davey n Aussie awesome, Moloney best game for a year but I`d give it to Garland for stopping Buddy today. Most thought he would kick 10 today including myself


Jones must rate a mention.

Brad Green was great.... pity he isn't in leadership group, cos he would our next captain.

im going to really cop some here for saying this but i really hope greeny has a great year. If its true, that he wants to leave we will get mkore for him if he has a good year obviously. Somehow me thinks DB wants to keep him tho.

3. Bate

2. Jones

1. Aussie

special mention: Miller, Garland, Green and McLean.

 
Brad Green was great.... pity he isn't in leadership group, cos he would our next captain.

He doesn't have much support on this board, but I agree with you. Some of his best games were as acting captain. I think he thrives with the added responsibility. Neitz rates his leadership qualities too, that's enough for me.

3- Mclean, just loved his game, phenomenal first quater.

2- Garland, great on Buddy. I was terrified of this game facing Roughead, Williams and Buddy without Rivers. The kid was great and really level headed.

1- Take your pick, Aussie, Beamer, Bate or Miller.

I don't want to bring the mood of this thread down because the boys all put in a great effort but I just don't know how long I can stand watching Jamar...


I remember more of Green's , Bate's and Aussie's possessions than I do of anyone else's. That's usually how I decide my B.O.G... if a bloke has only 15 touches but most are effective, goal saving/assisting possessions I think he has a lot more impact on the game than a bloke who has 30-35 touches that don't stand out in my memory bank.

So my Top-3 B.O.G's would be Green, Bate and Aussie (in no particular order). Taking nothing away from blokes like Brock, Miller, Beamer, Garland and Warnock though... all performed well.

Brad Green was great.... pity he isn't in leadership group, cos he would our next captain.

No wonder he's not captain if he's not in the leadership group, doesn't work the other way around

McLean was our best today IMO.........didn't stop hitting in hard all day......I thought Moloney was excellent too.....best game I have seen him play for a while......he was tough in the middle all day.....26 touches and 9 tackles.......that's a fair days work!

yeah hard day to give votes lol ...and that was just our team..like to see what the snivilling snotty nosed umpires give there votes too..

cant all be hawks thats for sure...

how was mortons brother...

pity we didnt get more of them... they might have been cheaper by the dozen lol

McLean and Bate were both pretty good, Green and Bruce also had solid games. For me the performances of Garland (who now has taken the mantle of our best young tall defender), Wona, Buckley & Warnock were most pleasing. I had written off a couple of guys in that group, and I'm very, very happy to be proven wrong, hope it continues.

My most dissappointing effort was Miller late in the game. He was good early but with Holland playing injured it was a good opportunity to stand up in the last quarter - take some contested marks in the forward 50 and kick a couple of goals, sadly it didn't happen.

He teases us with glimpses of what he can achieve.

3 - Bate

2 - Buckley

1 - McLean

i dont think he is teasing... he just doesnt have the consentration.

how can brock mclean have more goals to his name in less games then our CHF????????????????????????

I thought Davey was second only to McLean as best on ground.

5 - McLean

4 - Davey

3 - Wona

2 - Bate

1 - Garland

Normally it's difficult to find 2 players that stood out, this week we had about 10-12.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
