It concerns me to see Miller's game rated below Green's game by Demonland frontrunners. Miller's performance was all contested stuff - one on one - gutsy, committed, explosive. Green is a great quarterback-style loose man in the back line and he is playing really well. Miller was the match-winner.

Personally I found Green and Miller's games pretty hard to split, as there's no doubting they were both pure class yesterday. I wouldn't argue against giving either of them the 6.

It was great watching that last Miller mark on TV. Green actually had as much claim on it as Miller did and was NOT going to let go, until he realised it was a teammate he was fighting with. It was a very fitting end that our two best players on the day battled to take the mark that won the match. Great stuff.

I'd love to see some fitness stats and GPS data on Green. He seems to cover more ground and run more than anyone in the team. I know he was loose in defence for much of yesterday, but to be able to run down the ground with Wona at the death shows he must have a really good tank.

Bruce never seems to get as much credit for running all day either.

valenti was pretty ordinary... i'd still persist with him though

my votes were

6. Green

5. Miller

4. Whealen

3. Sylvia

2. Bruce

1. cj

He was ok. And keep persisting playing him Bails....

6.Green

5. Whelan

4.Miller

3.Bruce

2.CJ

1.Sylvia


Green, Miller and Wheatley for me.

Greeny has well and truely earned his spot back in the leadership group, and he's done it in the best way possible!

......

6. Miller - all contested stuf

5. Green - all classy stuff

4. Bruce - all commitment

3. CJ - has learned to kick to position

2. PJ- ball of muscle

1. Wheatley - great skills

Green wasn't loose all day. Leigh Matthews said he tried a few players to match-up on him but they couldn't get near Greeny.

 
Black had 23 touches

Which is just under 2/3's of what he managed against us in Round 6

Dunn had 17 touches and laid 8 tackles... I reckon DB would be pretty happy with that outcome.


i thought he had a stinker today... seemed to be rushed all the time, which resulted in bad decisions with the ball... got enough of it, but needs to use it better... don't drop him though, he'll learn and a couple of weeks up will do him good...

Valenti's disposal was hit and miss, but he is such a smart player and he instinctively knows where the ball is. I thought he did some terrific work in the middle, got first hands on the ball 4 times plus a couple of clearances and gathered 19 possessions with just 70% TOG.

It was encouraging just to see him find the pill over and over again (in his THIRD match) and even though some of his kicks were ordinary, his decision making was good. I like smart players, IMO understanding the play can make up for a multitude of sins.

Green wasn't loose all day. Leigh Matthews said he tried a few players to match-up on him but they couldn't get near Greeny.

OK, I didn't mean loose as in "unopposed", I meant loose as in "extra". The fact that Matthews tried to match him up and Green ran off his man countless times is just added evidence to him having a great tank.

Again I;m a little late t the party but for me......

6. Brad Green

(only just, if at all behind) 5. Brad Miller

4. Colin Sylvia

3. Chris Johnson

2. Matthew Whelan

1. any number of players but I will go with Cameron Bruce

Apologies to Brock McLean, Mark Jamar, Paul Wheatley, Lynden Dunn, Matthew Bate, Paul Johnson and our entire defensive unit who I thought were not too bad, especially considering the collective scoring power and size of the opposition forwards.

No love for Paul Wheatley chook?

6: Brad Green

5: Chris Johnson

4: Brad Miller

3: Lynden Dunn (did simon black touch it)

2: Colin Sylvia

1: Paul Wheatley

Spot on!

miller had the claim to it, he was the first to touch it and he was the man in front. if miller lost hold of it and green brought it down it should have been play on imo.

same as the mark to a brisbane player up the other end should defs have been play on, the man in front had it first, it should have been called touched.


Not to be an @sshole or anything, but how is Brad Green not winning this? He has been superb all year and in AA contention IMO. He has been good every game and leading from the front with his courageous marks and directing the play from HB. Would be happy with him as our next captain actually!

The same reason that Sylvia is coming 11th.

The people that vote dont have a clue.

How ironic that you had Sylvia ahead of Green versus Brisbane

6 - Green (Worked hard all game)

5 - Miller (Presented well, kicked goals!)

4 - Sylvia (Good signs, consistency wanted)

3 - CJ (Great skills)

2 - Wheatley (Rebounded well)

1 - McLean (Pure guts and courage)

Apologies to PJ, Jamar & Whelan.

  • 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.
