Won't give any because thats pretty close to spot on, from my perspective. Maybe generous to McDonald but he does alot of things that I can never notice, so kudos to him.

6. Morton - Classy performance, his link play looked exceptional.

5. Wheatley - Continues to impress down back

4. Junior - Scrappy early but really stood up in the second half

3. Green - Came into the game when we needed him. His courage when marking is top notch.

2. Buckley - Encouraging game from young 'Bucks'

1. Bruce - Was always chasing and presenting, needs to take the game on though to be a true leader!

Honorable mentions to Sylvia, Bartram and Jones.

Buckley unlucky, ditto Martin..

Juice was graet, and gave alot of great chases's.. was really good t see.. should of kicked 4 or 5!

Cale was simply awesome, cant wait for him after another pre-season, well ahead of schedule, a real geniune superstar in the making, lets hope we can keep him when the time comes.. im sure we will though!

6. Cameron Bruce, for his clearances in a team that is terrible in that area.

5. Cale Morton, because of his marking, running and kicking.

4. Brad Green, for his courage and footy smarts. Would have come close to BoG if he had kicked straighter.

3. Paul Johnson. I'll miss him until next year.

2. Matthew Whelan. Superb tackling and defensive pressure. We're real lucky to have him teaching our younger defenders.

1. Paul Wheatley. Lots of positive, attacking disposals. Did well today.

Honourable mentions to James McDonald, Nathan Jones, Matthew Bate, Brad Miller and Clint Bartram. I also liked Michael Newton's pressure in the first quarter, as well as his leading throughout the game.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but another top game that probably won't get any votes (may not deserve either but nonetheless) from Matthew Whelan

The guy just never stops putting his body on the line, uses the ball well, when others are handballing for the sake of it, he'll use the handball to give a teammate the best opportunity to break away and move forward.

23 disposals at 95%

Well done Wheels, I'm glad you're proving the doubters wrong

I had a line through his name at the start of the year. Certainly don't now and I doubt there's too many who do. He's been very good this year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
