Thought McLean was excellent today. His best game for the year IMO.

AFL website is saying his direct opponent was Hayes, who was a clear BOG. If true, that would lower his colours considerably.

Couldnt really award any of the midfielders points. They were good but each were beaten by their respective opponents. The bulk had to goto the defence who held the saints to a fairly low score considering the amount of times it went in the F50.

6- Rivers (getting back to his best)

5- Jamar (one of his best games - keep it up 'Rush'.)

4- Grimes (skilfil and composed)

3- McLean (lots of grunt work, and disposal better than recent weeks)

2- Frawley (solid, with some good run)

1- Maric (excellent first half, just ok second half)

I'm assuming that Rivers played on Koschitzke? From the radio I couldn't tell. About the only thing that got Rivers a mention was a couple of poor kicks (which, actually, is something Rivers needs to work on).

Not much movement among the leaders and Aaron Davey still has a significant lead:

Yep, was on Kosi for majority of the night. Lots of strong spoils (kept him one goal despite the ball being delivered to Kosi's advantage on many occasions.), a couple of strong marks, and lots of 'trademark' Riv. work, leaving his man, when appropriate, to assist team mates in other contests, etc ie. the sort of stuff that doesn't get a mention in most radio coverage. Agree that kicking has never been Riv's strongest suit.

Good on him.

Thats the problem with watching games on TV. You can never really tell who's playing on who because the camera angles are too close. Why can't they televise the game in a wider angle, instead of always close up's of the player in possession!

I actually thought Moloney spent the majority on Hayes, with McLean on Ball?

Interesting that Jamar was an almost unanimous choice as our best yet failed to be mentioned in the best lists of the 2 Sunday papers .

That was interesting. It also confirms to me that some journalists rely heavily on stats racked up by midfielders, and overlook the likes of not only Jamar's good work, but that of Jared Rivers down back too. Not surprising really. I also thought Frawley was handy too.

Yeah, it's more than likely they simply look at the stats and base a lot of their assumptions on them. I've noticed that a few times this year. Anyone who watched the game the other night couldn't have overlooked Jamar. He clearly killed Gardiner and King and took a couple of strong pack marks. That's in the best for me, particularly considering our second half.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
