6 - Trengove. Kicked a couple of good goals, and generally won the hard ball and delivered well. Also cleaned up a bit in the back half.

5 - Moloney. Continued his good form from last week. You'd expect him to kill it against the Suns, and he did.

4 - Bail. Has heaps of run and great endurance

3 - Jamar. Needs to work on his kicking for goal, but his tapwork is good, and if he got half the frees close to goal that he should have, he would have kicked a bag.

2 - Jones. I think he's finally worked out how to play around his weaknesses. I expect him to really continue this form into the future because all the things he's doing are very reliable. He's not a flashy player, so he should be able to remain consistent.

1 - Wonaeamirri. Toss up between him and Morton for the one vote. Wonna was great in the forward half and really brings the tackling pressure we need. Great to have him back.

Sylvia was shocking in the first half, IMO. Kicked some teenage butt in the second half, but was really poor early.

Garland was not so good either. I would consider dropping him for Macdonald, who played well this week in the VFL. Obviously we'll have more info to go on in a couple of weeks time.

I'm really surprised at all the votes for Sylvia. He was awful when the heat was on. Not worst on ground, by any means. But certainly not in our top six. His second half is probably the reason he's getting votes, because it's fresh in your minds.

I thought he was good. I checked his stats cause you got me wondering if I was imagining his form (i admit to being a fan). Right up there in disposals, marks and even better, he led the tackles. I'll take note when i re-watch the game but i'm happy where i have him.

I felt like his disposal efficiency in the first half was woeful. I'm obviously one out and loved his second half. I just thought his first was poor, and for that reason, he shouldn't be getting all these 4 votes.

The thing with Sylvia is that he is icing on the cake, he isn't batter. So when we're good and he's good, he's bloody sensational.

He can rival Ablett with some of his work in close. It's just that he doesn't do it well enough for long enough on a consistent enough level. If he did, he'd be right up there on Brownlow night, because he certainly catches your eye when he's on.

6 - Moloney. Easily best on ground and did a bit or everything, and did it well.

5 - Trengove. I can't wait to see what he ends up. Brilliant, smart game. In everything. 3rd, 4th 5th efforts stunning.

4 - Bail. Kicking still needs work but his all-round game is weekly improving. Gut-busting run for 100 minutes.

3 - Jamar. Some ruckman can equal/negate him but none can beeat him. Classy ruck performance

2 - Sylvia. If he could only do it for a full game.

1 - Jones. In the last 2 weeks he has shown poise, his biggest lack. It might be Lions and Suns but at least he is improving.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
