1. Gawn

I thought Strauss was really good today. I don't think I saw him beaten 1-1, which is a big improvement, and he butchered 1 kick for the day. Also got a lot of the ball. Watts drops behind him because he butchered quite a few kicks trying to be more creative than he needed to. Sylvia obviously was our only attacking threat. Morton smashed Shaw for most of the match and gave us run out of the back half. Howe and Gawn both gave us something, Howe constantly presenting and once again taking good marks, and Gawn holding up the ruck when we were being thrashed everywhere else.

6. Sylvia

5. Morton - better game, still has to work on defensive side of game but getting there.

4. Watts - Effort and gut running, which is slowly getting rewarded, should of had a crack when he was 50 out on the puntroad foward flank, game was over, had a chance to show what he has got, instead missed a chip pass to leading target.

3. Scully - 29 touches, are touches none the less

2. Bennell - did solid job on krakour, krak got some cheap ones late

1. Gawn - Competed well, did a couple of good 2nd efforts on the ground, 23 hitouts, a solid game

6 Sylvia - Practically kicked our entire score

5 Morton - Beat Shaw who I rate unbelievably highly. His hardness is something he has to work on, but he played well today.

4 Watts - Kicking is brilliant verging on shocking - but that's usually not his fault.

3 Moloney - One of the only men in a team full of boys.

2 Howe - Lively forward and a hard worker (unlike some of our other lively forwards).

1 McKenzie - Effort personified.

Our young midfield let us down badly today. Don't blame Rivers for balls being put to Cloke's advantage time after time.

Just arrived home, tired, cranky and fairly emotional.

6. Sylvia

5. Moloney (thought he was the only player in the midfield to show any resistance at all, put his body on the line, and make reasonably sound decisions under immense pressure.)

4. Frawley (for his job on Cloke after he tore Rivers a new one.)

After those three, i'm having real difficulty... Ummm...

3. Howe

2. Gawn

1. Scully

The last 3 are "encouragement votes". Scully in particular, his disposal was atrocious and he was uncharacteristically fumbly with his ball-handling.

Morton did a job on Shaw, but there was a couple of instances, one Leigh Brown mark in particular, where he had to go and just didn't. Not good enough. Hate to take potshots at Jonesy, but god he was ordinary with his decision-making today. Even the kid next to me (wouldn't have been much older than 12) commented on it, he was shuddering everytime Jones went near it.

Players who were best of the rest

4. McDonald

3. Howe

2. Scully

1. Moloney

I walked away from the game with only 2 players who I thought could claim they did their role. Sylvia and Morton

The other four were honest. I thought Martin and Watts could be added to that list. However Watts faded as the game went on.

Bennell had 6 disposals and a couple of tackles. His opponent Krakouer had 15 touches, kicked a couple and set a few others up.

Can someone please explain why he (Bennell) is receiving votes here?

Because of Krakouer's touches, only maybe 5 did anything and Bennell shut Krakouer out of all bar maybe one (that I saw, I know he kicked one at the end that I missed) one-on-one. Body-to-body and leg-speed wise, Bennell was fantastic.

As well as this, Bennell stayed as the small back while Krakouer shifted through the midfield for a time.

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
