6. Bartram, for playing a blinder on his 100th game

5. Jones, for his sensational, almost "elite" first half.

4. Rivers, for being a stalwart in defence.

3. Magner, for going in hard time after time after time

2. McKenzie, for practically shutting down Goddard and tackling (and smothering) like a madman

1. Tom McDonald, who started off too conscious of Riewoldt, but ended up almost beating him. Not only did he play well on Roo, but he knew when to run off him and get his own ball, and when to help out his fellow defenders.

P.S. Grimes got a lot of it but his kicking still makes my knees collapse.

6.Jones - first half, just brilliant. second pretty good.

5.Bartram - not sure how anyone can not have Bartram in their votes. His endeavour was just superb, and his skills better than usual.

4.McKenzie - welcome back, son. Showed improvement last week, then huge step up tonight.

3.Magner - same old Magner, great pickup.

2.Bail - another, like McKenzie, who has started to show some form last week

1.Bate - absolutely deserves his spot in the side at the moment

6. Jones - There when needed

5. Rivers - Reliable and useful

4. Moloney - Just kept winning it for us, and actually handballed well a coupla times!

3. Magner - Heart, so much heart

2. Bartram - Skills matched his effort tonight

1. Bate - Becoming really reliable

I left him out because I thought he did not do very much in the first half. His 3rd and 4th quarters were pretty good and nearly managed to squeeze into the votes for mine.

Jamar? I thought he was instrumental.

Rivers continues great form also.

not much love for jamar who killed them and starting hitting the ball wide and not at his feet

Jamar was definitely my no 7.

Good sign a few to pick from.

6- McKenzie (for shutting down St Kilda's best and most important player)

5- Jones (midfield engine)

4- Grimes (for lifting when needed)

3- Bail (for his 1%ers and his pace)

2- Bate (for his willingness to attack the contest)

1- Tommy Mac (for taking on the biggest test of his 6 game career and smashing it!)

Honorable mentions to Rivers, Garland, Jamar and Magner would I think would come back on even if he snapped his leg in half!

And a very very honorable mention to Clint Bartram, for leaving his guts on the field every week and for executing the best kick of his career after 100 games.

I want everyone to stop for a moment and appreciate the fact that we're having trouble with a top 6 because there were too many good players. How good is that? The past few weeks we've all been struggling to find enough positives to pick six. This time it's a struggle to cut some great performances and come up with only the 6 best. If this isn't a good sign I don't know what is.

6. N. Jones - His first half was awesome. Fell off a bit in the second, but clearly BOG for us.

5. T. McDonald - Shut down on one of the best mobile forwards in the game was great. Gave up an early goal when he was feeling Nick's star powerand another at the end that was bad luck as much as anything, but otherwise owned him.

4. J. McKenzie - Demolition job on Goddard. Enough said

3. J. Rivers - Held the backline together. He was solid all day, won his 1-1s and provided rebound.

2. Bartram - Hard and tough, disposal was far better than we've come to expect and he capped it with a brilliant goal in traffic.

1. Jamar - 55 hitouts? How the hell do you get numbers like that?

Apologies to Davey, Grimes, Dunn, Magner, Bate and Bail who all had really good games. As I said, it's great to have too many players to pick from.

Cannot believe no one has Jamar. To me he was almost BOG. He was all over Stanley and McEvoy and gave our mids first use of the ball at every opportunity.

6 - McKenzie

5 - McDonald

4 - Jamar

3 - Jones

2 - Rivers

1 - Bail

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
