6 - Frawley: masterstroke from Roos to switch him forward.

5 - Jones: completely pantsed Murphy. Bullet-like kicks. Is he officially 'elite'? Pretty close.

4 - Grimes: was starting to have doubts. Immense today.

3 - Viney: absolute gun. Extra points for his smart-alec bum tap to Warnock after Bail goal.

2 - Bail: speaking of that guy, he really proved a few wrong today (including me)

1 - McDonald (really good defensively as always and minimised errors by foot)

Apologies, Spencer, Cross (one of the recruits of the year), Dawes (worth every cent!) Matt Jones, and a few others.

6. N.Jones ( simply inspirational

5. Frawley ( created plenty of opportunities, could easily have nailed 4-5 )

4.Dawes ( not statistically, but man did he make a difference )

3. Grimes ( lead well, always gives 100%

2. Mcdonald ( lead the backline well )

1. Bail. ( worked his ass off.)

Jake Spencer - 2 billion votes

He absolutely smashed them today, physically tormented any Blues player that he went near and made that spud Warnock cower in fear

Thankyou, jake

Too many apologies to mention, but suffice to say it was a great team effort with no passengers! How long has it been since we have been able to put our hands on our red and blue hearts make that claim??

6. Frawely - great presence and just presented all day

5. N. Jones - elite it is

4. Grimes - early on when we were clawing back he was the one clawing

3. T. McDonald - allows the best full back in the business to play forward

2. R. Bail - eating a lot of my own words

1. J. Spencer - in 3-5 years time you can just seeing having a Minson / Jacobs / Maric season

Please keep those votes rolling in folks.

To answer a query from last week, when I post the progressive votes that means the totals for all rounds played so far in the season, not just the round currently played.

6- Frawley ( was untouchable )

5 - Cross ( belied his age , and did everything so professionally)

4 - N.Jones ( lifted his game to inspire his teammates)

3 - McDonald ( if he can improve his decision making he could become elite)

2 - M. Jones ( not my favourite , but definitely played an important part today)

1 - Grimes ( lifted his game , and let little pass )

6. N Jones.... Brilliant both ways

5. Tom McDonald..... Marshalled the back line

4. Jack Viney.....would have got a 2, but gets 2 extra for the 'don't argue' chest fend in 3rd.

3. Dan Cross.....a monster of effort and intent

2. Matt Jones..... fast, smart and fit

1. James Frawley......proper effort and great marking.

Apologies to all the others.

6: Jones N: and yes, he is elite!

5: Jones the other: not elite but a bluddy good battler!

4: Spencer: agro with purpose, his best game yet!

3: Grimes: I have always liked Grimsey, and I'm glad he proved a few critics wrong!

2: Bail: the kid shouldn't be playing for his healths sake, but he did and he was good!

1: Dunn: fast becoming Mr Versatile, and a very reliable player!

And my apologies to Chris Dawes and Chip Frawley, well played.

6 N. Jones - 28 touches whilst blanketing Murphy. Huge

5 Spencer - fought (literally and figuratively). Plays for the jumper more than any other

4 Frawley - involved in everything going forward

3 Dawes - Gave the rest of the side hope, how much he touched it is irrelevant

2 McDonald - Blanketed Henderson when one on one several times

1 Viney - sensation, set the tone

Honourable mention to M. Jones and Bail both of who's run were amazing. If all our players ran to receive like these guys we'd be a good side.

Each of these were the tone setters so to say.

6. N Jones. I am beginning to think he might be our best since Flower.

5. Frawley.

4. Spencer. He is a big doofuss, but his aggression and second efforts are inspiring.

3. Bail. I am a huge fan, but posted about 10 days ago that I didn't think he would make it. 10 tackles, 2 goals and ran all day. Wow.

2. Grimes. Poise, grunt and balance, and limited the turnovers.

1. Cross.

Having Dawes changed our playing shape and his work off the ball was amazing.

T Mac was back to his best today, and like Grimes, limited his turnovers.

Love the way Viney, Bail and Evans attack a contest - run in and cause havoc.

Posted

Had almost 22 classy performers today - very hard to split the votes

6 Frawley

5 N Jones

4 Grimes

3 Viney

2 M Jones

1 Bail (best game of his career)

Also super impressed with Dunn (am starting to think he's one of our top 5 players on the list), McDonald, JKH, Kent (he's everything Tapscott can do, but better), and Dawes.

Posted

Nathan Jones (This bloke deserves a Brownlow)

Frawley (Best game I've seen him play in about 3 years)

Spencer (Best game I've seen him play)

Grimes ( Don't knock him - Captain's game)

Viney (Provides grunt)

Mc Donald ( Better and better)

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
