6 - N Jones

3 - Frawley

2 - Cross

1 - Grimes

Much the same top six or so as last week - the issue is the others who played quite well last week played poorly today (McDonald, Georgiou, Bail, Watts, Tyson, Dunn, Spencer).

    6 - Nathan Jones: The Ablett-matchup didn't quite work, but his form was again outstanding and IMO, he will make AA at this rate.

    5 - Jack Viney: not necessarily the most talented kid I've seen wear red and blue, but right up there with the most impressive.

    4 - Chris Dawes: extremely wasteful, but cannot question his effort and worth to this side. Worth every cent.

    3 - Daniel Cross: consistent player.

    2 - James Frawley: like Dawes, he was wasteful. But certainly makes us look better in the F50.

    1 - Jeremy Howe: wasteful, but some decent signs.

    Apologies: nil

    6. N Jones - all heart, no fear. Our champ.

    5. Dawes - wasteful, but the good far outweighs the bad

    4. Viney - busted a gut for us today. Will only get better as the season progresses.

    3. Frawley - great work-rate, but needs to hold more grabs

    2. Cross - worked very hard against the odds

    1. Grimes - building into form. Hard and reliable.

    Nope. Not today. Today was the Dunn of old - his kicking out of the back line was woeful, too many times he went with the 'I can kick 50 metres, let me show you' kicks, which go a long distance but go straight up too.

    Having a good year, but today was not a good game from Dunn. Prefer him forward, I'd like to see Roos work on a way to get him forward and Pedersen back.

    6. N Jones : Tired all day

    5. Viney: Hard all day

    4. Dawes: Our best forward but needed 4.2 not 2.4

    3. Frawley: Looks dangerous every time he came in the game but only made fleeting appearances
    2. Cross: Tried all day again but like the other two mis in the votes lacks polish

    1. Kennedy-Harris: Came into the game and did enough in the second half to pinch this vote based on no one else doing any more than him

    Hard to argue with any of the votes, but Dawes and Frawley's misses cost us the game.

    Maybe. I'd say the umpires giving them multiple free kicks inside their attacking 50 cost us the game personally. Disgraceful display today.

    6. N. Jones (this has become a cut and paste each week now. I wish someone else would stand up)

    4. Viney

    2. Bail (his job on Harbrow was very effective)

    1. Cross.

    the nomination of 6 players is definitely one too many today when you see players such as Howe, Bail, Jay K-H & Pederson get the 1 point nomination.

    Howe & J K-H weren't sighted in the 1st half and played respectable 2nd halves, Bail is another one of our midfielders who just doesn't get it enough and when he does is so poor by foot. I thought Pedo was ok and has moved from SPUD to Serviceable over the last couple of weeks, but to mention any of these players in the context of "getting votes" is laughable.

    6 - N.Jones ( has added class and inspiration to his repertoire )

    5 - Dawes ( the epitome of determination )

    4 - Cross ( we couldn't ask for a more professional senior player )

    3 - Jetta ( was often found in precarious situations , but was rarely beaten )

    2 - Viney ( lacks polish but is learning quickly .. will be a star )

    1 - Grimes ( consistent and calming )

    Their hard work in the forward line kept us in it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
