Without doing the addition, I was going to comment that it is nice to see that so many people think that different players deserve votes - that points to an even contribution.

Dunn will give the B&F a shake this year. I don't reckon the gap between he and Nathan is anywhere near as large as these voting systems indicate.

He's found a level of consistency that I didn't think was in him.

He is on track to be AA, and I say that without a hint of bias. He genuinely is. It's remarkable.

When will someone in the media start talking Dunn up as a potential All Australian?

Today, in the Herald Sun

I must have watched a different game to most other posters here. I cannot see how Kent makes the top 6. Yes, he contributed well, but he wouldn't make my top 10. With such a huge inside 50 differential, I had to give the top three to the best three defenders (and apologies to Jetta for not including him).

6. Dunn

5. McDonald (even with his errant disposals)

4. Grimes

3. Jamar

2. N Jones

1. Watts

Edit: clarifying which Jones (although I think it's probably obvious)

Edited by La Dee-vina Comedia

5. McDonald (even with his errant disposals)

I forgive every errant disposal he has ever made because after watching the "Salem goal" passage of play it was his run back into the corridor with a superb handpass to Tyson that broke open that piece of play.

I keep watching that last play and marvel at it.

The ferocity of the Vince tackle to break the ball free - monstered

Pederson ducking under the Hocking tackle and rocketing a handball to Jones - committed.

Jones kicks to the Frawley contest

Frawley bashed around the ears in between two Essendon players- presented hard

McKenzie gathers the ball and shrugs a tackle - strong

Frawley got back his feet immediately after being pole-axed.

McKenzie handballs into Frawley - high risk and inventive

Frawley surrounded, lightening quick handballs back to McKenzie - have a look at the pace of this move - unbelievable.

McKenzie to Tommy Mac - this is pivotal - he decides to run into the corridor and handpasses to Tyson who is under pressure.

Tyson handballs under pressure delivers to Viney - the pressure he was under meant he could have coughed the ball up to anyone

Viney held for the ball for a split second longer waiting for the contact and drawing a man then handpassed to cross just as the contact came.

When Cross had the ball and Salem ran into space Dawes spreads wide creating separation between him and Salem and the one defender left.

Cross's deft pass hits the mark and Salem cool as a cucumber drills it .

( also watch how far back both Viney and Cross came to create the options)

I know we all saw the same thing - but this passage was executed after 120 minutes of football - and under extreme pressure. It was inventive and executed to perfection

I reckon if you gave them 5 goes again to execute that play they wouldn't get it right ! It was sublime.

I'm loving your joy Nut, beautifully described.

It is so rare that you see the "complete package" - this play was courageous, inventive, daring and perfectly executed.

I'll stop now.

okay I wont stop - after my 10932 watch of the clip - I can't pick up who were trailing Viney and Cross but they were 10 metres behind them after the pair of them took off and didn't make the effort to keep with them.

One part to look at closely is where Tommy Mc is when Jones kicks to the Frawley contest - he is standing right next to Chapman and a good 40 metres off the next contest - although it is a long camera shot he looks spent. He then gets himself to the contest to take the receive from McKenzie and Chapman is struggling 10 metres behind him. Shame Chappy Shame !

This wasn't only about perfect execution - is was as much about willing yourself to a contest.

OK. NOW I'll stop.

Hah, I've got to confess I've watched it a million times as well (and I *still* haven't seen the rest of the game - though it seems to have finally appeared on the SmartReplay thingy). Seeing McDonald charge inboard and hand off to Tyson still makes the hairs on my arms stand up.

Oh why stop now Nut?! :-) From Vinces tackle to Salems mark = 13 fine things in succession in 28 seconds!!

Frawleys quick recovery to receive Jordies handpass and in a tenth of a second he's directed a perfect left handpass back to Jordie between the 2 Dons, #12 Baguley closing so fast on Tyson, but he gets it to Viney.....

Most enjoyable passage I've seen for years. Ok I'll stop now

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
