6 - Howe ( excellent disposal , regularly broke the lines )

5 - McDonald ( was the mainstay of defence and was rarely beaten 1 on 1 )

4 - Jetta ( easily beat his opponent but his disposal was erratic )

3 - Jones ( prolific, but ignored first options , at the team's expense)

2 - Tyson ( read comments for Jones)

1 - Dunn ( rarely made an error )

Kent maybe unlucky to miss out. Kicked 2.3 today and looked dangerous. He needs to learn when it's the right time to have a shot or pass the ball to a teammate.

Were you guys at the game? Serious question. Dunn gave his opponents so much room and trailed them to the ball all day. He had a shocker IMO.

1. Not deserving to anyone but Frawley I guess

Fan, I know Bail tries but come on..

17 kicks, 4 tackles, countless pressure acts and ran forever. He played his role as well as most and got my votes for that. But you're right. I notice him because I like him. He was much better than most here recognize and not as good as I saw. Edited by Baghdad Bob

Agreed.

Dunn's worst performance of the season against an absolute nobody opponent.

I watched Bail today and clearly you're a fan, Fan and I'm not. IMO he had 3 effective disposals (that I saw) and for the most part, made poor decisions, had ordinary disposal and took the second and inevitably wrong option. If he took the first option, we might see a different player. They were the negatives, the positives were the tackling, pressure and he kicked a nice goal (from a free). Not in my votes.

He runs hard and tries hard but turns it over more often than not. A lot of times today I found between opponents when he pushed back rather than actually accountable. I know this could have been instruction but didn;t appear to be. Jetta smashed his opponent, went hard hard all day and used the ball well. His effort is reason to have him as a backup but he needs to be out of our best 22 sooner rather than later.

6.Howe - nullified Zorko but also found the pill and generally used it well big positive for us in 2014

5.T Mac - should never be the sweeping player setting up rebound or playing anchorman role but he does his job as a one on one defender.

4.Jetta - continued his dominance over direct opponent and gave the dangerous Green an absolute bath

3. Jones - willed himself as usual through the second and third quarters when we really should have taken the initiative and took the game on a bit more

2. Tyson - like Jones got his hands on the pill winning the hard ball and capped it off with scoreboard pressure continues to impress me

1.Frawley - presented an option and held his marks, should have applied greater scoreboard pressure, but at least you flew the Flag in the Pedersen/Merrett incident

surprised I'm the only one that gave Terlich a (single) vote.. he only made one trademark error as I recall and most of the time was pretty solid. Think he is one of those players whose reputation precedes him, in a bad way

He was close C & B but I think his last quarter saw him fall out a lot of errors made, whilst not totally catastrophic they stopped momentum going forward. He certainly was not in the worst 12-15 out there for us today

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
