Looks like somebody disagrees with you. From the coaches VFL player review.

"Viv Michie: Viv’s had a good couple of weeks. He ended up with 25 possessions and three effective tackles. Viv provided us with good ball use and linked inside 50. He ended up having nine clearances, which was the highest for the day from our midfield players, so his work around the stoppages was really strong. He played his role really well and also gave us some quality ball use and link-up work. I can’t fault Viv at the moment. His attitude has been tremendous since being dropped back to the VFL."

Yep. Agreed. I didn't see it that way. It's why they are coaches and I'm not.

TBH I don't notice him much in the seniors either. Seems to be one of those players that I just miss.

    Sounds like Viv might get a run vs the Saints, hopefully not as sub

    Professionalism also increases the gap between the elite and lower grades.

    & tiredness & fatigue brings them all closer together, & one creative player can swing a game off his boot, if given enough space to operate within.

    .......... ah, they were the days.

    Do you have some sort of relation to Viv, it just seems like you have a personal investment in the fella.

    Happy to see him doing well at VFL but unfortunately I think he has found his level, he is probably a cut above VFL and is a really good depth player at AFL. I hope he can come in and play well increasing competition for spots, but I think when he comes up he struggles to find the football, make good decisions and run out games.

    I agree you tend to miss him and then he has 25 touches. Sort of quiet achiever (if that's the right word). He kicked a goal on Sunday and I did not realise until later. Apparently spent the 3rd qtr either on the bench or at HFF. Spoke to him post game. Said it was to give somebody else a go in the middle. Was back in the middle for the last. You aren't the first to say you just don't notice him but then realise that he has had a ton of it. I would like to see him get a few games in a row as I think he has potential.

    No relation. Just feel he has been poorly treated this year and feel he doesn't get much of a go. I reckon he is as good as any of the youngsters we have. People think because he is 23 he has been around a lot longer than them. Unfortunately his first two years were virtually non existent due to injury. Probably just feel for him. Used to watch him at Peel Thunder.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      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?
