    Uncontested Possession getters in double figures: Grimes 19, Michie 14, Watts 13, Stretch 11, Cross 11, Dunn 11, Salem 10, McDonald 10.

    Now the backs are going to get a few uncontested touches switching play - which is important but I will concede that is not 'hard work' to do that. Every other UP is hard running. Well done to the boys above - especially Michie, Watts and Stretch, who would have got less of those switches than the others.

    Jones 8, Vince 7, and Viney 6.

    Now this is where I get into a less congratulatory tone... We only had around 170 UPs - that is a very lazy performance from a team that has worked hard to push the average up to nearly 200.

    Against the Pies a month ago we had 237 UPs and the three above had 49 of them between them with Vince getting 24. 12 players were in double figures that day (in order: Vince, Grimes, Jones, Garland, ANB, Watts, Cross, Hogan, Vanders, Viney, Tyson, and Howe).

    As we know - our best players need to lift, they are letting their mates down. I hate to be emotive about this but there are playing a couple of blokes out of contracts. That's how footy works.

    I thought my top 5 had reasonably solid 4 quarter games in a dismal team performance. It says a lot about the team when my next best was comprehensively thrashed in the first half, only to lift a bit in the second.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
