LOVE that...

Gawn...

is coming to power, and could very well be the number one Ruckman by seasons end (touch wood). Sadly Goldstein beats him in terms of around the ground marking, tackling, goal kicking etc. but as a ruckman in the purist form, Gawn is currently number 1. 

Viney...

 is getting the recognition that Nathan Jones should have got the past 6 years. Absolute beast and now adored/admired by the likes of Robbo, Healey etc. Not saying i love them and value their opinions, but they do have a fair influence in the AFL media. 

Watts...

please, please, please keep it up for the rest of the season/career. If anyone deserves to truly make it, it is you. MUST play well on the big stage on Sunday night. The whole of Australia will be watching due to the public holiday. IF he has arrived, that will be the stage to do it on.

Jones wasn't nearly as damaging in his fourth year. Jones has always attacked the footy/contest but his disposal/decision making was questionable. Jones game went to a new level under Roos/Stone.

Jones had an uncharacteristically high number of turnovers, especially by hand. He was very good otherwise.

Jones is apart of the very few in the AFL these days that can comfortably and dangerously use his opposite side.

I couldn't believe when he missed that set shot, he's normally insanely accurate in front of goal.

whenever Nate jones has a set shot i tend to put it down as a goal the moment i see the mark, not bad when you can have an off day and still play as well as he did.

Jones used to get caught a lot trying to barge his way through, he now thinks his way through situations/congestion. 

 

On on a side note : Bring on Cotchin and the rabble that is the RFC.

And Brayshaw (who is more or less ambidextrous) 
and Bernie (will always love that left foot bomb of a goal against geelong last year).

I like that we have a few of them now

Interestingly Viney gets 10 coaches votes and is on the bench, Gawn gets none and is the ruckman. Simply an observation.

Lacks Wagner.

That would have been a great boost of confidence for him, making the team of the week in only his second game. Statistically, Hartley had a pretty average game, but I didn't see how he played. Interesting choice?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
