6. Vince. Played a massive midfield role AND kicked 3 goals.

5. Gawn. Another stellar ruck performance plus 2 goals and some key defensive marks.

4. Viney. An absolute bull who also flies the flag for his team-mates.

3. Tyson. His first really good game this year. 31 possessions and 2 goals

2. McDonald. Held down defense exceptionally. His disposal is the only thing stopping him from being elite.

1. Garlett. The best forward on the ground all night.

Gawn. Dominated and clearly BOG for mine.

Vince . Tough when it matted and kicking goals from the midfield

Viney. Wow he is a machine 

Garlett. Had a big impact either kicking or creating goals

Tyson. He makes a difference to the team when he is on

Watts. He is becoming very consistent and on track for a great year

6 - Gawn (supreme)

5 - Viney (dominant - he is a beast)

4 - Tyson (best game for the year)

3 - Vince (stepped up when we needed him to)

2 - Kent (ran hard all day and he's in good form)

1 - Garlett (played an excellent small forward's game)

 

Others who played well ... basically everyone else.  Like last week, we didn't have a poor player (IMO)

For 3 weeks in a row, we haven't got an obvious candidate to be dropped (Stretch was dropped after the North game but he didn't play a poor game in that match)  Some of our players who didn't figure well in the stats still played their part.

So in essence it was a great team effort with some absolute standout performances (Gawn, Viney & Tyson) I could have easily given Watts, McDonald & Jones votes and it was a toss-up between Viney & Gawn for the 6 votes.

The top two were magnificent tonight. No other word for it.

Hard to fathom giving T Mac a vote with his turnovers, but the rest of his game is so unbelievably good. He toys with you as a supporter.

6 Gawn - Set the win up with an amazing first half, before tiring a little in the second and he got done over a bit by umps again.

5 Viney - Originally was having trouble with Townsend's hard tag, but then willed himself and the team to the win in he second half.

4 Tyson - What a game by him. How many times was he caught with it this week - I think only one. And his kicking was the best it's been.

3 Vince - Sometimes you forget what a great kick he is and then you watch his left foot snap for his first and realise he's got skill and hardness covered.

2 T-Mac - Rance is the best defender in the league (and after tonight quite a few other things), but T-Mac isn't far behind him. And only one clanger kick for the night when the game was all over.

1 Kent - how many hard chases, how many unselfish hand offs before he finally snagged one himself in the last. By far his most complete game yet.

    SISTER ACT by Meggs

    In the twilight at Frankston Oval, for the first ever match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, the Demons were clinical winning by 59 points and remain undefeated in Season Eight.   The Melbourne team ran out to a wonderful #DeeArmy banner paying tribute to Ron Barassi, ‘a football legend, the greatest Demon’.     So true!   Meggs was super excited to see Irish recruit Aimee Mackin playing her first game.  Aimee quickly showed us that she belongs out there with composure, ga

    ON SONG by Meggs

    Meggs asks is it time to heave ho the melodies and words of yesteryear and update Club theme songs with some Australian composers and singers?     What prompted this reflection was the discovery that this week’s combatants’ themes were written by the same early 20th century American composer, George M. Cohan.     Cohan’s melodies The Yankee Doodle Boy and You’re a Grand Old Flag have been used by Hawthorn since 1956 and Melbourne since 1912.   Even earlier, the clu

    RUN UNBEATEN by Meggs

    The Demons withstood a spirited challenge from the Western Bulldogs in the 10th anniversary of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup to run away with it in the last quarter and take their unbeaten run to 12 wins on the trot, an AFLW record.   The Doggies were tenacious and their losing score of 6.5.41 was the highest score against Melbourne since their last loss against Brisbane in Round 4 on 18 September 2022.   With the sad passing of AFL football legend Ronald Dale Barassi, champion player

    LEARNINGS OR BURNINGS by GOTO

    Well, the 2023 season is over for the Demons after a two point loss to the Blues in the First Semi Final. All season WE have been hearing about the “learnings” that the team needed to make after each loss, but how much have we actually learnt when they:   1. Lost four successive finals at our own home ground;   2. Fell in five of their last six losses despite having more shots at goal and in the sixth, they had an equal number of shots;   3. Lost seven games by under two

    LOST DOGS by Meggs

    The Western Bulldogs and the Demons have history. Prior to the creation of the AFLW league, the AFL ran four years of exhibition matches featuring our two teams between 2013 and 2016. The winner holds the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, in honour of two women who were founders of the national women’s football competition. After 13 games the Demons hold nine wins, four losses record and currently hold the Cup after trouncing the Dogs last year by 64 points. The exhibition games were a precursor t
