Very hard to allocate votes when I feel gutted and we had so many passengers, but:

6.  Hogan:  a standout.  We would have been obliterated without him.

5.  Jones:  a warrior, but Viney aside, he had very little help around the stoppages.

4.  Viney:  see Jones.  They can't do it all on their own.

3.  Watts:  worked hard and did a few nice things in a team that was well beaten.  He would have been one of the first to go missing 12 months ago.

2.  Gawn:  probably just broke even with Hickey.

1.  Kennedy: a trier, and bobbed up a bit.

6 - Hogan - do I need to give a reason. 

5 - Viney - his 3rd term should have turned the game if the others came along. 

4 - Jones - I love that when we play bad he just comes out and leads by example. 

3 - Watts - presented well - where has his marking gone though. 

2 - Tyson - rounding out a really good centre clearance team. 

1 - Gawn - was below his par but above par for any other ruck. 

 

My worry with the votes is that our centre 4 and our 2 tall forwards are coming up in the votes again and again. I don't think we are getting enough from the others around the ground.

Everyone seemed tired.   IMO Gawn is easily the main reason we're doing better this year, but if we don't get serious help in for him soon, I predict he'll go down injured and we'll be seriously screwed.

 Peder/Frost give Max a break, but they also give the opposition rucks a break because they're easy to ruck against.

  Shouldn't have traded Stef Martin.  I'm not a Spencer fan at all, but he needs to practice goal kicking like crazy & replace Peder/Frost.  He'll hurt & tire the opposition when rucking,  so the opposition will have less energy to battle Max, Max will perform better and be more likely to survive without injury.

3. Watts (his contested efforts were great)

1. Jetta

Our back 6 has been unfairly maligned after this game. We just need to show intensity around the ball otherwise it makes our attacking press look really stupid.

I reckon they'll ring in the changes a week late but with the longer break, I hope they give the same blokes a shot at redemption.

No team can maintain two All-Australian level ruckmen and both Gawn and Martin seem to be the type of guys that thrive on their own

Maybe. Nik Nat was a bit of an unknown quantity at that stage. Martin and Gawn are both in their prime, it would be virtually impossible to maintain.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
