Surprised one of these are not up

I'll have a swing

Hogan - please improve kicking

Jones - tough but sloppy

Salem - needs more ball

Watts - Some good moments

Petracca - an absolute bull

Viney - is officially elite

Gawn - was well beaten 

Tyson - Demonland's most underrated 

Oliver - very minimal impact

Stretch -  possesses great smarts 

Garland - Not AFL standard

Pederson - lazy and unsighted 

Michie - will hold spot

Vince - will get suspended 

McDonald - never kick again

Hunt - looked completely lost

Bugg - sloppy and fumbley

Kennedy - thank you Collingwood 

Garlett -  not his best

Jetta - always Mr. Reliable 

Wagner - same as Hunt

Harmes - needed more output

Can't see why Vince will get suspended for a bump on the shoulder and no real impact on the player he supposedly hit 'high'.

Gawn was well beaten alright... by the maggots! The umpires continually let the Bulldog ruckman impede his run at the ball while allowing Bonts to have a clear hit as third man up. Contrast this approach by the maggots to the free against Hickey for impeding Goldstein!

Oliver's minimal impact had him top 5 for handballs and around top 5 or 6 for tackles!

Apart from that DemonLAd5, I reckon you're pretty close!

Viney - Disappointed me today

Will post more on this tomorrow when I have some time but he really needs to work on some aspects of his game if he is to be truly elite and the leader we want him to be.

I know most if not all will not agree...but it's how I saw it.

Tyson - our best today

Jetta - not far behind

Oliver - kick the ball

Oliver is a bit like a young Jobe Watson who early in his career wouldn't kick the ball but all of a sudden it clicked. I'm sure the same will happen to Clarrie.

Agree on Michie      we lost the contested ball by a big margin  so we lost

That was part of the problem yesterday. His game was very similar to his Brisbane game. He got a lot more of the ball but he had little influence. He wasn't alone in that regard, though.

Tyson again gets a kick from Joeboy ( Tyson must have kicked his cat)   - was he more wasteful than Jack Viney ?

Posted (edited)

Tyson is constantly tackled as soon as he gets the ball and usually doesn't free his arms to get the ball out. He's gone backwards this year.

MFC - fit of fumbles

He went backwards last year  - injuries and couldn't get himself right. He has been very solid this year and again compare his game to Viney's. As many times as Tyson got tackled as soon as he got the ball  - so was Viney. There many secondary stoppages caused by Viney getting tackled and not free as there were with Tyson. Selective analysis in my opinion.

Tyson's getting back to his levels where he finished runner up in our B&F not backwards.

He's averaging equal or higher in disposals, goals, tackles, Inside 50s and Score Assists than that year, and all are a marked improvement on last year.

You say this every week. Why? His kicking was sharp yesterday, one of our goals was directly caused by Tyson successfully executing a risky but perfect 50m kick into the corridor to Jones who was surrounded by Bulldogs. I don't recall any of his other kicks missing the mark either.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
