Agree on Bugg. He's the kind of player I notice more when he turns it over than anything, and I can't help but notice he turns it over as much as probably anyone. But he's playing his role.

Yeah I agree. I am a massive Bugg fan. I probably overlook him because he is performing as expected for me. I really like this kid. I think he has a pretty high ceiling. If he can clean up his disposal, and minimize the turnovers - he could be a potential A grader.

I remember two bad turnovers today. They were ugly admittedly and stuck out, but I thought he was quite clearly in the top five players on the ground. His aggression is a massive and important feature. He was in everything.

Some players get burned more for their turnovers than others. Vince never gets burned. Bugg always does.

6 Watts... who is this man? second and third efforts. Should have been spotted by teammates more often. His ruckwork was good.

5 Wagner...Solid and steady. 

4 Hogan... Wow. Carey like today. Just get it to him when he is on song

3 Harmes... a soldier

2 Bugg... big heart and gets the footy

1 Petracca because he will be a star

6 Tom Bugg - It's nice to have our own serial pest.

5 Jesse Hogan - A classy display, although a bit unsure on the break a few times.

4 Billy Stretch - Can the Matt Jones fans please explain why he got the gig before Billy this season?

3 Jack Watts - You could hear the collective groan when he went into the ruck - but he showed us up again.

2 Nathan Jones - Was assured all game and seemed to make sure there wasn't too much lairising

1 Col Garland - All our defenders were pretty solid but I'm trying to remember a mistake

6 Stretch - He was really important when Brisbane were pressing us and racked up a career high disposal count.  His best game by far. 

5 Bugg - Was in everything.  Tackled well, got plenty of ball.  Nothing not to like. 

4 Hogan - Can't argue with five goals.  He worked hard around the ground too. 

3 Watts - Game high marks, rucked well enough, hit the scoreboard.  What's not to like?

2 N. Jones - His usual sort of game.  He was getting scragged constantly at stoppages with no love from the umpires, kept at it, racked up disposals, kicked a nice goal. 

1 Petracca - I wasn't going to include him because he got too tricky and cost us scores repeatedly, but for all that his game was impressive and he had an impact. 

Apologies to Oliver.  If he'd scored those two easy goals he would ave been in.

And a little commentary: Bugg and Harmes turned the ball over so many times I couldn't reward them with votes. Perhaps that's harsh, but it's nice to know there were other options to choose. Watts was handy for the first three quarters but outstanding in the last. What makes this better is that even though he was a part-time ruckman, he was still powering on in the last quarter. Oliver on one leg was outstanding and showed mental toughness to play through what was obvious pain. Petracca's physical size reminds me of Leigh Matthews. His tree-trunk thighs make him almost impossible to knock over.

6.harmes - was just in everything.

5. garlett- could have had 6 goals for the day but shared it around

4 Stretch, Great game of the half backn for him

3. Bugg. great game.

2. Hogan. because

1. Petrecca. good, but needs to take the damn shot for goal sometimes instead of doing "The Team Thing..."

 

watts unlucky to miss out on votes.....

Just got back from OS and only seen highlights so this is mostly based on my Stats comparatives. Haven't completed Rounds 6, 7 & 8 yet as i was OS but Stretch's weighted score is the highest i have seen versus the first five rounds and the first weighting above 6 i've seen since last season... Jones (once) & Vince (twice). Break out game?

6. Stretch (6.28)

5. Bugg (5.68)

So the lions game is the only one Bugg was top 5.... Wow, I reckon he is seriously underestimated on here.

He is not flashy but he is so valuable at stoppages for us!

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
