6 - N.Jones - some brain fades but was indefatigable and prolific

5 - Gawn - dynamic and dominant in the centre

4 - Frost - may have come of age.. a joy to watch coming out of defence

3 - Kent - aggressive , feisty and clever

2 - Watts - has been better this year but performed all over the field

1 - M.Jones - unfashionable but has improved significantly over the year

6. N Jones - Th next person who says this bloke isn't an A grade footballer needs to uppercut themselves immediately

5. Gawn - Star

4. Frost - Best of the back six. Finally starting to use his size and strength along with his speed

3. M Jones - Have to go close to his best game for the club. Didn't do a thing wrong all day that I can recall

2. Kent - A mixed bag but the good outweighed the bad. Very laconic at times, to put it kindly

1. Tyson - Lots of the ball, lots of tackles, lots of work rate, could've used it lots better

6 Nathan Jones : playing outside mid

5 Matt Jones

4 Max the magnificent

3 Jack Watts

2 Tmac

1 Billy Stretch/Petracca 

Jack Viney got caught too many times trying to gat onto his left side . Good side will block him off too easy

We continually criticise tornoveres from the defence, but ignore the midfield turnovers whic leave us even more vulnerable

6 Gawn - Really tried to lift us and was noticeable when he was off because Watts was killed in ruck area.

5 N.Jones - Not always clean but kept working. 

4 Frost - Great dash from the backline. Why did we all have to wait until Round 11 for him to be played as a defender.

3 T Mac - A couple of late kicking howlers spoiled what was a superb game - he wasn't Robinson Crusoe with the poor kicks though - hence no Vince or Viney this week.

2 Kent - Ran his heart out pressuring and if only Dawesy had figured out he was free early in last quarter.

1 Petracca - Great to see him really use his kicks well. He will be something - just not this year.

Apologies: Yes I did notice Matt Jones and had him in my top four Dees at half time. He faded in second half though. His best game yet for us though and there won't be any calls from me for his omission next week. Indeed it would be hard to find anyone worthy of the axe next week. We kick well and we win away by five goals.

Sorry I just realised I left out Tyson - who was our best player to half time. With more time he gets 3 from me and the others move down one.

Love it when it's difficult to limit the votes to 6 and pray for the days when this is a regular occurrence

6. N Jones -awesome captains display willed himself to win contests and was everywhere with his run on the outside 

5. Gawny - went up against 2 ruckmen intent on jumping into him all day and a 3rd man up but won hands down and was influential around the ground 

4. Kent - fantastic run and pressure acts all day. Used the ball really well and providing more than just dash at last

3. Frost - clear best defender on the ground who not only dominated with muscle and size but provided plenty of dash out of the backline 

2. Viney -just hard at it all day ran himself into the ground to get on the end of kicks and handballs to provide a link up

1. Petracca - very clean in conditions which weren't helpful to this but his ball use was exceptional. Showed great strength and power

Apologies to Watts Matty Jones Tyson and Stretch

Watts and Stretch get in because every time they get the ball we get another possession.  The rest are self explanatory.  I'm surprised by the love for Kent.  Great last half but he touched it 4 times in the first half and in addition tried to mark a ball in the square that was going through. If he'd reversed his half's he wouldn't have got much recognition.

We desperately need him to get some consistency through games because he adds so much when he's on.  He never inspires confidence with the ball and misses what many get. To me he's a very frustrating player.

They did seem to have an influence, didn't they? 

Less angry today but, yes, there's no doubt they did yesterday. We do need to take it out of the umpire's hands though.

If West Coast has a three goal advantage at home we need to be a four goal better side (Confucius)

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
