    I found it extremely difficult to separate my top three.  A lot was asked of them, and they did the red and blue proud in demanding circumstances.  The next tier was also difficult, and a few were unlucky not to feature.

    1. Oliver 4.80 / 1st - just over Hibberd....over use of handball when a quick kick i50 will do just as much damage a high percentage of time

    2. Hibberd 4.08 / 2nd

    3. Watts 2.93 / 11th - no hit out stats included but a 2.93 score around the ground was only bettered by Big Maxy in Rnd 2 vs the Blues where he scored 3.28!

    4. Garlett 3.73 / 8th - our only effective forward who also played a fantastic 2nd half much of it up the field, admittedly most of the good work after half time.

    5. Hunt 4.03 / 3rd - ran out of steam with about 10 to go in the 3rd but was brilliant up till then.

    6. T-Mac 3.95 / 4th - undid some of his solid early work in the 2nd half with some costly one on one losses but he was taking their best forward.

    Michael Hibberd's terrific debut was rewarded with plenty of points but Clayton Oliver was very good too and he increases his lead on the progressive points table.

    42. Jack Watts
    41. Nathan Jones
    28. Jayden Hunt
    23. Jeff Garlett

    The first four were easy (although ordering them was hard). The last two were near impossible to identify.

    6. Hibberd

    5. Oliver

    4. Hunt

    3. Watts

    2. Melksham (yes, truly)

    1. Vince (yes, truly)

    Viney was great in the first quarter, Petracca struggled manfully and creatively in patches, and Tom McDonald was good when he wasn't actually anywhere near Jack Reiwoldt.

    Incredible to see that Viney does not have a single vote, what a strange year he is having so far.

    Watched the game AGAIN on replay. Oliver was a bull but ineffective in disposals. 30 plus possessions but should use handballs more wisely

     10 turnovers... ouch.

    He can be a Star but needs to run and deliver. The kid must be taught how to use his power. His extract to GARLETT  showed his ability.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
