22 into 6 won't go, but on a more serious note:

6.  Viney

5.  Hibberd

4.  Oliver

3.  Pedersen

2.  Vince

1. Salem

That was a seriously difficult assignment, and probably doesn't do justice to the likes of Truck, TMac, Jetts and Jonsey.  On any other weekend, they would have been in my bests.

Had trouble putting them in order, but think they were the best 6.  Wanted to squeeze in Jones, Vince, Tom Mac and Jetta but couldn't.

6 Oliver (hard for me not to give him this after criticising him lately. Not once did he turn backwards and compile stats with an easy unrequired handball. Brilliant and what a goal)

5 Hibberd (how good was he! Plenty of tricky moments to cope with - the Wags handball over his head etc - but he was beaten only in one of them - Eddie's magic goal).

4 Viney (he's back. I just feel sorry for his girlfriend. Imagine him coming at you all the time!)

3 Petracca (when you are Mr Cool in the cauldron that we witnessed, then you've made it. He has. We now have two young superstars and a host of other goers).

2 T-Mac (I know some of you don't get it with his kicking. But if you actually watch his impact, he's in everybody's votes. I just wish Jesse would take note.)

1 Salem (Started our regroup in the second with a courageous handball to Lewis and was precise and clever from then on. Why he's been playing midfield is beyond me.)

Apologies:

Jones and Pedo - Hard to believe that they could kick five between them, do their roles, and miss votes, but I stand by my choices.

Vince - A serial pest in Adelaide. Sometimes we need to tag and the element of surprise helps. Normal role next week please though.

6) Viney - dominant, fearless, inspirational

5) Hibberd - if he played for any other team would be being talked up as unanimous AA selection

4) Petracca - looked like a Dangerfied clone when he went on to the ball. That contested mark and goal just screamed confidence. Total beast.

3) Clayton Oliver - made Jacobs hitouts look worthless. A genius reader of the play.

2) TMac  - his move forward helped turn the game.   Goodwin is a proactive coach.

1) Bernie Vince - obliterated Sloane

Unlucky - Salem, Jetta, Pedersen, Jones, Frost

Hibberd has been fantastic, but he has played three games, so wouldn't be in AA contention at the moment. The fact that he plays for the MFC rather than someone else has nothing to do with it. 

Other than that, pretty accurate I reckon.

Your votes shouldn't count if you don't have TMac in there

Sorry Billy. Couple of useful things in the third doesn't cut it for me compared to the six chosen.Two goals, two excellent contested marks and two goal assists were good though.

6 - Viney. Complete game. Drove us forward always (and through them).

5 - Vince. His role was so important, Sloane drives them, Vince took the keys. 

4 - Petracca. Forward and mid he was great. Too strong, too good. 

3 - Hibberd. Mops [censored] up, gets us out of pickles, strong and smart, ripping game. 

2 - Oliver.  Because Oliver. 

1 - I really can't decide between Tmac and Pedo. Both structurally important. Both played equally well. .5 each. 

That was difficult. lol look at the players that missed out.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
