Also good solid efforts by Hannan, Tyson, and Nibler.

Ps forgot Omac couple of bad turnovers early but had a decent game after. The Omac haters will just focus on the turnovers but he wasn't Robinson Crusoe there

Well said re: OMac

Worthy mentions to the two Mac's, Viney, Oliver and Hunt - if only he nailed that on the run shot on goal in Q4!

Apologies to Hunt, Salem, OMac.

Petracca and Watts the high votes for match winning efforts. Jones was probably for all 4 qtrs same with Hibbo.

Surprised so many have rated Watts' game over Oliver's.

We were getting belted in the clearances in the first half and Oliver was one of the keys for us in getting the ascendancy in that area in the second half.

His last quarter was fantastic. With enormous pressure, fatigued bodies and a greasy ball, he was one of the few who could cleanly pick it up off the deck in traffic and get the ball going forward for us.

As for Watts, I thought it was more of a "moments" game from him, especially the last quarter goal and then the touched ball on the line. He was also on Howe in the first half and was beaten. I'm not saying he didn't contribute, he had a decent game and did well to come back from an early injury. And no doubt his class in the key moment in the last quarter was telling.

But for me it was the turnaround in the contest and at the stoppages (and then the run from guys like Hunt) that turned the game around and Oliver was a big part of this.

Hunt has the run, he has to learn to not just drop bombs: he needs to fire straight darts.

And here are the Coaches' votes. I had Jones as best on ground so clearly one or more of us has a bit to learn.

MELBOURNE v COLLINGWOOD
10 Christian Petracca (Melb)
4 Jeremy Howe (Coll)
4 Steele Sidebottom (Coll)
4 Clayton Oliver (Melb)
4 Adam Treloar (Coll)
3 Nathan Jones (Melb)
1 Michael Hibberd (Melb)

Oliver with votes from 8 games out of 11.

And every time in those 8 matches he's been awarded votes from both coaches.  I can't be bothered trying to work it out, but I'm virtually certain he would have again considering the breakup of votes for QB.

The players with 4 votes each must have been 4-0, 0-4, 2-2 and 3-1 (or 1-3). So, without going to any other sources such as comments made in media conferences, there's a 50% chance he got votes from both coaches. And a 50% chance he didn't.

Four players on four votes means that at least one of them was 4-0. The others could be 2-2, 3-1, 1-3 or 0-4. This gives Oliver a better than 50% chance to have been given votes by both coaches.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
