A lot of right statements but a few well off in my opinion.

 

Oliver gets 26 touches and 6 score involvements and we’re like “meh” 


Brendon Bolton - won't sleep tonight

His team got picked apart at the seams. Great performance from the Dee's, insipid performance by Carlton players.

I said that at half time in the game day thread. I thought he was average and only had 8-9 possessions, had a look and he was leading all with 14.

A broken finger and surgery earlier in the week will do that...!

Spargo kept Simpson to 19 touches, a great defensive effort

Was that his job? If so brilliant 

Most are spot on, although the comments on Spargo are way off the mark.  Unless they want to rest him there is no chance he is getting dropped for Garlett.  His footy smarts, toughness and pressure acts are invaluable at the moment.

I’m disappointed at the lack of Clarry Choo Choo love in your favourite player section.


Hogan, Look closer please

Jono Brown talked it up during the game, he ended up with 4 direct goal assists and a hand in multiple others. Great sign of maturity that he doesn't have to kick a bag to have a big impact on the game. Suggest joeboy has another look at the game.

Tough on Vince. He had one bad kick out and everyone acts like he's a massive liability. Been solid all season.

Very enjoyable Sunday!!

Jones. Still a liability.

Are we talking Liam or Nathan here?  Think carefully about your answer.

Yup he'll have one bad kick and at the same time be the player willing to take the risks successfully kicking down the corridor when our backs are against the wall. Really important player at the moment. Was more worried about him trying to take players out again rather then the one errant kick.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
