6. Hoges presented, ran his opponent ragged and brought teamates into the game 

5. Brayshaw - fantastic over 4 quarters and using the ball so well and strong at the clearances

4. Lever - very polished performance and very composed down back

3. Oliver - we take for granted what Clarrie does, he just does it with ease

2. Viney - Was typical JV hard at it and along with Clarrie Brayshaw and Max dominated the clearances

1. Nibbler - don't underestimate his running to create options and be vital as link up through transition.

Apologies to Bernie, Melksham, Hibberd, Jones and Jetta

6 - Brayshaw - The guy gets better each week. Works so hard. This is what we waited for

5 - Hogan - An impossible match up right now. Does damage anywhere.

4 - Jones - Another Nathan Jones game. Rarely wastes a possession

3 - Viney - Back in a big way, accelerating out of contests 20 contested possessions. Not 100% match fit yet but getting there. 

2 - Hibberd - Always uses it. Responsible for many good plays off half back.

1 - Lever - A man possessed! Frustrated Crows attacks repeatedly.

A lot of guys were stiff. Maxy was sensational, would back him in against Simon Madden right now, Nibbler is back and lethal where it counts, and Milkshakes who is just a score involvement merchant.

Not the best performance overall yet great at times. Bad errors mixed in with some great play so we still have room to improve even on today’s great win.

In terms of real impact I saw it as:

6. Hogan

5. Hibbo

4. Viney

3. Lever

2. Melksham

Bit surprised at Salem, thought he made lots of mistakes and disposed poorly.

Salem was very effective in the first half especially linking up across the middle and half back.

I would like to have fitted Lever in RTG because he played a top game under enormous pressure but jeez Clarrie just got such a shitload of the ball!

He's a Romsey neighbour, isn't he?

Chook, I am the consistent glass half full guy not the guy that is ecstatic one week and threatening to throw myself off a building the next if things go pear shaped. We were generally good today but better sides will make you pay more for skill errors then the Crows did today.

Just out of interest the top 10 players statistically based on a weighted compilation of averages after Rnd 10 are....

1.  Clarry  5.14 (weighted score)

2.  Viney  4.37*

3.  The Jones Boy  3.74

4.  Lewis  3.69

5.  Gus  3.54

6.  T-Mac  3.52

7.  Hogan  3.50

8.  T Smith  3.41*

9.  Gawn  3.19#

10.  Harmes  3.10

*Denotes only 2 matches played so far ie., very small sample size vs others shown.

#Does not include hit outs to advantage, a stat specific to ruckman only.  Adding a token 0.75 to Maxy's result for example, would provide a more accurate picture of where he would likely be sitting if one was able to include the stat and somehow make it relative to the other scores.  That would put his score at approx 3.94 just behind Viney and technically at No.2 if you excluded Viney from the count having played only 2 matches so far vs 10 for Big Maxy.

I think if we have a better than 10 goal win we should allow for some extra votes because it is for sure a team winning in style. BTW 7 points Goodwin.

that said:

Hogan-it was 28 degrees people,  and he ran like an Ethiopian and kicked straight and a few score assists. 

Angus-how damaging is a player that can use both feet.

Hibberd-(Lever as am alternate) early on this pair ruined every crow attack

Clarry-(Gawn could just as easily sit here) Contest King

Viney-the crows were scared of him.

Jones-taken for granted, he is still a beast.

finally... Jetta ANB Melksham are ripped off.

Think i am going to google some SA newspapers and maybe the SA forum.

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
