Featured Replies

 

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

    ............ and all of Lever, Oliver, Nibbler, Melksham and Vince could be added to that list, and not a single Demonlander would quibble!

    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

    1. ANB

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
