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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
