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!

They are all playing their roles superbly; however, those roles are different and upon looking at the lists of great players for the match, it is next to impossible to rank players of a team when they are doing different things so well ... and then they merge these differences into a team effort for success. Their skills are seen but these come into play when opponents make mistakes and errors of judgment. Some receive from Fook Ups more frequently than others; some just beat opponents through mindfulness; some combine either setting-up a multi-carriage of the ball or just participate in that chain; all do what is correct for the team more often than making their own mistakes to impede the team. We are at a peak at present - fewer errors of all kinds, more effort to multitasking responsibilities and improved judgment across the board.

Lever,  Lewis, Salem, Jetta and Hibberd are all unlucky, primarily because the midfield did such a good job, the ball didn't come their way often enough. When it did, they repelled very well. And Gawn is unlucky because I'm only allowed to give votes to six players.

  • 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.
