It is not only Clarry, I also think Jones suffers for votes being taken for granted, his composure around the ball, I swear my back gets a bit straighter when he picks it up but haven't put him in votes for ages.

Your right - Jones is the reason Others are doing so well - standing  up in the first possession for advantage this guy is a serious grunt player who can do It all . I had him best on last week for his influence around the stoppage.

Anyone else find it hard to know where to rate Gawns performances? He is so consistently outstanding now it just seems like an average game from him. 20 touches, 4 contested marks, 5 tackles, 2 assists, dominates the hit outs. 

His hit outs weren’t to advantage (clearances) and his kicking lets him down, another shocker at goal today, already cost us one game, please don’t let it be a final

Better late than never...

 

6: Jetta - by a mile, what a game

5: Oliver - can't take him for granted

4: Brayshaw - in amazing form at the moment, love his ability to kick either side of his body

3: Hogan - having a ripper year and in the hunt for the coleman

2: TMac - we are a much better team with him in it

1: Gawn - could have been higher if not for his kicking, particularly that one at goal 

 

Fritsch unlucky

Salem and Lewis were both effective off half back

Melksham did well to battle on despite injury

Ignore my earlier votes, I watched the replay and I would have Jetta as BOG.

That was a masterclass by him.  You would show that game to a young kid on how to play the game.

It's rally hard to see what Oliver does at the ground but on replay and tv you see these amazing little touches, gathers, knocks, gives, that win us the ball but also lots of little defensive efforts through body position, tackling, ball control on the ground and a bit of close checking that make it hard for the opposition to get the contested possession and clearance as well.  So subtle and underrated. 

A bit like trying to decipher a rugby union scrum: lots of by play between the props and there is alway a reason one side is dominating the scrum but it isn't obvious to the outsider/ viewer.

Agree. I thought he’d been well held. His work in traffic was lightening and clean. He plays the game at a speed few find possible.

SF - maybe you are suggesting a few weeks at Casey (a) as punishment and (b) for development.  Pity the development league isn't there any more.  :-(

In what world does Tom Bugg have double the points as Jack Viney? Both played 3 games. It probably shows how well the team has played since Viney's return.

Bugg received those votes in the North Melbourne game when he kicked 4 goals 1.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
