Viney - tom mitchell who

Jones - the quiet achiever

T.McDonald - hero we needed

Melksham - a clutch player

Brayshaw - quiet but good

Spargo - same as above

Weideman - more to come (Same as last week)

Petracca - couldn't be stopped

Neal-Bullen - very quiet game 

Gawn - game of moments

Hannan - competed for everything

vandenBerg - kicking was poor

Harmes - great three quarters

Salem - best kick alive

Fritsch - brave and ambitious

Frost - won his battle 

Hibberd - quick and clean

Jetta - never gets beaten

Lewis - safe and tough (he learned what free kick hawthorn is)

O.McDonald - Tough and composed

Oliver - proper [censored] head

Tyson - looked very sore (big last qtr but)

Just wanted to say i think everybody competed tonight. It's all that you can ask for really. Hannan had 6 touches but i think he flew for 5 or 6 marks and created a contest every time. Same as Tyson, he may not be quick or as clean as our other mids but he chased everything and did what he could.

Then you and I are in a minority.  You can add Mitch Duncan and Josh Caddy while you are at it.

Breust is only ever icing on the cake.  In a dominant team, he will kick 4.  MFC supporters and many others have been sucked into his actual individual brilliance.  This guy would have done zilch if he was at Melbourne for most of this decade.

Go to any hot hard final that Hawthorn has played in, and he has done nothing other than the odd 'joe the goose' over the top.

Come on Spargo 2 involvements. Try 7

Mate, I gave Spargo the glass-half-full treatment.

 

If I was brutally honest, the 3 words he would have got from me was "Lucky to Play"

For a glass-jaw like you, just accept the '2 important contributions'.

Tyson is a whipping boy but is needed in the clinches.

Tyson has to 'know his limitations', and sometimes doesn't.

Unlike Vanders, he is so easy to tackle.  Hence, Tyson shouldn't take the tackler on.  Tyson is also treacle.  Lewis might actually have him for pace.  Hence (II) Tyson's radar/antennae for footy awareness must be on-song.

Not bad JB. Agree with most.

Tyson was good in the last. Lucky for him or else he might have gone out.

Melk sat on Sicily according to Goody in the presser so whilst he was quite he did his job as Sicily didn't hurt us.

Fritter made a few bad errors but jeez he has good hands and reads the ball beautifully. Great move putting him down back. 

Omac - aka Dr Cool - played a super committed game. Got pole axed big time at one point in the second q and wobbled up to fight another contest. Ahe is a really nice kick. Fritter, Omac, Salem, Hibberd and Jetts are all good reliable kicks which is super important coming out from our back half. 

The back six and maxy saved us in the second quarter with their fantastic desperation. 

I nearly considered putting Melksham in my votes for his performance because he substantially diminished Sicily's influence. I thought he played a super, selfless game. The two goals in the last were icing on the cake (unless you're a channel Seven commentator in which case, it's "cream on the cake".)

and he should get some math tutoring

I will consult with my English tutor about the non-pluralisation of the word "math" and starting sentences with the lower-case conjunction that is "and".

Stay tuned.

Gee wiz, who was I a tad negative about?

Fritch and Tyson.  1 week later, Fritch is dropped and Tyson conceded he was "nervous" about his selection.

 

 

Your optometrist only sells rose-colored devices.

I was referring to your comments about Spargo which were way off the mark. But I doubt you will listen.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
