Featured Replies

 

6. Gawn - what more can the man do

5. Viney - an outstanding game on Cunnington

4. Fritsch - a super forward game

3. Frost - great work on the probable Coleman medallist - a soft goal from a downfield free and then another as a result of Oliver's 50 m penalty.

2. Lewis - despite his bad turnover near the end still uses the ball better than just about everyone in our team.

1. Oliver - lots of it but lots wasted.

    MAX -  You won't see a better game from a ruckman

    Fritsch - Permanently up forward next year

    Harmes - Plenty of it and showed a cool head for the most part.

    Oliver -   Ball magnet as usual ( some questionable disposal though)

    Frost - Did the business on Ronald Mc Donald head.

    6. Gawn (outstanding leadership)

    5. Frost (great job on Brown)

    4. Oliver (prolific although efficiency poor)

    3. Fritsch (always a forward)

    2. Viney (disposal a worry)

    1. Stretch (best efficiency on the ground)

  • Quote

    6.Gawny - take a bow, dominant BOG performance  3 Chas votes, AA 22 sewn up and Bluey all sealed today

    5. Fritsch- good 4 quarter performance, good leading patterns, good link up ball use and forward threat all day

    4.Viney - toss of the coin here between he and Frost who both won their battles against 2 of Norths best 3 players and by taking Cunnington out of the game helped us win the clearances and limit opportunities for Brown 

    3. Frost see above,  did the job on dangerous forward and cost him the Coleman 

    2. Trac - set game up early, made good decisions and was good around midfield in bursts

    1.Clarry - I didn't like his defensive running which marks him down but finds the ball, important at the clearances and just so important to our midfield dominance today

    6006 Gawn - an absolute giant of a game 

    5 Frost - beat the Coleman medallist 

    4 -Fritsch  why did Goody even think he should be played in the backline

    3 Harmes Gives 100%+

    2 Viney A captains game

    1 Stretch. Now can he stay injury free.

    6.  Captain Gawn

    5.  Viney - might have found a niche, keeping in mind Cunny is slooow too.

    4.  Fritschkreig almost a blitzkreig!

    3.  Frosty quite a show on Bob

    2.  Tracc VG in splutters & spurts 

    1.  Clarry (hoping he starts looking beyond his immediate vision / circle as first option & clear to outside ball users more often in 2020)

    HM to Harmes...worked his butt off and one of the few effective two way running mids.  Demerit points for the inexplicable stops and props that may have cost us a shot or two at winning the game.

    6: Gawn, and congratulations on an excellent season-well played!

    5: Frost, a bit of a toss up but sh*t you’ve improved this year. I expect even better in 2020!

    4: Viney, I still love you even if others don’t! (and, anyone who owns a Bernese Mountain Dog must be OK)!

    3: Fritsch, really becoming fun to watch!

    I didn't get to watch the game but listened to about two-thirds on SEN. According to the callers (Peter Donegan, Terry Wallace and Tristan Fernanda), Gawn was not just clearly the best player, but also played one of the most dominant games of the year. Demonland agrees.

    So can anyone who saw the game explain why The Age in its votes, where they give five players votes out of ten, gave Higgins BOG with 8 and Max equal second BOG with 7? It just seems inexplicable to me based on the radio coverage, both that he wasn't BOG and also only got 7 out of 10.

    He has been treated very harshly in the media awards this year.  A few weeks back when he got 5 votes in the coaches award against St Kilda, Warwick Green didn't list him in the best and said that Marshall beat him. The Herald Sun has been even harder on him, but at least they gave him the three this week. He'll get 3 Brownlow votes - nothing surer, but I think if Grundy was given 8 for Friday night, against an underdone Bellchambers then Gawn was at least a 9 for his effort against a fully fit and very in form opponent.

    That Brayshaw could finish 5th shows you just how bad we were this year. 

    Coming off a top 3 brownlow finish his season was probably not far behind TMacs in terms of disappointment of the year .

    I'd be staggered if he gets 1 vote this year

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
