Yep gave pies 2 direct goals and fumbles alot. 

Doesn't like body contact much I don't think 

Couple of coach killers but still played part in team defence.

Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

Agree but has a role to play. It’s not on the wing.  Can fit in at CHB imo

Im hoping he gets better with some continuity because he wasn't like that at Adelaide, at he's best he was backing into contests and taking intercept marks, still young enough to build on, although we payed through the roof for him

He doesnt like front on contact, not many players do, but he will avoid it. He is a handy third tall. Not much more or less.

I would give him a whole preseason of boxing, has to learn to play dirty, you can't have defenders who are scared to get hurt in big finals. I appreciate he may be a great 3rd tall, intercepter, but he can still learn to hold he's own in a one on one.


I’ve seen Lever commit to a number of courageous acts through the last few weeks, even in the Port debacle.. so I think it’s a bit unfair to say he shirks contact.

Everyone can have off games, think he’s coming along nicely.

Brayshaw - an important connector

Salem - possessions finally effective 

Langdon - just keeps giving

Petracca - excellent, not elite

Oliver - prolific and vital

May - a solid rock

Fritsch - better second half

Viney - normal bullocking performance 

Hibberd - continued solid form

Preuss - was not disgraced

Melksham - took his chances

Lockhart - brave and smart

vandenBerg - glad he’s ours

Jones - cunning but slow 

Weideman  - making an impact

Harmes - disciplined team first

Spargo - great first half

Tomlinson - was rarely sighted

Sparrow - better each game

McDonald - fumbly but improving 

Lever - not his best

Pickett - couldn’t get going 

Spot on Joeboy however I would have put in for Tomlinson - "Did his job". Was at ground and his defensive positioning was good blocking paths where the Pies wanted to go. Plenty of defensive punches in the packs.

Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit 

the time when Gary was going off and giving it to Lever it was actually Hibberd that gave away the holding free kick. He blamed the wrong Mustachio brother

No one saying he shirks contests.


@praha - re: Tomlinson.  He certainly hasn't set the world alight since coming here, but I feel for him a bit.  Was recruited to play on the wing, which we did for a few rounds before we forced him into a back up ruck role.  Got dropped, a bit unfairly if you ask me but to each their own, and has then been brought back into the side as a key defender.  

Poor bloke hasn't had the opportunity to settle into a role yet.  I haven't seen him make any glaring errors and he was part of a back six that dominated last night, so I'm happy to give him more time.

Joeboy - good summary this week!

Petracca    The Big Show .

Clarry          Is The Architect

Brayshaw   Form of 2018

Viney          lead us well

VDB           The hard edge

Langdon   The great recruit

Preuss       Sat on Grundy.

Spargo      Played best game

Sparrow     Boy can play

Salem       Held his own

May           Solid as always

Jones       Played his role

Lockhart  Was very serviceable.

Lever        slightly down today

The rest   All pitched in.

He was the number 1 intercept marking player in the comp and had just played in a GF when we got him so of course we payed alot. 

It's gonna pay off though, our backline is the best its ever been

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
