    In order to respect the award, I've come up with six. No correspondence will be entered into

    Langdon. Ran, presented, worked hard. Clangers forgiven.

    May. As usual worked hard under pressure. Maybe tried to do too much.

    Max. Won the ruck. Some good grabs. Maybe needs to hit wider more often. They swamped us.

     

    Tomlison. Had a crack

    Brayshaw . Had a crack

    Oliver.         Got plenty of it but didn't hurt the oppo enough.

    6. Gawn - won his position with ease.  13 hit outs to advantage and half a dozen big marks.

    5. Langdon - ran himself ragged

    4. Tomlinson - a very good game from start to finish

    3. May - at least he looked like he was trying

    2. Oliver - many disposals, most of which were rubbish

    1. Brayshaw. - that he gets a vote on that performance says a bit about the other 16 who took the field.

    6 - Gawn - Marked strongly. Won the taps, realised he had to even do the clearance work eventually. Rushed his late shot on goal.

    5 Langdon - This guy has the most amazing tank. Felt sorry for him with his two last term kicking errors because as with Gawny, he was a standout and normally would have got Brownlow votes.

    4 ANB - Our other non-stop worker and he set up quite a few of our goals as well, despite copping a nasty knock to the midriff.

    3 Oliver - A bit of hot potato early but eventually got going and realised he was our only real chance of providing midfield run.

    2 May - Went forward for five minutes and did more damage than our other key forwards did all game.

    1 Joel Smith - Sydney's most dangerous forward kicked how many and who was on him for most of the game. Yes he didn't provide any run, but he provided plenty of pressure. Was it his fault that the coach went for three bigs and Wags around him and just one running player Rivers and one precision small - Salem. Blame the coach, not the player.

    Note: Tomlinson was the other player in contention for the one and again looked good when he went back to defence in the second half, but Smith had the tougher assignment.

    I don't know! 

    6. Langdon (trys his guts out for 100 minutes).

    5. Tomlinson (Looked switched on)

    4. May (seems to care)

    3. Harmes (appeared to be trying).

    2. Gawn (But the lack of leadership and structure worries me).

    1. Oliver. (8 clearances but kicking atrocious)

    For the first time this season I am passing because I have no idea. In most games no matter the outcome there will be players who stand up in adversity but today? There were contenders of course but really I just think the errors blotted out their good efforts. Max tried all day but could he once tap to our advantage? I will need to watch the replay to understand what he was doing with his dominance. Langdon was the obvious BOG for us but then misses two pot shots and coughs up a kick out that just cancels out all his good work, overall he played well but I can’t give votes for basic errors that cost us 2 missed goals and handed them one. That is almost the difference. Oliver, Tracc and Viney had their moments but were totally outplayed by the Swans unit. Sorry on today’s important must win game I can’t give anybody a vote! First time this season or any season I remember. 
     

    oh and as an edited addition I should mention our coaching. What was the game plan? The bombing into the forward line destroyed our forwards so I am not blaming Brown who looked good early and Weid but I can’t give them votes or the smalls who can’t function as crumbers as the ball is just lobbed up for the opposition backs to mark. Why the dumb football?

    yeah, maybe. Admittedly, as a defence mechanism I only wanted to pay half attention to the game!

    Fair enough. Unfortunately, I was sucked in to watching the train wreck

    Yep that’s fair

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
