6. The Waterboy

 


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 Langdon

5 May

4 Max

3 Tomlinson

2 Oliver

---------

 

6 - Langdon - despite that kick in.

5 - Max

4 - Clarry

3 - Tomlinson

2 - May

1 - Tracc

Our bottom eight were abysmal, play some kids at least they will have a go.

 

6 - Langdon  

5 - Clarry

4 - Max

3 - Tomlinson

2 - May

1 - Petracca?


6 LANGDON

5 GAWN

4 TOMLINSON

3 RIVERS

2 PETRACCA

1 OLIVER

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?

Just no.

Harmes stank despite appearances

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


6.  Gawn

5.  Langdon

4.  Tomlinson 

3.   Oliver

6 or 8 Sydney players all ahead of the best of that lot.

I'm too gutted to concentrate properly.

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

Petracca - no, not this week

Yep that’s fair

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • 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.
