Tomlinson. Wow. He disappeared for most of the night. 6 kicks. 

Did the job on Hogan though.

    Hogan had a shocker. He fumbled about 7-8 marks and slipped over many times and gave away the ill disciplined 50 penalty.  Not great conditions but others did mark the footy ok. Hogan only had one good moment in the last minute.  Tomlinson was not terrible but had no influence or sight on the game.

    Having watched the game at length now, I'm happy to go with:

    6 Rivers - yes he's a kid but he really tried to take us forward all night. If only he converted his two shots. 

    5 Gawn - Yes he was involved in two of their goals but still a massive presence which we all tend to underrate.

    4 Viney - our hardest worker, but like his midfield colleagues missed targets so his intensity, not his influence, gets him these votes.

    3 Fritsch - our cleanest marker on the night and hit more targets than others.

    2 May - how many did Taberner kick? Our three talls down back kept their three forwards goalless.  May did more offense work than Lever and Tommo, hence his votes.

    1 Petracca - brilliant third term but unlike his hot spell mid-season, struggled to be clean with his disposal in the conditions.

    6. Gawn - again comprehensively beat his opponents, some big marks on a terrible night for marking.

    5. Viney - an excellent effort, with some effectiveness.

    4. Rivers - a steady and sometimes brilliant game. A big future for this lad.

    3. Fritsch - wish he went a bit harder but he is a genuine talent.

    2. May - although not up to his recent high standards he did his job and kept the Freo key forwards quiet.

    1. Petracca - toiled hard and kept himself in the game.

    I have re watched the game and Gawn made a couple of bad blues but he is held up to such a high standard.  If any other ruck in the league played that game in those conditions they'd be lauded.  Against a couple of decent opponents too. Very impressed with Rivers.  I think he beats out Jackson and Pickett as our best first year player.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
