Rivers - great first half

Spargo - limited but effective 

Viney - great first quarter

Sparrow - effective holding game

Jones - justified his selection 

Fritsch - had limited impact

Jackson - an almost performance 

Brayshaw - rarely imbued confidence

Can’t argue with most of that, although Jordon did well imo. I think he adds important balance to our midfield, and had 20 in the end.

Jordon with a game high 9 tackles along with 20 touches. Pretty bloody good for a second gamer. 

 

I love Joeboy's analysis every week, but one thing we seem to keep forgetting.  It's a team game.  We dominated possession and given it is only round 2, hopefully the errors that irk us all, will gradually be ironed out. 

 

I'm pretty stoked tonight, given the occasion and what that occasion would/should have meant to St. Kilda. 

My 3 word analysis?  You Bloody Bewdy.

 

 

Joeboy - most positive analysis

 

But Jordon was good. Does the hard stuff the let Oliver and Tracc do what they do.

And Kozzie - he's a star

 

Agree with most but Spargo was very effective. Always busy and always good vision

Off just 65% game time


Just thought I might put this in here if that's ok 'joeboy'...

Where are all those Oliver can't hurt you knockers tonight?

Hah, hah, hah...

Harsh on Jordan.

Absolutely - joeboy must have gone to the kitchen to make a cup of tea in the second quarter when Jordon got 10 disposals.

I thought Rivers' second half was better than his first!

Harsh on Jordon and Spargo. Playing their roles superbly at the moment.

Joe boy sees things his way.  Then we can read all the corrections.

we all see things in our own perception 

great to have a basic analysis, even if I don’t agree ...often even.


Completely wrong in regards to Jordan and Fritsch took most of our marks inside 50

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
