Sorry. Only reason  why I didn't have him is that he handballs over the head to opposition countless times.

    Thought the top 4 were pretty clear. You might argue about the order.

     

    6.  Salem.   Cool calm collected

    5.  Lever.  How many saving marks helped by Salem and May

    4. Tmac.   Great goals and important marks

    3. Oliver.   All over the ground

    last two votes. Could have gone to almost any of about 6 or 8

    2. Spargo.  See Oliver above all over the ground and a couple of clutch goals. Involved in many scores

    1. May.  We have a fantastic backline

    AnB. Hunt Langdon Harmes Hibberd Rivers Jordan Weid Kossy Brayshaw Frittata all deserved a vote

    Re : Oliver

    It’s his role in the team to be “at the coal face all game”.

    What he does when he’s at the “coal face” then decides how well he has played.

    I'm sometimes critical of Oliver especially the hot potato handballs but today he was superb. Great four quarter effort with 10 tackles, 7 clearances and plenty of hard work.

    I know right.

    I never comment on votes but seriously...

    I missed the first quarter but I think this should still be about right:

    6 TMac - immense, yet again

    5 Lever - on a difficult marking day he yet again shon

    4 Langdon - he just keeps on keeping on

    3 Oliver - he’s so important to our team, I just wish he could improve his finishing on goal

    2 Hunt - his run and tackling was massive

    1 Chandler - for copping the Gatorade and milk in the song (WTF guys?!)

    23 touches (2nd most for melb)

    16 contested possessions (most on ground)

    14 kicks (only 9 handballs, so can't be that many wasted)

    10 score involvements (most on ground)

    6 clearances (2nd on ground)

    10 tackles (2nd most on ground)

    348 m gained (9th on ground)

    2 goal assists (most on ground)

    1 goal, 2 behinds

    26 pressure acts (4th most on ground)

    4 inside 50s (=6th on ground)

     

    He was at the coalface, and was probably the most damaging player on field.

    That Carlton had more inside 50s than us and we repelled them is why Lever was higher rated in my opinion.

    It’s Clarrys 11 clangers that consistently lets him down. Had a great game for getting the footy and driving us forwards.  I still put him in the votes but his disposal and decision making can still improve him and the team.

    Re: Oliver

    We can all see the game differently.

    I base my opinions on what l see in a game.

    l also give my votes without referring to the AFL live app for the stats.

    Stats can be misleading, ie Inside 50’s.

    Oliver was OK, rated him just outside the top 6.

    Agree with you on Lever, rated him 2nd best.

    I understand where you're coming from but there is a clear correlation between high disposal players, and high contested possession winning players and high "clanger" players. His average clangers is high but not out of the ordinary.

    Also remember that while he had 11 clangers, 5 of the clangers were "free kicks against".

    His extreme value today was the fact he won the ball 16 times in close quarters, and he had 10 score involvements.

     

    His career clanger average isn't much different than Cripps, Fyfe, Dusty, Tim Kelly etc. Cleaning this up won't be what makes the difference in his career. It will be when he has the scoreboard impact he had today every week.

    I gave my votes first; the stats are supporting this argument though.

    I was about to say the same thing as I scanned through the first page of posts.

    It honestly makes me wonder if I’m watching the same game.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
