People who don’t have Oliver in their six.

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

 

6. Salem

5. Oliver 

4. TMac

3. Lever

2. May

1 Fritsch 

 

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

Harsh mate. I thought he was at the coal face all game.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
