It would seem the Essendon coach doesn't subscribe to the umpiring plot theory.

Interesting, this.

Both coaches agreed May was BOG.

Then the coaches barely agreed on anyone else in the top 5 (e.g. one had Lever 2nd and no Gawn, the other had Gawn 2nd and no Lever).

 

Maybe he's pee'off Hurley wants to come to us as well

I thought Merrett was clearly 2nd best on ground

His high possession count wasn’t very damaging. Sometimes disposals aren’t everything. May was a giant out there. He is worth his weight in gold and silver!

Absolutely, just thought he was better than our others

Good to see both coaches derate stat accumulation. Both Merrett and Parish did plenty of number collecting up the ground, but didn't hurt us. 


Not surprised there was such a large spread.  Brayshaw and Gawn were excellent but not widely lauded - neither appeared in the media best players lists yet from my view at the ground they were both instrumental in the win.  May was an obvious choice for best on.  Lever was effective and probably played a game better than 4 votes but that's how it goes.  I thought it was only an average Oliver game and Petracca's goals were the difference in the end despite his 42% disposal efficiency. Heppell and Merrett were the Bomber standouts.  Heppell is a terrific player and a very good leader.

May was head and shoulders above Merritt on impact on the result.  He was good getting the ball so much but votes are about right in terms of who influeneced the outcome,  incl Lever, gawn, Oliver

We had some good players, some brilliant. So did the Essendrug few. I was personally quite impressed with Brayshaw's game, the thinking and variation of achieving the best outcome from his 'getting' of the ball. He has lost the panic in his football, as well; this enables him to pick his best targets, not just support nearest to him. A vital cog for our team game. Onyer, Gus.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
