Gawn - dominated when necessary 

Viney - importantly found form

Neal-Bullen -season best game

Petracca - dynamic high achiever 

Oliver - continued Brownlow form

Brayshaw - season best game 

Langdon - four consistent quarters

Fritsch - mercurial and important 

Sparrow - impressive tagging performance 

Brown - provided solid target

Salem - was rarely flustered 

Harmes - played important role

Lever - steady and safe

Spargo - not his best

Rivers - calm and composed

May - dominated his opponent 

Jackson - had a presence

Pickett - couldn’t get involved 

Petty - the quiet enforcer

    At least he kept Andrews out of the game.

    He was back to slow old Tmac

    Needs to give a bit more than that, but on the bright side  -  plenty of upside

    Please, anyone can 'take a defender' and allow others space.   He's not a decoy, he's there to kick goals.  He was well below his best and barely got near it.  4 possessions from a roaming forward with his tank is not good.

    I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Fritsch seems to play decoy some weeks and he is our leading goal kicker. Selfless footy is standing us in good stead.

    Pretty spot on tonight Joeboy. Hopefully TMac picks up in the Prelim.

  • Quote

    You know, players don't have to have high stats  to play well. I watched TMac tonight and he played an important role in clearing space, that is what makes a great team, like when Gus was getting low stats, but played the defensive wing position and the sacrifices he made were so important. I give the whole team my 3 word analysis.

     

    Great team Effort

    He is an absolute [censored] on the field. Pseudo tough guy. Hitting guys who don't want to retaliate and get suspended.

    @Basher wondering what you're laughing at?

    I thought Rivers looked a bit nervous early in the first, with some uncharacteristicly rushed disposal and position, but settled well and played his role. 

    Of all Joeboys 3 words it was the one I didn't agree with.

    McDonald - Important to Structure

    Cmon he was average at best, I’d replace him for the prelim, he’s got to do more than be a decoy.

    Melksham or the Weid for mine

    You want to bring Weideman back in for a prelim when he hasn't played since Queen's Birthday?

    No way. It's not happening barring injury.

    Melksham at least has been in the seniors at some point in the last 3 months.

    There are a lot of punchable heads in the AFL. But this guy is not only a complete nuffy he’s also a bloody average footballer. At least Toby Greene is a gun.

    I’m very relaxed in the knowledge that Brisbane tried being tough guys but got taught a lesson. Yet again.

    Brayshaw - season best game

    Yep, and not unexpected either

    Big occasion player as he possesses an important quality - Class.  In his element tonight

    His deft touches, knock ons & release possessions were immense.  High IQ player.  His wing was often the attacking aspect tonight 

    I had him as one of our best players tonight along with Max, ANB, Clarry,  Viney,  Petracca & Salem

    Gawn was B.O.G ... the man is an absolute warrior.  What a player & leader!!

    Anyone who thinks Brayshaw is a poor player has no idea. This is by far his best season ever. 3rd in the Brownlow can get stuffed. Give me 15 years of this from any player and I'll be rapt.

    What we now know about Brayshaw is that he is the ultimate team player

    He's a natural onballer/link player/released player who is needed to shore up a wing in a defensive role.  And he does it without any fanfare

    But tonight was different ... suddenly his wing became an avenue of attack and Gus was front and centre.  Kudos

    We had many good players tonight but a few who have previously copped flak shone through ... notably ANB,  Viney & Gus.   Rivers was back to his better form as well.  Looked assured all night

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
