Everyone was better

even Jack Vineys improvement from the GC game to the rest of the season was massive.

Wonder if he was told that if he kept trying to break tackles instead of setting clarry or Trak loose he would lose his spot (no matter how much Goody loves him). Only mistake I can remember from him in a fantastic finals series was his kick deep inside 50 in the second quarter of the GF to   no Dees and 3 dogs.

    Kozzy for me, went from 7.13 goals last year to 40.28 this year!  Outstanding for any small forward let alone a 19yo one. 

    Gonna be a fan fav for a long time! 

    Jackson not far behind and Petty was excellent too.

    Harrison Petty for me, he fitted into the back 6 like a duck to water.

    The whole team has improved from that scrappy first game of the year against Freo.

    At  the business end starting in round 23 I have seen the most improvement in Tom Sparrow. Touted pre draft as Dangerfield like with his pace and strength he has gone form strength to strength, he is strong, quick and knows how to kick a goal. He is no longer the first one you think off to drop and has gone past Jones and now Melksham and is adding great depth to an already formidable midfield.

    Jackson deserves a mention because he is now clunking his marks and has so many strings to his bow.

    Just so many.. Wouldn't like to be the one to decide! As others have said though, Kozzy & Fritsch have improved immensley, Petty is a lock down back now, Gawn improved his tap-outs (less 'clever' to effective), Oliver running out of congestion, Angus doing Angus things (in a good way), ANB setting us up as the connector....Goodwin.

    Most improved…. Kicking

    a working forward line and goals to points ratio

    all timed perfectly to peak for the finals

    I think the bottom 4-6 players as a unit have all improved but the one player I noticed yelling at much less was ANB 😀 so he takes the cake.

    Most improved. Basically the whole team that played on GF day (incl Jordon) plus Hunt and Tomlinson 

    Top 3 

    Third place. Jayden Hunt. Showed real steel and attack from half back.  Was back to his 2016-17 form  

    Most improved runner up.  Kozzzy Pickett. Went from the potential to be, to being a dangerous small forward. 

    Most improved Winner. Most improved. Bailey Fritsch. 60 goals. Great year. Accuracy was the key.

    Everyone makes a good case here. 
     

    I’ll nominate Tomlinson. Absolutely [censored] myself when he went down. Would never have thought that would be the case. 
     

    Let’s get him a medal.

    I watch the after match celebrations and Pickett tried to give his medal to Neville Jetta but he refused the gesture, which make Pickett the most selfless.

    • 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.
