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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
