In a 16 a side comp, can we do 3,2,1?

Agreed.

There's still 21 plus players; we should recognise recognise their effort as much as the men (actually more so as they give up more for less); but if having 2 less players reduce votes: let's make it 5.

5. Zanker -- a real difference maker in the midfield. Saved the game when it looked like the doggies were going to overrun us.

4. L. Pearce -- doing the Max-style kick behind play thing, and doing it very very well.

3. Birch -- had a great game, but occasionally a bit panicky/unclean with her disposal. Fix that up and she'd have been BOG.

2. Hanks -- as always, a smooth mover and good user through the middle.

1. Sherriff -- both tough at the contest and skillful when the ball was on the outside, a key link-up piece in most of our best passages of play.

Apologies: Lampard, Tarrant, Hore, Heath, Gay, Harris (the difference from Cunningham last season to Harris last night was like night and day -- I don't think Tayla will ever quite be the player that her media profile demands, but she'll be a very important structural piece for us).

Thanks for getting this going.

May as well chip in mine from the match report...although on reflection I've switched Birch and Zanker; perhaps I over-compensated in trying to avoid over-rewarding my favourite player.

5. Zanker - As mentioned I've been on board the Zanker train since it departed the station. Especially glad to see her hit the scoreboard.

4. Birch - Saved some goals (and nearly cost a shocker!) but clearly had a big impact in a somewhat depleted backline.

3. Hanks - I always feel like I gloss over her performances, but she's that consistent I feel like I'm just repeating myself. So good in traffic, so balanced. Hope we're saying T.Hanks on W Award night.

2. Sherriff - Glad to see some love for Sherriff above too. She's come a long way. Desperate and courageous.

1. Hore - Wasn't a prolific lead-up game by any means, but when her shots were there, she took them. Which as we know, is kinda important!

5. Zanker.  What can you say? 183cm runs like the wind, natural footballer and can kick 40m+.  Stood up when the side needed it with Karen and Lily off the ground for long periods

4. Hanks.  Also took up the reins when needed.  Just tough and skilled.  Look at her tackling and run from the back pocket in the 1st which eventually created the goal.

3. Birch.  Saved the bacon time and time again.  Had to do it all on her own at times. 

2. L. Pearce.  Clean out of the ruck, and then follows up and then some more.  A nightmare for opposition

1. Kate Hore.  Did what she needed to do when needed.  Just keeps bobbing up at the right time.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
