Petracca - 4 quarter brilliance 

Viney - hard and important 

Oliver - seemingly different role

Brayshaw - not his best

Neal-Bullen - some vital intercepts

Gawn - fit and imposing

Brown - an important role

Jordon - better second half

Jackson - exciting in bursts

Harmes - excellent tagging game

Langdon - excellent first quarter

May - great second half

Fritsch - fifteen minute game

Sparrow - was rarely noticed 

Spargo - excellent with ball

Smith - seemingly no errors

McDonald - genius positional change

Hunt - quiet after first

Bedford - some encouraging involvement 

Bowey - continued perfect record

Tomlinson - slowish but effective 

Pickett - needed more involvement 

Salem - a huge loss

    Very good analysis but you were hard on Brayshaw. His defensive efforts were brilliant and I thought his disposal was effective for the most part.

    To say Gus Brayshaw didn’t play that well is unbelievable, you have no idea

    Not to be a scold, but I think that joke played itself out a long time ago (and I was one of the original urine takers who gave joeboy stick over it).
    It has been 4 years since Tyson left after all and joeboy is pretty generous in taking the time to come up with these analyses every week. 🙂

    Why not frame Joel Smith's game in a positive light. Seemingly waiting for the bloke to fail is pretty poor.

    Agree Joel did really well last night I've said this before but those who don't rate him need to remember he has struggled to stay on the park consistently and build his confidence and understanding of the game at the top level

    If he stays fit he has a good chance to continue his improvement and become a very valuable player for us

    Brayshaw -  continued finals form

     

    This needs to be his baseline

    Bowey - fantastic 9 touches

    We're used to small forwards having low disposals and playing well, see Pickett in the grand final, or even last night.

    But I don't think many half back flankers play as well as Bowey did with just 9 touches last night. I thought his defensive positioning and contests were really strong. 

    Along with Hunt, Smith, Tomlinson I thought he allowed McDonald and particularly Brayshaw to get in intercepting positions to provide what we usually get from Lever.

    I was shocked to see he had only 9 touches.

    Also put his body on the line in the last Quarter, it hurt, and he didn’t flinch until the ball was moved on.

    Seemed to be playing half-forward for much of the night. Whether that was to change their on-ball mix (a polite way of saying whether he'd been demoted from that role following the pasting they received in the GF) or he had a particular role, such as tagging one of our defenders, I couldn't tell.

    Oliver had what 7 or 8 free kicks paid against him for iffy infringements and yet when he was infringed against...... Play on. CLUB might need to make representations to AFL if this continues

    Umps just want to make sure Oliver earns his Brownlow the hard way.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
