    Very tough on Brayshaw. He was very solid tonight.

    Generous on Tomlinson who I thought was beaten numerous times tonight.

    Jordon may be rarely sighted but had 22 touches and provides an important link in the chain.

    Tough on Brayshaw again. He doesn't need 30 disposals to play his role for the team.

    He also got absolutely smashed in a contest and has been playing in defense. He just does the team role every single week. 
    When he ran on without a helmet I was just thinking his poor mum must be beside herself.

    A class act. Way ahead of Hunt now in value and effectiveness.

    Angus Brayshaw committed and courageous

    Alex Neal-Bullen career best form

    Jayden Hunt hiding to nothing

    I normally don’t try to justify myself but in the case of Brayshaw’s analysis I will explain .

    I’ve marked him hard because his disposal by foot is regularly problematic, nothing more nothing less.

    And for those who think I have an agenda , he’s in my top 4 favourite players

    Hunt won’t play seniors when Salem/hibbo are fit.

    Thommo looked like he was 5 weeks off the pace early, got better but tbh if Petty wasn’t injured he would be at Casey building form. 
     

    Kozzie needs to start around packs further out and just fly past, they grabbed him slightly a couple of times last night, be out a bit further and the umps will see it. And he would move opponents all over the place.

    Who did he tag?

    Agree JB he can spray a few but some of his foot passes last night were terrific. Hit his intended target laser like  lace out. Massively impressed by his courageous return to the field and performance after being seriously ‘collected’. Given his history of concussion. It was a big hit.

    So Neal Bullen has played a lot more midfield minutes so far this season and he’s been really really good. But I can’t help thinking that we miss his forward pressure and the downside of him playing midfield is that the ball is leaving our forward 50 with much greater ease now.

    I just can’t believe how this guy has turned his game around. A couple of years ago he was my number 1 delist and now he is a fixture in our team and deservedly so. Well done ANB.

    Agree TC zi thought Angus kicking and disposal was excellent last night both in style of passes and consistency on very good delivery.

    Jordon was good and I thought Tommo saved us plenty of homes in defence.

    Kudos to all in defence msybe Hunty was off but all the others stood up well and teamed together and agsin put pressure in the Suns in attack as did the mids.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
