Langdon - never stopped running

Sparrow - tough and reliable 

Bowey - wonderful second half

Brayshaw - some important interceptions 

Rivers - solid and smart

Neal- Bullen - better second half

May - gotta love him

Petracca - not as dominant 

Harmes - some useful involvement 

Dunstan - important tagging success

Petty - tight and reliable 

Jordan - a quiet achiever

Fritsch - ten minute game

Spargo - possessions were important 

Hunt - a steady presence 

Jackson - just a game

Brown - needed the run

A few errant handballs cost goals,  #44 wasn’t home alone there. Numero uno coughed up one too. The Goodwin mantra of not dwelling on mistakes applies. Reset and push go.

Gawn - effective

Oliver - GOAT

Langdon - continued his dominance

Sparrow - amazing. Just amazing

Bowey - no surprise, experienced 200 gamer

Brayshaw - one of his best games this year,

proper player.

Rivers - on the up.

Neal Bullen - Sh*t when mattered. Really really poor game.

May - no words really, heading into his own category as a back man. Heading into GOAT territory.

Petracca - Shocking effort. 

Harmes -typical Harmes. Loves the heat and fades out once the jobs done. Pressure and checks out once games over. Barometer 

Dunstan - Got better. I’d persist with him because he failed to handle the pressure that comes with being a Dee, but adapted, pretty rare to see that within the space of 2 quarters. This guy will improve us. But needs to be better than tonight. Needs to be shown tapes of Toby Bedford and bring that to every contest.

Petty - Most promising back in league. Underrated. Good early when mattered.

Jordan - OK. 

Fritsch - always good. 
 

Spargo - Good.

Hunt - below average when it mattered.

Jackson - See Petracca

Brown - see Jackson

Weideman - perfect. Love the intent. Stats smatts. Great game. Keep doing what you’re doing. So confident in this kid. My type of guy.

Pickett - see above. Cannot speak any higher. Really had a crack early when blokes were 100 at contests. 
 

Smith - needs to clean up things a bit but obvious an improving player. See why Gawn likes him, Smith clunks marks under pressure and drops them when not, I can live with that.

All good if no-one reads this, I'm doing it for myself :)
 

Gawn: holding his marks
Spargo: Busy! Costly miss.
Pickett: Another costly miss
Bowey: Smart, Clean, Powerful (for his size :P)
Langdon: Prolific like usual.
Weideman: A quiet 3
Sparrow: Showed unappreciated speed
Oliver: 3 Brownlow votes
Petty: Becoming AA worthy
Joel Smith: WTF was that?
Luke Jackson: Quiet game forgiven
J.Jordon: Vanilla 19 touches
ANB: 2 costly misses (1 inexcusable)
S.May: Fantastic without lever 
A.Brayshaw: Doing his thang!
Dunstan: kept it simple
Harmes: An annoying miss (on the full)
Fritsch: 2 needed goals
Rivers: Finding his groove
J.Hunt: Kept Shai quiet.
Ben Brown: Was impressively unimpressive. (will get better though).
Petracca: important when needed (needs to sharpen up his kicking for goal though)

Petty, Bowey, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, Pickett and Jackson are all young players who have shown that they are close to best 22 in a premiership team. Too early for AA but they all show potential.

And to think that they have many years to learn from playing with Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Lever, Brayshaw, Langdon Spargo, ANB, Hunt and Harmes, experienced premiership players, who all still have many years to go. Add in Weideman and Smith who might still make it to the top.

I cannot recall any other recent team that had so much potential to develop further. But let's keep it to one game at a time.

Can someone tell me why people boo Weideman? I know they're not booing, instead saying 'Weeeed' or something like that? is that right? I just don't really understand it. 'Weeed' sounds nothing like a 'boo'..? I'm confused lol. 
Also the fact that a guy that spends more time with Casey, it's a strange thing that I've never really understood and warmed to. I feel like it's a little cringe. :) Have I missed something?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
