Gawn - dominated when required 

Oliver - top Brownlow votes

Petracca - good not great

Brayshaw - a liability early

Sparrow - assumed Viney’s role

Fritsch - quiet but classy

Jackson - successfully performed role

McDonald - our best forward 

Lever - back to impenetrable 

Dunstan - excellent first half

May - showed who’s boss

Jordon - a reliable connector 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Pickett - did just enough 

Spargo - ultimate team man

Bedford - speed was impressive 

Bowey - uncharacteristically quiet game

Rivers - tough and reliable 

Melksham - had little involvement 

Petty - very quiet game

Brown - couldn’t assert himself 

Langdon - please return quickly

Hunt - was rarely required

    Generous assessment of Gawn, today was not his best. 
     

    McKay had the strength to negate Brown’s height advantage.

    Ooops, Who the big oaf on Brown? I didn’t have a record to check & know none of the North players.

    I thought Brown and Gawn had their poorest game for the season. Dunstan was a butcher in the first half can't see that he was excellent in the first half.

    It was Josh Walker. Corr was on Tmac.

    Brayshaw better second half

    Dunstan  connected better later

    Gawn eventually clunked some

    Melksham strictly cameo goal

    Lever was Best on Ground for mine. Went quiet when the game was done but otherwise he killed every contest he couldn’t mark.

    Plays from behind far too often for mine.  Needs to work harder (Earlier!!) to get front position and keep it.

    Plugga Mac, while no super star forward, works his [censored] off in this regard and sometimes gets rewarded for it.  A few examples of this during the game tonight.

    Agree he should have kicked somewhere between two to four goals (minimum) tonight given the amount of entries.

    Did you notice a player in number 13 for us?

    He was so far BOG, that he may have got all 6 votes from the umpires and I for one would say that wasn’t even enough.

    I have never seen anyone do some of the things he does.

    We had Robbie the most skilled player I have ever seen.

    We now have Clarrie, the best contested possession player I have ever seen, who I am simply in awe of and am so grateful he is one of ours.

    Thank you Jason Taylor.

    All three had worst games for 2022 so glad that's behind them.

    Yeah, nah.  Brayshaw started terribly but worked his way into the game.  Gawn was asked to play a different role - He and Jackson had a near 50/50 split of centre square attendance.  We actually won clearance well and Gawn was two straight kicks of having a great game (1.2 v 3.0).  Brown didn't play well but it'd be the first time in a while.

    Of course I saw Clarrie, Petty was down, May was quiet, lever killed contest after contest.

    Ive said here that I think Clarrie will more than likely be our best ever player by careers end. But Lever to me was impassable, when north surged, there was Lever.

    And I don’t care what the umps do with their midfield award, I value more than possessions (that’s a dig at umps, not Clarrie)

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
