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.

McKay wasn't playing...

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.

Brayshaw better second half

Dunstan  connected better later

Gawn eventually clunked some

Melksham strictly cameo goal

Brown - was very poor

74 inside fifties and kicked 2 behinds

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.

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

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.

Brayshaw - had a stinker

Brown - had a stinker

Gawn - had a stinker

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)

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
