In a time when we can’t buy goals, Melksham kicks four and he isn’t top vote getter for everyone?

I love Petty but come on, people.

Bit mystified by the praise heaped on Petty. May was much better. And I thought Gawn was outstanding. Brayshaw had a heap of disposals, but many of them were terrible.

 

I watched the replay this morning because I thought I must have missed something about Petty's game watching from the lower level of seating last night. But no, nothing changed. I saw a serviceable game, nothing more. Petty gave away three unnecessary free kicks (a quarter of Carlton's total received). He has a bad habit of pushing his opponent in the back when caught behind (see the Pies' crucial last goal last week). Yes, he saved a couple of goals, but isn't that a defender's role? Agree that May's game was far superior. Curnow's lack of influence had more to do with Carlton's delivery (or lack thereof) to him. It seems to me that many people casting votes here are influenced by the TV commentary rather than using their own eyes..

Honourable mentions;

Adjudication;

Despite the disparity of free kicks. forward fifty free kicks favoured the Blues. These are 'gold tickets' in close games. Fortunately Carlton's forwards couldn't  deliver.

Broadcasters;

Back to plan B contenders triumph pretenders sent packing.

Overall Comment;

Cathartic and season defining

Agree. Petty played a good quality game. He is a favourite on here though. May was better imo

And rightly so! Go Clarry!

He is well and truly down the track of being one of if not the MFC's greatest ever. No-one, not even Robbie or Barrassi, were as consistently superb as Clayton. Thats my opinion anyway.

A fair take. I hadn’t heard the TV commentary when I did my votes and maybe had him a little high but I had really liked the way he played Curnow on the night. I watched it again and agree disposal to him wasn’t flash but Petty had the aerobic capacity to go with Curnow and to hold a guy leading the Coleman to 1 goal and 1 inside 50 mark wasn’t a bad effort. 

Thought some of the frees that went against him were brutal as well.

Confident that this will be the finishing order in our B&F 

though Max missing games may drop him down 

May might get #5 which would be a good reward for another very good year imv

Can I give all 21 to Melky. He actually kicked 5 goals if the BB out of bounds wasn't called and he made the tackle on Silvagni at the death which should have been holding the ball, and was every time against us in the same part of the ground the week before. Should have been 6 goals including the sealer.

… and we shouldn’t forget who fed the ball out to Kozzy which resulted in THAT goal. 👍🏽

4 votes for Salem is a big standout here. And before everyone reminds me of his injury and missing games, 4 votes is still a massively understanding for a man of his capability. Hoping he can find some late form.

Off topic here.

 

But wasn't Saids tackle and dumping of Kozzie holding the man?

Kozzie no longerchad tge ball and he was rag dolled to the ground 20 seconds later.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
