    bedford playing thru the midfield has a little bit of shai bolton about him

    Unfortunately he can't kick like Shai Bolton. But seriously Bedford is nowhere near as polished as Bolton. Can't question his endeavour though.

    JVR has a lot of raw talent. He reminds me a lot of Jack Riewoldt. 
     

    He still needs time to develop though. Hopefully he gets a few games next year in the 1s but don’t expect miracles for at least another 1-2 years.

    Maybe I'm the world's worst judge but I think Weideman has been absolutely outstanding in this game. He has taken on two experienced campaigners in Ladhams and Sinclair and destroyed them. At ground level they haven't got near him. Must have a big tank as he has rucked throughout the day. This is his role. Back up ruck pinch hitting forward and back as required. Impressive.

    Can’t see T Mac playing Friday after this hit out. Been ok but needs another run

    Bedford’s pressure and tackling has been immense. Some pressure on Spargo I’d suggest. A few less fumbles I reckon he should in the firsts

    i dunno, they both miss their fair share of shots on goal!

    can only see him playing if we lose the QF against the Swans and need to change up the forward line again for a semi final...

    JVR has a real crack and looks good.

    FD must have been tempted to give him a game during the season.

    I’ve liked Sam’s game but Sinclair isn’t near afl standard, he’s well and truly ready to retire and has done a lot of the ruck work, and Ladhams isn’t very clever. Weid’s always been solid and clever at ground level as a follow up ruck.

    A back up ruck at afl level still has to play forward about 50% of time and make an impact. And they have to stand up in the ruck for 20-50% against actual afl rucks or back ups, who provide a sterner test aerially around the ground.

    Weid can do that role but whether he can do it consistently enough to hold his spot at afl level I’m not convinced .

    Strange team Casey

    50 point win but once again no one really starring in a pushing for selection sense

     

    I don’t really think we are hoping for blokes to push for selection at this stage. The seniors are settled. If there are injuries though, we have some depth. Guys that play our system.

    Casey are a tough group of players Swans have been dishing it out all game and they are getting a good footy lesson. Very proud of our boys and how we play the game.!!!

    I think the Weid is playing ok

    Probably won’t please those with the ‘Weidicide’ agenda but Campbell Brown on 7 suggested with ‘Jacko’ apparently about to deecamp. A vacancy ‘may’ exist for a backup ruckman/forward. Given Weed has battled manfully against two AFL hardened opposition ruck men and performed competatively. Maybe there is a crack of light at the end of the tunnel.

    Needs to impose a little more around the ground

    Rucking alone is not enough in the AFL

    It would be great if Sam could play 2nd Ruck next year. Big Job, but i would love him to pull it off

    Grundy is on too much coin and won’t play another 5 years

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
