Lovely mark from Howes. Goal good. The float in mark better. 

 

Jeez what a clunk by Blake Howes! Reminded me of Jack Gunston the way he just floated across.

I feel for Oskar Baker. Has been so consistent at VFL and not once I don't think he was named VFL level. If a bloke deserved to be rewarded on form then it was Baker.

Pitty form at VFL level is irrelevant. 

Repeat efforts from JVR

Crazy to think he couldn't get a gig, too.....!

 

JVR sure loves the contest.


Got some good young kids coming through in the VFL. Shame none of them could get a go this year but the future looks bright.

@Lord Nev are you Tom's father? Genuine question!

 

JVR is everything we have wanted this year up forward. Contested marking, pressure, not giving up, ground level play. Glad he had a year to enjoy ragdolling VFL defenders. He won’t see them again.

Weideman is SO much better in the ruck 

Field kicking is elite. Low and hard.

JVR, AMW, Oskar, Chandler, Bowey all playing well

Some depth there to draw on next year

But Goody won’t make any changes 

Bowey has only had 3, but has been very important in the centre clearances getting up to the play. It’ll be good to have him back next year. 
too bad Howes only had a few games under his belt. There is a lot to like there.

I agree. We should acquire Meek in the Jackson deal, and have Meek play VFL and back up for Gawn. Also play Weideman in Jackson’s current role but more as ruck relief for Gawn but gives us that extra forward. Free up the Grundy coin for someone we actually need.

Also his hands in close for a big man are impressive. He’s a creative player. He’s just not made for that lead and contested mark role. 

Quarter Time: Casey Demons 3.3.21 lead Brisbane Lions 1.2.8

Goals Grey Howes Moniz-Wakefield 

Disposals Dunstan 8 M Brown Grey Tomlinson 7

McDonald and JVR both bossing a VFL kid for sure but that’s good alternating of useful talls in the ruck contests 

foot to the throat now boys

How was the around the neck not paid to Bedford when the Mathieson was. Pathetic 

Happy for the initial contact not paid, but the second guy who jumped on Toby’s head has to be paid 

lmfao how did we almost stuff that up?

  • 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.
