I was at the ground but a long way from the Richmond end.   So only saw close half the action.

both Grundy and Oliver got better as the day went on.

So 6 Grundy

5 Oliver

I thought Lever was very good Rivers, Bowey, McVee  and Pig  all composed

4 Lever

3 Chandler had a great day

2 Fritz  got better

1  Van Rooyen      took marks like the Ox did when he started   fantastic

Apologies

Rivers, McVee, Hibbo, Spargo, AnB, Tracca, Hunter, Langdon Sparrow, Bowey and others

yep thats what I was looking for. 10 min to go 3rd quarter Sydney was coming and we couldn't stop it (and they kicked points). Who stood up ? Oliver and with great defensive efforts all day. most tackles with 7 as well (interestingly JVR next with 6).

Petracca good but very sloppy, tried to do to much and disposal average 

Not quite as polished as we'd like but had some big time clearances in the 2nd half.

He needs to think less and kick more inside 50. He often misses the chance to have a quick snap and ends up stuffing the ball or hand balling to trouble.

That's right, sometimes you just need to have the 'throw it on the boot' mentality.

“The whole team”

Opposition Hyperpole watch;

T Papley; beyond the usual cameos, wider audience mercifully spared the full bantam rooster routine back to feather dusters.

L Franklin; it appears now only deigns to participate when the spotlight is at its brightest, centre stage. After the now too brief high octane moments fades like yesterday’s star into the wings.

From the director’s chair;

Congratulations to Simon Goodwin and the off celluloid support crew. Another brilliant production with fresh ideas, innovation and new faces. But with no hint of throwing out the baby with the bath water. 

Adjudication;

Remained anonymous as they should, although a hint of over-zealousness has crept in with the fourth. Overall much more good than harm.

Broadcasters;

BT managed to keep the amateurish bombast largely in check. Cameron Ling has actually improved, with the addition of some intelligent insights. An enjoyable listen overall, guess it goes with being on the winning side.

 

 

 


6: Oliver

5: May

4: lever

3: Rivers

2: Langdon

1: Petracca

 

Unlucky: Chandler, Grindy, McVee,

  • 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.
