Not sure who gave who what

Trac 5/5 = 10

Clarry 4/3 = 7

Chandler 3/2 = 5

Brayshaw 1/4 = 5

Pickett 2/1 = 3

 

I reckon Clarko gave Oliver 4. He basically killed the game in the first quarter. Made sure it was done and dusted. 
Great to see Kade recognized too! 
 

Bloody Trac is why Clarry won’t win a Brownlow by the way. And why Trac won’t win one either.  Rude 😂

 Let Carlton supporters salivate over Brownlows and Colemans. I'll take Premiership Cups and Norm Smiths any day of the week.

I'd have Clarrie over Dangerfield any day of the week. Can't understand why he polls so well.

If Dangerfield copped half as much as Oliver did RE his kicking it would be a miracle.

I think we all understand that blokes who win the ball inside and bang it on the boot under pressure aren't hitting targets as much as a loose outsider.

Because its Dangerfield. He will run the AFL one day. Everyone just loves to fawn all over him.

Same way that they tell me how great Hawkins is, because he literally decapitates his opponent each week so he can take a mark, and the umpires let it happen.

Imagine if Gawn could do half the [censored] Hawkins does... he would be taking 95 contested marks a game.

Because it is a modern medical miracle!!

 

Seriously, how do you “accidentally” break someone’s jaw with your motionless hand when handballing?

Well @Jaded No More, you either don't know the meaning of "literally", you don't know the meaning of "decapitated" or you were exaggerating for comic effect.  My money's on the last of those options.

Yes first votes this year for Brayshaw.  He’s had a moderate to quiet start to 2023. But he proved his quality this week.

No coincidence that he played more midfield minutes and got votes. He’s wasted down back but I understand why he’s been down there.

Was interesting that Sparrow, Jordon, Kozzie even Harmes when he came on spent more time in the midfield. Perhaps after quarter time they thought with a 10 goal lead it would be a perfect time to blood them? Even saw Tracc and Clarry dropping back to half back on occasions.

Tough on Dangerfield..more people hate him than recognise how valuable   he is to his team.

You need to grow up

When Clarrie can produce a coherent sentence people will realise how good he is.

I really think he did his best work across half back though. His intercepting work was a real weapon for us and complemented the intercept marking of Lever, Rivers, May.

Most of his possessions were down back too, only a few in the middle.

Where in my post did I say he was not a great footballer?

I said he will run the AFL one day. He has a finger in every pie and the media love him. 
Just because I find him and his club insufferable, doesn’t mean I don’t recognize what a great player he’s been over the journey.

I think in general because the game was done within 8 minutes and the other defenders had their forwards covered, he was able to play a lot more loosely and run off and impact forward of the centre more than usual. 
Had a great game as a result.

Ha ha my bad..

I read  that you wrote " ruin" rather than "run "!! 

In my defence I was born in Geelong and other than the home ground advantage favouritism thing I still have a soft spot for them. 

Last years premiership team was  "complete ", brilliantly prepared  and Selwood and Dangerfield firmly turned the game when required after half time.

I hope Trac and Clarrie can become as precisely effective as  career partners. 

I rather be playing the Cats for this year's flag than last year's.

I detest Richmond who were the Club that stole MFC' s home ground advantage

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
