Your three words for McVee were very well crafted.

joeboy as a body of work your 3 word player analysis at the core is pretty spot on. But the path to transcendence is not always whole or smooth. Just the ocassional ragged edge to tuck in.

Neil-Bullen -just a game ?

or

Neil-Bullen - significant team contributor

( 6 tackles, equal team highest), (17 disposals at 76.5% efficiency), (including one goal scored).

Tarax Club.   Agree re ANB - underrated as usual

Rating the top 3-6 players is an art... rating all 23 is a skill

Respect to Joeboy for attempting it

One of my must reads.. post game

 

Oliver wastefull??

OLIVER ..MASTERFUL BALL USE!

Oliver has set ridiculously high expectations. I thought his disposal was very good for the most part and I've noticed that he's been taking a lot intercept marks lately. 

While Petracca and Viney were both excellent, I thought they were just as 'wasteful' as Oliver.

Yep thought Nibbler was very good.

  • 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.
