Perhaps, though he was our 3rd highest for clearances behing trac and Oliver as our other mids weren't getting it done. Was a huge part of our momentum in the 3rd in my view. Got smashed all night and still provided a better target for us down the flank and wings than our other talls. He's not going to clunk contested marks in these conditions. Most of our players were poor tonight to be honest, perhaps an argument could be made for Hunter to be in there.

And finished with 22 disposals, 1 goal 2 and our second most clearances. Probably the main driver of our comeback in the third and the only one that looked like he could carry the team to victory.

I'll concede Gawn didn't play a great game. I just fail to see who played any better.

Most of our team was rubbish tonight, I don't know why I'm bothering arguing semantics about who was slightly less poor than the others.

6 May - kept us in the game during that dreadful first half.

5 Petracca - based on the second half only.

4 Oliver - also lifted his game after halftime.

3 Fritsch - at least he can kick straight.

2 Grundy - was better than Max on the night.

1 Rivers, but hard to choose on a poor night for many.

I don't think our midfield deserve any votes because when they were bad they were atrocious,. but no-one else stood up so ...

None of the mids tonight.  They were completely outplayed.

It's not that simple unfortunately. One or two mids can have good game and the whole midfield thrashed. Oliver, Viney and Petracca at least got us back in the third quarter. Supporting your argument May and Fritta were the only ones to really win their positions.

Melb's problem is the depth of it's midfield compared to the good sides. Butters, Drew, Rozee, Boak, Horne Francis, Wines, etc are better than us. Collingwood has even better depth.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
