For a bloke that put his mate into next week, Rohan definitely played a good game. 

 

So  I think this works 

is there another way ?

Rohan   5 and 5

Stewart 4 and 2 

Tracca.  4 and 1

Close.          3 and 2

Viney           3

Lever         1

Imagine letting Rohan score a perfect 10 against you. 


Sad to see Oliver so far down the list.

It's a strawman. Unless you think Butters polled his 70+ votes against us...

No its not... not ar all. Not conversant with the goings of the Port Game ?

A certain adversarial player was opening us up. So much so even our brains ( sic) trust gave consideration to him.  Then decided to leave him alone. That is nor my summary..that's on record ( somewhere)

The man who allowed Butters free reign... Simon Goodwin.

In life you can only control ( affect ) the things you can. Here he [censored]'d up.

He clearly didnt give due respect to the player. Others have .

You might disagree... your prerogative.

And the vast majority of touches were to 3/4 time... when we were ahead.

Our players didn't get the job done in the last.

FWIW, I would have played Viney on him, but it wouldn't have mattered at all, if JVR hadn't havegiven thstfree kick away or Chandler kicks his goal or Fritta kicks his.

Zak got 5 votes from both coaches.

Man of the match.

We need to make better decisions.

Viney to him might have worked but Jacks efforts are more valuable..imho.. possibly what the box thought.. who knows.

Id have sent some Terrier with a tank.to just wear him as best as can.... just niggle him..  even Spargo could do that.

Anyway...my point was we cant rely on our game alone. All well and good to back in.our blokes....need to lift eyes and accommodate theirs too ...at times..  jmo.

I dunno…..I had him pretty high up in my votes at quarter time. 👀

Viney himself was tagged that night as referenced in Ollie Wine's post match interview

Who'd da thunk such things.....

The opposition apparently.. 

I wasn't at the game - not many visiting supporters ever do down there 🤮 even if they want to - and relying on TV to get a broad view of the game is impossible as they love to zoom in or more recently show the players legs at ground level.

Was anyone "on" Rowan??  He seemed to have free rein from what I saw.

Exactly. I'd have tried to throw the tag by shifting him across to Butters, but we should have won regardless and didn't get the job done.

Maybe , just maybe he's suggesting Goody shouldn't let him get 42 touches next time.....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
