Interesting take by the coaches. Pleased Bowey was recognised and Viney was our standout. I thought Haines played a great game as did the coaches. 2nd week in a row the Intercept defender in the opposition backline has thwarted us. There is one glaring hole in our so-called super-defensive forward line. The plan isn't working 

 

Any idea how many votes Viney is on?

Seems to poll every week and yet isn't on the leader board. Would have at least 19 alone in the Collingwood and GWS games alone.

Sneaky All Aust 40 squad this year?

Josh Kelly just always seems to lift against us and is rarely sighted for the rest of the season. It’s more than a coincidence now . Id love to understand the motivation, because it definitely is there.

10, 3 and 9 in the last three games is a pretty phenomenonal rating for Viney.

Given he has a well-earned reputation for rising to big occasions, I suspect he at least is one player on our list acutely aware of what has been at stake these last few games.

Unfortunately I think there's a couple of guys who are content 'doing their thing' rather than really pushing that extra level. 

For example, Nibbler's pangolin impression has me suspecting that he's happy with doing that much and geting the breakeven stoppage; doesn't feel the need to actually beat his opponent.

I also suspect Hunter, despite being very busy and reasonably good overall, is a bit too content to do his favourite tricky trick with the bounce handballs without really worrying too much about whether it is the best option for both reward or risk.

That's a digression, but emphasises the point that really, everyone needs to be more Viney.

Really? Rarely sighted? He's averaging 30 touches a game. Had 41 against the Lions and 33 and 3 goals against Freo.

To be fair no one notices GWS players unless playing against their side. The exception is when Toby Green creates another outrage.

I think Petracca is on 17 Brownlow votes now. None in the last 2 weeks. 

I have Petracca third in my Brownlow Medal predictions, on 18.2 votes.

@WheeloRatings out of curiosity are you a dees fan or do you post on various clubs forums?

Yes, I'm a long-time Dees fan. I pretty much just post here and on Twitter.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
