and -476 for Salem for his ridiculous dinky kicks, but especially for missing an absolute sitter - not making the distance from 42 metres out.

    6 May - kept the dangerous Curnow on a pretty tight leash.

    5 Viney - four quarters of ferocious work.

    4 Brayshaw - unspectacular but effective.

    3 Petracca - influence grew as the game went on.

    2 Hunter - did more than his share of running and chasing.

    1 Oliver - quiet first half but helped turn the tide in the second.

     

    Biggest disappointment: Salem, usually so calm and cool but the radar was sadly astray tonight.

    4. Viney - forgiven for the volume of clangers because he frankly half the time it was supernatural that he even got the ball in the situations he was in.

    3. Oliver - bit underdone, eh.

    2. Rivers - one of few who really gained ground in useful ways

    1. May - Broke even with the current best forward in the game.

    There'd be some honourable mentions, but I really have to give my own -1 to Salem, who's [censored] pop-up handballs were more likely to get a teammate injured than get a counter-attack going, and whose kicking was all over the place.

    Multiple players had some good moments but simply weren't in it often enough.

    6 - JV 

    5 - Gus just got better and better

    4 - Tracc kicked the winning goal but was robbed

    3 - Hunter 

    2 - Ed

    1 - Clarry had a huge second half very rusty but he has had a huge break from footy.

    Special mentions to our mighty backline May, Lever, Riv, Judd & Bowey and our Skipper who dominated the Ruck contests.

    6. Brayshaw. Hardest I've seen him work.

    5. Viney

    4. May. Did his job.

    3. Rivers. Useful

    2. Langdon. Kept running.

    1. Tracc, 2 goals should have been 3.

    Unlucky Lever

    Just watched the replay.

    6 Rivers - Good in air in greasy conditions and provided great disposal and dash and tight on opponents. Most improved player by miles.

    5 Petracca - the classiest player on ground and hardest for Blues to contain scored the winning goal (which wasn't). Worked hard on defence as well.

    4 Lachie Hunter - clever positioning all night. Not dangerous but always presenting and made a hue goalsquare marking contest save early.

    3 Angus Brayshaw - like Trac seemed to realise Carlton's intensity was more than ours and stepped up and put his body on the line time and time again. But played on influential Cripps for a lot of night so loses points.

    2 Steven May - really strong and provided offensive support with his lovely left foot. Held Coleman winner to two goals and about five kicks.

    1 Jack Viney - gave it his all, but not as clean as the past three weeks, so just the one.

    How can you have no defenders other than Salem & he was probably the worst defender on the night

    Midfield was smashed for a half

    • 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.
