5. Viney

4. Max

3. melksham (no mean feat beating Sicily!)

2. Lever (back to his best)

1. Gus 

These I  think     far easier to pick who played poorly,   though I thought everyone was jogging in the first quarter.

No votes at all for Oliver and Trac. Both failed to make a contribution although Trac did exert himself in the last quarter.

apologies to Hunter, May and Langdon 

average -,Bowey Sparrow, Mcvee, Tomlinson, Smith, ANB, Chandler 

below average today - Kozzzy , Trac, Oliver, Salem

Laurie worked himself into the contest but might miss out next week 

Schache only played a soft 25 minutes (he is as physical as a 12 year old schoolboy) 

ARE YOU SERIOUS, Oliver ran his guts out in the last one and a half quarters and even though out of form , was a solid contributer! WASH UR MOUTH OUT

Clarry was well beaten today. 6 possessions up until half time and 14 in total.  He battled on and tried but was well below average.  99 metres gained.  It’s ok to say he was below average (he’s aStar and we love him) .  McGuinness did a job on him and held him until moved off him onto Riv for the last quarter.

6) Rivers - our leading possession gatherer and is becoming a serious AFL player.

5) Lever - Playing his intercepting  best football. 13 marks is incredible impressive.

4) Viney - another brilliant hard working game. His disposal and decision making has dramatically improved.

3) Melksham - His presentation and marking up to the football was outstanding and he kept the scoreboard ticking throughout the day. He has that wild card vibe about him and needs to be in our finals team.

2) Brayshaw - Good midfielder’s performance. Is now a key fixture in our midfield.

1) ANB - was out of him or Sparrow for the last vote, but we’ll give it to ANB for his milestone. Having a dramatically improved 2023 compared to last year.

6, Rivers, a weapon off the HB line, great news as Salem's radar still not working as one would hope.

5, Lever 13 Marks, in great touch, and in a sign of how well our backline is functioning he was able to provide fwd. 50 defensive pressure, because they are such a unit.

4, Viney, the guy is Steve Austin, plays as if he has a stunt double doing the work, but no it is him every time doing the work.

3, Melksham, took Sicily out of the game who has been having a great run. Can forgive 4 straight misses ('cos we won).

2, ANB, 150 games busting a gut for the Red and Blue.

1, Brayshaw, team player par excellence

Sorry to May/Langdon/JVR (nearly gave May a vote for his 4th qtr mark, love that he is moving well, always scared about those hammies.

[Deeoldfart 8,162]

6.  Lever  -  outstanding intercepting game.  Possibly saved our bacon.

5.  Melksham  -  fantastic as a defensive and attacking forward.

4.  Rivers  -  fantastic again, and going from strength to strength.

3.  Neal-Bullen  -  anyone who criticises his disposal today is a ‘bum’.

2.  Brayshaw  - purely and simply a work-horse, and did almost everything right.

1.  Viney -  another ‘lead by example / heart & soul’ game from our VC

Apols:  Sparrow,  Langdon, McVee

@Dee Dee  I thought ANB was ok. 15 possessions.  Only 1 tackle. No goals. Had 2 golden chances with shots from 35 metres and both failed to make the distance.

6. Lever - solid throughout and controlled the game in the second half

5. Rivers - looked the only player who could run with the Hawks in the first half

4. Melk - poor finishing and some drop marks cost him but he was all over Sicily early and the best forward

3. ANB - crucial contest wins and some very good ball use. Didn't finish off his own shots but did enough other important work

2. McVee - held Breust to 2 (one from a shove in the back), won a number of vital contests when out numbered and had some lovely use too

1. JVR - solid and important in big moments

Gus, Viney, Langdon, Gawn unlucky but it wasn't a day for the mids

I thought he really gave the forward half the zap it needed after halftime. 
 

His bullocking work when the ball was in dispute was first class.

Fair enough. It’s interesting how many thought it was him at an absolute ebb, but he can still find votes. Pretty great player, I guess.

Well beaten? The man has been out 10 weeks I thought he worked his way into it and was a STELLAR performer last one and a half quarters!😇
