Does anyone know how Smith performed?

Two Rivers. One I assume is McVee who does quietly destroy opponents!

McVee a lock in the top 10 in the B&F. I wouldn't be surprised if he is top 7 or top 8.

Bit tough on Bill Laurie who came on late in the third and had 9 touches (4 contested), 2 inside 50's and 4 score assists.

He was great.  Right man at the right time

Laurie had 9 touches, 4 score involvements and 2 assists in a quarter and a bit. I thought he was good when he came on.

No goals, 7 disposals, 5 tackles, 3 marks, 206 metres gained. I thought he did well today, applying pressure. Bit tough to measure a crowded forward line on the small SCG.  But I am a bit of an optimist and barrack for all of them.

Yes I know it’s very inconsiderate of me, and obviously it’s music to the ears of many, but now is the opportunity  for any budding 3 worded trainees to give it a go and open up a whole new career for a week..

joeboy - pulled the rug!

Salem worked his way into it. Pivotal in the last quarter.

Who the [censored] is Alice??

Also covered by Pink in more recent times.

Alice was Alice Liddell, who urged Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) to write the story of Alice in Wonderland.

Turner, Fumbly on occasions

Bit harsh only a 2nd or 3rd game (after injury in his first). O thought he did not look overawed and shwoed a lot of potential (and I am not his Aunty!!)

Bill Laurie has shown enormous improvement. Give him a few more games and he will be very handy

I dont think it was too harsh at all

He was "Fumbly on ccasions"!

I noticed he had a lot of clever touches in not much space.  Possibly too willing to hand the ball off to better credentialled team-mates, but you often see that with guys just finding their feet.  If he starts to back himself in a bit more he'll be more eye-catching.

Bang bang to be precise 

To be precise I included an earlier ,"bang" to set the scene.........gap......"bang bang."

Which made it 3 words.to be even more precise I might have needed 5 words .

Is that OK  with you?

Very good appraisal

  • 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.
