Oliver - couldn’t shake opponent

Chandler - clever small forward

Pickett - great first half

Hore - tight and reliable 

Sparrow - tough and skilled 

Lever - quiet before injury

Brown - little to commend

McDonald - another steady performance

    joeboy - keep on punchin’

    A consistent and fair appraisal overall. Goody in his presser seemed pleased that Sammy Mitchell persisted with his master tagger. Just leaves the hawks one short offensively at the centre bounces and ball ups. The Demon onball collective appeared to enjoy an even team orientated performance. Clayton Oliver contributed manfully with 23 possessions despite quote ‘couldn’t shake opponent’ and being the focus of some extracurricular physical attention. With 14 disposals in the Round 23 clash last season that triplet would fit. Given the coach’s tactical response and the fact that #13 had an over 60% improvement in possessions this time.

    Oliver - cunning plan gazumped 

    Ed watch 26 disposals at 76.9% DE 4 tackles at 92% ToG%. 

    Langdon - kicks klicks quick

    Young Caleb’s GPS data must be impressive considering his youth. Great addition to the Winger’s club.

    Windsor - has the tank

    Nice on Fritta - loved it when he outbodied Sicily to mark and goal in the last qtr, who went down like a sack of spuds

    Good to see him back to his best.

    As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals.

    And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more.

    With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room.

    Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals.

    I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest.

    I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps.

    I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs.

    Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

    Petracca - laser like bullets

    van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman

    Petty - versatility is gold

    Howes - most improved player

    Windsor - pace to burn

    That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

    Having seen the replay, I suspect the damage to May's ribs was caused by Chol landing on top of May who was partially lying sideways on the ground. I doubt it was the collision itself (and even if it was, Chol did nothing wrong).

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
