I thought Windsor was good today.

Rivers and Salem tried pretty hard too.

Rivers - lost his dash … what game are you watching? At 591 metres gained, Riv was ranked #1 in todays game, most often with a running burst before a long kick!

Laurie - Replace with Sestan

Chandler - replace with Tholstrup

It's about time we played some big-bodied clearance beasts instead of two undersized school boys

May, great after first?

as the general down back played terribly. every time they went fwd they looked like scoring 

Except for the 20 times he repelled their attack.

Gawn - performed as expected 

Rivers - lost his dash

Salem - poor under pressure 

vanRooyen - showed some energy

Pickett - didn’t convert chances

Windsor - couldn’t get involved 

Viney - off the pace

Oliver - disposals were amateurish 

Fritsch - poor first half

May - great after first

Neal-Bullen - a disciplined performance 

Petracca - there goes season

Sparrow - continued poor season

Laurie - a schoolboy footballer

Bowey - had little influence 

Turner - a year away

Howes - two years away

McDonald - impressive under pressure

McVee - was rarely noticed

Langdon - career worst game

Billings - nothing to commend

Chandler - was he playing?

Petty - offered team nothing

Sparrow should have couple weeks at Casey 

Lawrie can go, he’s just no good

Billings & Petty can go, never again, Petty is already in Adelaide, just going through the motions at the moment, he’s a waste of space.

McDonald was great I thought. More then 3 words but here is another 3 word précis.

WTF

Thought May was pretty poor today. Uncharacteristically a momentum killer, he constantly got sucked high up the ground leaving 1 v 2s on the last line often, the guy was totally at sea today.

That mark in the 3rd where he went to play on and handball it straight into Jack Crisp a metre away was pathetic and his weak effort on Hoskin-Elliott right on the stroke of half time when we desperately needed to not concede was unforgivable. This was a very un-Steven May like performance and i'd expect him to be pretty unhappy with it too.

How he is still getting a game is mind blowing, fumbles, fumbles then when he does grab it either gets caught or turns it over. Get rid of him. 

Why wouldn't we turn Sparrow into a tagger? Seems the ideal body type and is ready fitness wise to do just that. Instead we are sacrificing an incredibly important player to our structure like ANB on Daicos.

Daicos would have just run off Sparrow.

ANB ' s value is his commitment to any role he's given

Some teams have more than one of those allowing coaching choices

Couldnt be asking for more form him.  Very dependable and deserves some praise.  Team has never been the same since he did his foot in 2022

ANB is the most disciplined and unselfish player in probably the entire competition. He is the only player on our list capable of executing a heavy tag to absolute perfection.

I would play Viney more as a half forward when Nibbler is in the middle, to counterbalance that defensive minded attack that we miss when ANB isn’t there.

Although he faded in the last, I thought he was very good. Particularly in the first and second where he showed some great skill and dare weaving through pies players.

I think Windsor is going to be a real player, even on days where he’s below par, he still puts in and his presence is more than his slight frame should allow.

Jvr too.

Not that he was bad yesterday.

He's still getting bigger and learning his craft. Will start holding more of those grabs after his powerful run and leads to the ball.

Just needs to drop and soften his hands and impact of ball and more will stick.

Great leap so he plays like he's four inches taller.

A future and hopefully long term star at the Mfc.

Long may we hear roooooooooo.

If last week was rock bottom, it’s not all doom and gloom. Points margin of loss was decreased by 41% from the previous round. 

 joeboy - comic genius works

Max Gawn - monumental in defeat

Trent Rivers - endeavour lacks finesse  

Kysaiah Pickett - wayward [censored] genius

Christian Salem - ying or yang?

Caleb Windsor - kid goes alright

Jacob Van Rooyen - showed some spark 

Bayley Fritsch - press play now

Tom McDonald - centred amongst kaos

Alex Neal-Bullen - Nibbler does daicos 

Steven May - matchup from hell

Christian Petracca  - gallant at Gallipoli

The rest - little meaningful impact

Next encounter - Clarkson smells blood?

Nice ,until you claim he's the best in the entire competition ..supporting your team doesn't require extreme hyperbole. 

No  I don't know enough of all the other teams to say who is " better" ,but I did say his value to the team just that.

He's underrated for sure

Hopefully the " coach" will leave him back where he's at his best in his sunset season(s).

Tom is one injury away from the end, and it must be demoralising to be finishing up in a rubbish team like the one he spent so much time in early on. 

He's been admirable so far this season

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
