    Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts

    The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly “limited involvement”), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and I’m sure the coaches aren’t as down on him as a few posters have been lately. 

    Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.

    Salem - contest work underrated

    Put his body on the line repeatedly tonight.

    Yes he didn’t star but did what was needed.  Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.

    They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

    Why in the world would AMW need a “rest”?  He ain’t Joe Biden 😴

    Thanks Mel.  These pressure acts are mostly unseen by the fans at the ground - many of whom still want “kick it long” - but are incredibly important in the structure of the team.

    Looking forward to binman’s stats analysis tonight.

    Surprised when he was ‘rested’ during the final qt Saturday night. Certainly was fully invested in the team performance prior to that. May not have the finesse of Salem or Bowey but his combative, take no prisoners attitude has been noticed. Mentioned in dispatches by the Channel 7 commentary and didn’t take a backward step in the contretemps V Jake Stringer.

    It seems like sacrifice acts &  pressure acts are back the last 2 weeks.  Very enjoyable

    Good assessment JB.

    I thought Oliver was very quiet in the first half and on the bench longer than he should have been.

    But he can alive as Oliver of old in the second and it was heart warming tuff.

    He Langers, Melksham and Nibbler were back to their sublime best.

    Rivers and kozzie in the guts too were fantastic.

    I've argued all year our midfield has been down on impact this year but it seems to have turned the corner.

    Despite having no ruck we won the clearances in the wet when we have lost a lot of games on these conditions.

    As mentioned numerous times Melksham in or fwd line makes it go from average to dynamic.

    He is a super hard matchup for others and we now have an easy 100 point kicking  fwd line.

    Apart from his sliding smart goal to a vacant goal square, his kick to Turner was pinpoint accurate such that Disco didn't have to break stride.

    Can't wait until Max is back and Jvr gets to play fwd with the others and not so much ruck work.

    As good as Kozzie is in the middle I'd like him fwd as much as we can spare him.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
