    6 Langdon - busted his gut all night.

    5 Gawn - solid all-round performance.

    4 Rivers - our only classy midfielder.

    3 Fritsch - accurate goalkicking but still lazy.

    2 McDonald - mix of good and bad.

    1 McVee - seldom rattled under constant pressure.

    Dogs had most of the guns tonight, played like a well oiled machine, extracted some revenge.

    Just back and watched Gawny go pretty much one out against the Doggies and only lose by 51.

    6. Captain Max. Outstanding game, massive hit out to advantage numbers, 9 marks, 12 contested, a goal and did it everywhere.  Schooled last years AA ruck.

    5. Langdon put in something resembling an acceptable effort and never stopped running.

    4. Rivers had pretty good numbers but was largely irrelevant as the dogs mids did as they pleased. Still, at least he tried.

    3. Sparrow appeared a bit interested until the last quarter but was still substantially better than most.

    2. McVee was unobtrusive but didn't make many mistakes.

    1. Fritsch kicked a couple, took a nice mark.

    As for pretty much everyone else, hope you enjoyed watching the game.

    The Dogs are a genuinely good team.  Well done to them on the way they have recovered their season.

    They did but I would sooner have the flag.

    Sadly, none of our boys were in the top half dozen on the ground, but they deserve some recognition on here.
    My take on the better Dees:
    6.   Rivers  -  did nothing to harm the plaudits he’s earning as a future high quality mid in the competition.  Needed more support.
    5.   Gawn  -  on one leg, but attitude and leadership under duress were testament to what we’ve come to expect from Max.
    4.   Langdon  -  busted a gut, and ran up and down the wing providing options all night.  We needed more like him. 
    3.   McVee   -  again showed plenty of composure and touches of class under pressure.
    2.   JVR  -  showed enough to confirm why he’s widely regarded as a future star KPF and back-up ruck.
    1.   Sparrow. -  solid return to the ‘big time’.  Dulled the influence the Bont in the second half.

    6 Gawn - I was a bit worried that his calf injury would render him insipid and when he didn't even jump for the first ball-up my fears seemed reality. But to Maxy's credit he lifted and got on top of English in the centre bounces and he also moved fairly swiftly around the ground and took a beauty and goaled in the second term. Definitely in the best six on ground and definitely still in mix for AA.

    5 Bowey - Like many here, I've been really disappointed with Bowzer after a super pre-season. This was the first game that he actually provided run and his confident play up middle in third was our best passage for night. Gees I hope we try him in the middle one day.

    4 Rivers - He's still not delivering with his disposal but he really looks the part as a tall midfielder. 

    3 Langdon - the running man has had a great few weeks since being allowed to go back to his favoured wing.

    2 Van Rooyen - I think it was the second term when May realised JVR was way out on the opposite wing by himself against a smaller opponent and it was just so good to see our man just be so strong in the contest. He's really come a long way this season and is one reason why we don't have to keep looking for the full-forward any more.

    1 Sparrow - After being dropped last week he came back and really applied himself with more confidence. Was sent to Bont in the second and worked hard on him but the Bont is the Bont.

    Harsh on Rivers and McVee.  Definitely showed up and had good games.  Agree and rated others as 2/10 and 3/10.  Lots of passengers

    I believe that means Max can't be passed now. Unless we somehow have a deep September run. Congratulations to him.  Another wonderful season from the legend!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
