[whatwhat say what 22,552]

only watched the first half and then went home

i didn't think gawn did much in the first half; did he do enough to claim a 7th all oztrayan or will it go to xerri, a clearly inferior ruckman?

i thought pickett was great - only player who looked lively forward of centre

salem the best of a bad lot and i guess mcdonald was decent in the air defensively

Thats why he wont get a vote from me either! Getting slower with dodgy strings and dinky kicks resulting in turnovers

Was a hard watch at the ground.  Defensively really poor. Votes are difficult to give in this one but there were three standouts for us who everyone has identified.

6. Gawn - beat Cameron convincingly on a night that didn't favour the big men. 20 disposals at 75%, 13 contested, 5 clearances, 5 marks and 3 of those contested as well as 25 hit outs.  

5. McDonald - a heap of intercept marks.  Did a decent job on Hoskin-Elliott who wasn't a major influence.  A good end to a decent season and worthy of another 12 month contract.

4. Pickett - Koz looked our most dangerous and destructive forward all night. When he's on he plays with real spirit and last night he had it.

3. Salem - a massive second quarter, where he amassed half his total stats for the game.  He is creative but also costly.  Hopefully a full preseason might see him back to 2021 standard.  But he was ok last night.

2. Chandler - covered ground but not great in the contest.  At least provided options. Not enough tackles for a small forward but wasn't horrible.

1. Billings - much like Chandler but slower.  Still he worked hard.

Tholstrup did a couple of nice things.  As for the rest, very little to report. Congratulations to Gawn on his outstanding season.  He is a true warrior and a deserved winner of the Demonland POTY.

[DeeZone 9,538]

6 - Max a much better 2nd half

5 - Salem stay fit and healthy

4 - TMac should go around again 

3 - Chandler worked hard all night

2 - Kozzie best forward 

1 - Trent Rivers reasonable 100th

Jack Billings eased out for Riv’s 100th.

A lot of sick or injured players tonight or just run out of puff after a disappointing year. Pies had the best 4 players on the ground last night and by some margin.

On a night when there were very few shining lights wearing red and blue:

6.  TMac  -  very reliable in an undermanned defence.  Capped off a very solid year, after many of us thought that injury and Father Time had caught up with him.    

5.   Gawn  -  leadership by example is what we’ve come to expect from Max, and that’s what we got, from the start to the final siren (I loved the passion / determination in his eyes when he addressed the players immediately after the lightening break).  Another AA coming up, together with prestigious Demonland Player of the Year.

4.  Chandler -  often maligned, but I thought this was one of his best games for the club.  Has made good progress this year imo.

3.   Salem -  solid game, but spoiled a bit of his good work with uncharacteristically ‘iffy’ disposal.  Having said that, he probably chose some more difficult options with a view opening up the field for our boys, and, in the circumstances of the game, you can’t blame him for that.

2.  Pickett  -  a typical Kozzi ‘live wire’ game.  Our only forward who always looked dangerous when the ball was in his area.  Unfortunately, it didn’t get in there often enough.

1.  Rivers  -  got a fair bit of the ball, but ‘butchered’ it too often.  Still a solid game from a player who is still learning the trade

6 GAWN. huge heart. Tried all night. Beat Cameron convincingly. 
 

daylight 

 

5 Tmcd. Yes had a good night. Beat Daicos 1-1. Two brain fades. Deliberate out of bounds.  Bad decision to mark instead of punch v HoskinElloitt cost us a goal. Otherwise tried and tried and kicked well 

4 Chandler.  Nice goal.  Good tackles and put his head over the footy 

3 Salem.  Again strong contribution.  Intercepted several Pies attacks. Generally good disposal except for 2 howler turnovers that cost goals 

 

struggling now 

2 Langdon.  Ed kept running and got better with more involvement 

1 Turner.  He shows spirit.  Lovely goal 

apologies to Kozzzzy ( good goals but it was a nearly night … nearly got away from quaynor, hit the post from 7 metres out, nearly got through congestion, nearly nearly ) 

Riv in 100th was serviceable as was Billings.
