Tough to find just 6, which is nice for a change

6: Gawn
5: Pickett
4: Bowey
3: Rivers
2: Viney
1: Petty

 
  1. The Crowd.

25k is perhaps 10k more than many would have realistically expected.

What a club. That is some proper resilience and everyone who went deserves the win.

Virtue rewarded.

Absolute team effort though across the board


6 Pickett - terrorized the defenders.

5 Gawn - the giant reigns again.

4 Bowey - clinical skills.

3 Viney - snuffed Serong out.

2 McDonald - vintage defending.

1 Petty - kicked key goals.

And bonus marks all round (including Goody!)

I actually felt we had six phenomenal contributors today and a lot of very good role players outside the big six.

The order of the big six can vary a bit, depending on your view of what factors win matches, but here goes from me.

6 Bowey - I don't think i have seen a better defensive first half from any Demon in a long time. He tackled with intent, he kicked with outstanding vision and compiled 21 touches to halftime. He's been in our best two players all year and i'd now say he is in the All-Australian mix (yes laugh if you like, but his past month has been at a new level. The challenge now for him is to back it up.

5 Kozzie - Our matchwinner with five goals and plenty of clearances. Elusive and dangerous and more effective than Bolton. I reckon he'd get the 3 Brownlow votes from this game, but I'd be really disappointed if Goody didn't give his five coaches award votes to Bowey.

4 Viney - yes I was one who wanted him moved out of the middle to play ANB's role this week because his kicking has been bog ordinary. Part of that was because Ed was the only player I could see keeping up with Serong. But it was Ed who was moved into ANB's spot and Viney went head to head with Serong and returned to his 2018 finals form.

3 Gawn - yes he missed two shots at goal and his opponent Darcy kicked a couple, but big Max won the hitouts and dished off a few very clever over the top handballs that allowed Trac and Kozzie to break free from the middle. He also marked beautifully all game and I'd be surprised if his disposal efficiency isn't mega high. Great game from the big fells and a huge presence in the last term.

2 Petty - Wow, we haven't had a genuine forward since his game against Geelong at the MCG last year and this was better than that because most of his work was from the goalsquarre. He beat Pearce and Draper all game, whether it be leading up or just pushing them out in a marking contest. Will play at FF for the rest of the season now, but here's the thing Goody, there will be a game or three when someone has his measure and it is OK to switch him. That's the role of the coach.

1 T-Mac - apologies that he only got one vote because you couldn't help but admire the work he did all day on Treacy, who apart from Hogan, is the league's most in-form forward. In fact the only time T-Mac got beaten was by his brother Oscar on a lead. T-mac was clever with his disposal and just so aerially dominant. Normally his game would have been a 6-voter.

  1. Gawn

5. Pickett

4. Bowey

3. Viney

2. Rivers

1. MacDonald

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
