Don't want to knock the medal committee bit Bowser was the best 3 quarter effort for mine and when the gameplan looked garbage he was always trying to find the passes.

Extra tough choices this week, but here goes.....

6 The mighty Max - who else?

5 Bowey - the Little Master.

4 Petracca - the bulldozer is back.

3 Oliver - looking lean and hungry again.

2 Chandler - but worth more on another day.

1 Sparrow - much improved performance.

Points could easily have gone to a host of others (until Max went off and they all fell apart).

600 Gawn

Just a champion

But needs to learn his to kick with a permanent hook

Daylight

5 Rivers for 3 3/4 qtr for his run and carry

4 Sparrow lifted again with his tackling and determination

3 Langdon plays with heart and runs all heart

2 Viney tackling machine (just needs to kick a goal when he has a chance … missed 3 chances )

1 Chandler plays with heart and smart footy

Don’t get sucked into stats - Bowey Salem lazy disposals and little chip kicks time to get real and use the footy with purpose

And strugglers were

-3 Fullarton -2 Fritsch -1 Spargo


6: Gawn
5: Bowey
4: Rivers
3: Petracca
2: Salem
1: Sparrow

6 Max Gawn. Clearly cooked and time to retire. SnorkSnorkSnork.

5 Jake Bowey. Has emerged from the workshop with major upgrades.

4 Trent Rivers. Because I give extra when players fight their way out of a form slump.

3 Christian Petracca. I recognise this Petracca.

2 Kade Chandler. Quietly becoming a more complete footballer.

1 Tom Sparrow. I've been on his case this year, but like Rivers I like to reward turns in form.

BANG ON.

Well I thought Max was a stand out leader tonight: so -

6: Gawn

5 Bowey

4: Viney

3: Langdon

2: Petracca

1: Chandler

And I thought Rivers, Sparrow, McDonald, Salem and Langford played well.


6 Gone

5 Tommy Mac

4 Bowery

3 Chandler

2 May

1 Petty

6 Gawn

5 Bowey

4 Salem

3 Trac

2 Rivers

1 Viney (15 tackles)

 

6 Gawn - marked cleanly all night and as soon as he sat down late, we conceded four goals. Good to see Fullarton play in the ruck and clearly that's not going to work because he doesn't have the body strength to play there.

5 Trac - stupidly bombed it long a few times, but our most dangerous player all night.

4 Bowey - another clever game from the little master. Definitely a SC special and aside from Gawn, our only player in AA contention at this point.

3 Sparrow - sure Viney laid more tackles than him, but I thought his were more important and he had 16 touches and a goal. Viney had 19 touches and his 10 kicks were all long and intercepted.

2 Rivers - with 28 touches and 12 marks, he provided lots of run from down back. But you have to wonder if he and Salem realise that the high-risk play through the middle also comes with the highest reward. Because I can't remember them once taking the game on in that regard.

1 Salem - a couple of late howlers, but he clocked up the stats down back with what I suspect was a career-high 34 disposals and 13 marks. As with Rivers made sure that 95 per cent of the time we went down the wings.

6 Gawn - by so far it doesn't matter - up against a worthy opponent too

5 Bowey - great game

4 Rivers - so dependable now

3 Petracca - class above, as we know

2 Langdon - never stops running, get tired just watching him

1 Macdonald - best form of his career? and who said he can't kick?!

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
