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).

  1. Gawn

  1. Petracca

  1. Bowey

  1. Salem

    1. Oliver

      1. Tmac


  1. Gawn

    1. Bowey

      1. Salem

        1. Viney

          1. Petracca

            1. Oliver

              Special mention- Rivers, Sparrow, Tom Mc, Langdon, McVee, Chandler

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 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?!

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
