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 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?!

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
