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

              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?!

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
