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.

    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 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?!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
