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?!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
