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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
