West Coast v Melbourne

10 Max Gawn MELB
8 Christian Petracca MELB
4 Daniel Turner MELB
4 Kade Chandler MELB
4 Jack Viney MELB

Coach voting fairly unanimous. The split:

  • 5/5 Gawn

  • 4/4 Petracca

  • 3 and 1 or 1 and 3, or 2 and 2 for Turner, Chandler, Viney

Max and Trac again voted the best two on the ground. Altho to be fair Max was streets ahead of everyone else.

Good to see Turner get votes from both coaches as did Viney and Chandler.

Max flying up the leader board:

    I was worried about Max in the first 4 rounds but his last month has been arguably up there with his best ever.

    Even At 33 with how fit he is, i see him playing for a few more years yet

    10 AA blazers??

    Can’t believe Max only got 10

    And I can't believe Max is only 5 off the lead.

    Is it correct that he played the entire last quarter on the weekend?

    90% time on ground for the entire game so it's possible

    We need at least a couple of players at AA level to make finals

    And I can’t remember ONE Demonlander who I can’t remember wanted MAX NOT TO FLY over for this match late last week.

    He must not want Max to be In Brownlow contention or for US to continue our rise and make progress this season.

    Only spoiler reall is we can’t be expecting say at round 22/23 he may not be as fit and able to win us games without any assistance. Come on Rooi get back in the team asap.

    another AA coming up for Maximus

    Xerri is his only real threat and i reckon there's a lot of anti-Melbourne people already in the media flying his flag. Max needs to have 4-5 more of these type of games (i.e. 10 votes) to secure his AA.

    And we win the matches that Xerri can’t get North over the line. That is Brownlow and AA selection criteria.

    There may be a lot of anti-Melbourne media people but reckon you would struggle to find an anti-Max person amongst them.

    He is revered by all. And rightly so.

    For the first time in a long time I noticed that Maxie was jumping and not just wrestling. He was running too.

    A fit Maxie who can run and jump is worth two of any other pretender to his position as the premier ruckman of this era.

    Fascinating article over the weekend about class ruckmen from the past eg. Nicholls, Farmer, Dempsey.

    They used angles and their leaps to tap the ball to their rovers. So much better to watch than two monsters wrestling, pushing and shoving to deliver the ball to a heaving mass of players.

    He leads Xerri in the coaches votes - hard to deny him if he is the top ruck there. But, you’re right, often these things are political

    You’d think so but I see it all the time. They are already talking about TDK and Xerri as the next big thing to take the GOAT mantle off Max and they achieved 2 % of duck all. It’s incredibly disrespectful.

    Your analysts talk about how Melbourne relies on Gawn too much (maybe so) but any other club and they’d say how good that player is etc etc - hall of famer etc.

    Breaking news: teams rely on their best players too much

    Also breaking news: how good is Dangerfield going carrying Geelong to victory at his age

    @binman did you suggest (on podcast 28 April) that Gawn should be rested v eagles and Tom Campbell be promoted (after his 3/4qrr game at Casey).

    To be fair someone can change their mind when Oliver's break was announced.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
