Lot of luv for Clarry’s game here. I thought it was a huge improvement from him. But if I’m positioned to be a tagger, but my “tagee” gets 30 possessions (7 more than me) and only one less clearance than me, have I really done a good job?

    2 Trac - leading possession getter for the game but appears so low in the votes? Maybe we expect too much of Trac, but he was great again.

    Not for me my good man, I can't speak for other voters but I thought he was sensational.

    7 x I50s

    8 x Score involvements

    9 x clearances (the game high) and 7 of them from the middle

    His best game since KB for mine, he also attended 29 centre bounces and played extensively through the midfield so that was extremely encouraging. Had he kicked that goal at the end he would have banked a Brownlow vote for sure.

    Definitely his best game since return.

    And the thing is, this is what should have been expected from him in the first place - that after such a significant set of injuries, it was always going to take time for him to find his feet, form and trust his body. I dare say he is still near the start of that joruney.

    He's only going to get better.

    Probably not a true tag, as the stats show. And that is also likely because Clarry was given the freedom to punish the other way, too, and still play his own brand - 7 clearances, 5 score involvements and 1 goal. They are not tagging stats, but I would say his impact on Neale curtailed his influence, not necessarily his ability to get the ball (which as a dual brownlow medallist, is going to be a given). Neale was certainly around, and got the ball, but did not have his normal impact on the game, which goes a long way for Brisbane wins. And that's thanks to our boy, Claz.

    But you're right, not a true tag haha

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
