In just my view

Melky should not play the last two games give him a rest we need him fit n firing in 26

Salem Best game for far too long

Chandler better than I thought he would be

JvR Getting better in the Ruck but he does kick well for goal.

TMac rusty then solid like a rock

Not enough support for Gawn who just about locked away his 8th AA jacket today. The man is an absolute freak of nature.

If anyone says he isn’t the best ruckman of the modern era they can give themselves an uppercut.

6 - Jake Melksham - match winner

5 - Christian Petracca - so determined

4 - Harvey Langford - what a ripper

3 - Christian Salem - best for a while

2 - Bailey Fritsch - 3 of the best

1 - Max Gawn - another great game

Great team effort shout out to Matty Jefferson, showed a bit today could have had 3 took some punishment but took it in his stride and Tommy Sparrow kicks a beautiful goal then felled by Xerri, hope that he is OK.

I’d love to beat Hawthorn in round 23 to snuff out their top 4 dreams, and Melksham was sorely missing in our first battle with them. Therefore I’d be very keep for him to play that game, and as many games as possible on the run home.

6. Melksham. Kicking 5 whilst having someone wear you all day is an amazing effort. The man is like a fine wine and continues make fantastic leads into space and importantly, clunking some high quality contested marks.

5. Petracca. I'm probably judging him harshly as on paper his game was fantastic and he looks nearly back to his best. He just had a couple ordinary kicks today that would have seen him get BOG in my world. Just still not quite lacing them but some of his bullocking work was top notch and I think his body nerves from previous injuries are just about over. Look out 2026

4. Fritsch. Like Melksham above, I always rate forwards impact higher than mids who can get cheapy touches all day. This bloke today was absolute class in both his goal kicking and his delivery in. I feel he gets treated harshly sometimes here as he's a pure finisher who will always look poor in a poor team. With Melksham owning the space deep and giving us a half decent target, its great to see him get on his bike and show some more of his skills

3. Salem. Another who I think gets some harsh feedback at times here as he has a bit of the Mark Waugh vibe that looks like he's not trying. A few great intercepts today but more importantly, his delivery inside 50 a few times was just magic and something we haven't seen for a while. Was great seeing him getting some touches forward of centre

2. Langford. I wanted him if we had pick 1. Have always rated him as he is absolute class with the ball and owning the wing at present. The only shame about him playing so well there is that we haven't seen much of him running straight through the guts where I think he'll be even better. Have really enjoyed his spacing and not getting sucked in and within 3 years, I think he'll be our best player.

1. TMac. Was by far our best key defender today. I get why he's been out of team with the combo of May/Lever/Tuner being preferred on paper, but we're all aware that right now on form, he deserves to be there over Jake and looks far more assured attacking contests and rebounding well.

Unlucky to Gawn as didn't quite have his usual impact and Kozzy who if he kicked his other two opportunities he would have polled.
