Gawn Bowey Petracca Salem Chandler Rivers Sparrow and Langdon also very good.

Gee we have a knack of picking up tall forwards who have no physical presence whatsoever. Fullerton, Schache, Weideman to name a few.

Fullerton didn't do much tonight. Do we pull the trigger on JVR, or really try and get him to smash the door down?

Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half. Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

The glazing over Lalor is a bit much. Both Lindsay and Langford have looked superior players tonight.

Disappointing last five minutes. Looks like we've put the cue in the rack

(censored) me, there's nothing quite like watching Maxy in peak god mode. Best Melbourne player I've seen in my lifetime.

McVee hasn't done much wrong tonight on return. He's going to be very important over the next few weeks.

Gee, I swore the Richmond player got a finger to that... Not going to complain though. EDIT: Nah, he was miles away. Play on EDIT EDIT: Oh (censored) off.

Chandler huge tonight

Max has entered god mode again.

Brill quarter from the boys. Clarry and Trac have come alive.

Sparrow having a quietly good night.

Chandler's had a good quarter working up the ground. Bowey continuing his good form.

Windsor's been a turnover merchant tonight.

Viney and Sparrow with 21 tackles between them

Trac has awoken.

FRITTA!!!

Brilliant smother Chin!

That's better Kozzy.

At this point we should deliberately try and target Richmond defenders when going inside 50. The results can't be any worse than what we're currently seeing. Fullerton is a handy enough 2nd ruck but he's nowhere near it as a key forward. Has been beaten comprehensively by a first gamer in Gray Trac and Clarry need to pull their fingers out. Both look completely uninterested which is a disgrace considering the occasion. Kozzy also looks a completely different player when compared to his five goal heroics last week. T.Mac continues to amaze in defence. Hopefully a '26 contract isn't too far away. Lindsay and Langford look the goods.

Lucky break with a rare error from Vlastuin. Petty with No.2

Not sure about Fritsch getting an immediate recall after a so-so VFL performance. Saying that, if we play like we did against Freo, Fritsch will be one who'll highly benefit.

Howes played well yesterday especially considering he was matched up on Amiss for most of the day. Amiss broke loose late but was fairly unsighted for the first three quarters.

Tempting, but I dunno. I'd much rather continue stockpiling 177cm small forwards who have less than 10 touches a game and don't kick goals every week.
