Loved JJ's game this year. Has taken to the wing like a duck to water. He's a much better kick than I initially thought as well.

Geelong kicking into gear now. Cameron could have a double digits sort of day if this continues

Love the look of Schultz and Swikowski.

If you count Jackson's goal in the second, we had a run of 11 goals all kicked by different players. EDITED: Slight statistical error, whoops.

I don't think it's be brought up yet, but how bloody awesome was Bowey's intercept and goal? Kid can seriously play.

Max is back with a (censored) vengeance!

The 'Wilbury' returns! Gee our defensive depth is something to behold. All of Tomlinson, Smith and Petty could present a case as to why they deserve to be the third tall behind May and Lever.

Loving the content! Assuming you're taking the top 3-4 performers from every game, it goes to show what an impressive array of performers we've had over the first month of the season. Only Petracca and Langdon have been featured twice!

Ed Langdon might have some GOTY competition... Shai Bolton is a deadset freak.

Goals to JVR, Laurie and Mitch White so far apparently

Terrible decision against Maynard. Brilliant effort.

I know he didn't have a great game but I think the death penalty is a tad harsh.

Coming off two consecutive six day breaks, I'm happily taking a 5-6 goal win. Some of the boys looked spent in the final quarter. Great to see Maxy back to his best. Jordan continues to improve week by week

Thanks for these edits TMD. Just a thought, it might be worth chucking these in a separate thread, as I feel they can get lost in these post game ones. Great stuff!

Watched the replay yesterday and I thought Fritsch had a better game than I first gave him credit for. Not a big night on the stats sheet, but he did a couple of really good team things that set up some shots at goal. - Paddled the ball to Langdon who kicked it to Weideman for his first shot of the match (behind) - Laid a strong tackle in the first quarter which rewarded him with a set shot (behind) - Stepped through a tackle and kicked the ball neatly to Sparrow in the second (goal)

Surprised to see that Jordon finished with only the 16 touches. Seemed to be around the ball a lot and generally used it well. Really liked his game tonight.

Great call. Kicked a ripping set shot in the second quarter as well when we were struggling to convert in front of goal.

Kudos to some of the younger boys Jordon, Bowey and Rivers barely put a foot wrong all night.

Shout out to Essendon for putting all of their time and effort in locking down Petracca which allowed Oliver and Brayshaw to run rampant.

Bit of light rain at the moment. Might be a slippery pill in the first quarter.

First game I've attended since ANZAC Eve/Jonesy's 300th last year. Excited!

To this day, I still say that we should've given Crossy another year.

Random rising star fact. Since the award was introduced in 1993, there have been a total of 21 players who have been nominated twice. Melbourne has had five of those players of their list Nathan Jones, Jordan Gysberts, Sam Blease, Luke Jackson and now Jake Bowey.
