    Our ability to clamp down defensively on the opposition has been next level in the last month.

    Considering we were predictably destroyed in the ruck and at stoppage and clearances, and with less rotations due to injury, that is a really solid win.

    We desperately need to do sometbing about lightening English's ruck stoppage workload for the rest of the season. Had we lost, it would have been the 5th time this season under the same circumstances.

    I actually thought Trengove did a good job nullifying Gawn's ruck dominance in the second half. Yes he gave away a free or two but Gawn and by extension Melbourne's scoring from stoppages, was just about our biggest hurdle to overcome all game (our goalkicking aside).

    Dunkley was the difference and supported well by Hunter and Duryea.

    Massive game from Josh - he’s one of the best mids in the game now. Incredibly strong and works both ways.

    Thought Doc was super important and saved us a number of times - especially considering Wood, Crozier and Trengove struggled. The sooner we can replace Trengove the better - he’s a real battler - and we should be demanding so much more from Wood who routinely makes some poor decisions ie. the free he gave away late.

    Smith is having a great first year - quieter today but that goal was fantastic.

    I liked Schaches intensity - kick straight and he has a great game.

    We did well to win considering how many players were down. As mentioned elsewhere, probably fitting of the week.

    Doc's best game for the club, Dunkley one of the best individual efforts for the year.

    Thought Wood was very good early.

    Trengove kept their ruck duo to 1 behind (combined) for the day, he more than played his role. He nullified Gawn in the ruck in the 3rd quarter.

    I couldn’t disagree more.

    Trengove has at least 2 kicked in him by a kid (Petty), positioned himself poorly numerous times, gave away free kicks, turned it over and was lucky enough to get away with one or two late holds. He was awful.

    Fritsch playing on and missing that shot in the last quarters timely for us.

    A lot of players on decent salaries are underperforming IMHO.
    JJ, Suckling, Shaq ( presented well, but even at the end, should be icing goals like that. I did like his attack on the ball ).
    But the younger players are certainly getting reward for effort. R Smith had a good game, Dunks, Smith, Lipinski.

    If anything I am really happy, as Melbourne are a boogey side for us and it's the sharp end of the season.
    Bit harsh on Schache. One of our bests today.

    Great effort and a good win by the boys. Down a man in the rotations for three quarters, but we kept grinding away.

    Yep, easily one of our bests for so many different reasons.

    I also liked this week, and last week too, that Bailey Smith has found himself in the position to kick a crucial goal in a very tight match with the heat of opponents on, and he nailed them.
