4 - Jones: Our best player this season, borderline star at present (keep it up JOnesy!)

3 - Watts: Hack my arse!

2 - Grimes: MASSIVE second half.

1 - Nicholson: Disposal not great but everything else very good.

Just like after massive smashings, I need to let the adrenaline die off before I post, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to see past Col Garland's efforts in the last quarter. That and watching completely, utterly exhausted players throw themselves on the ball and man to stop Essendon getting back in it in the last.

Not one player was carried last night. Just a team effort. Can you give votes to every single player.

Maybe on Brownlow night. And the three votes go to, The enire Melbourne football team.

6- Gotta be Riv. What a game from him, has been great all year.

5- Grimes. Won the ball while playing on Watson for most of the game.

4- Nicholson. Courage to run, and beat, opponents set the tone.

3- Jones. What a fighter.

2- Garland. Finally gets played forward!

1- Watts. Great, creative disposal.

1. Tapscott but could have been anyone

Welcome back Moloney, Sylvia, Morton to the team ( at least it appeared as though you wanted to be part of the team). Couple of others still to also return but all positives tonight so I am not naming them.

6. Nicholson- He was awesome with his contested ball and run, and his disposal was not terrible.

5. Rivers- As has been said, dominant game.

4. Watts- Great playmaking and contested work was much much better, especially at the end vs Watson.

3. Grimes- Leading from the front.

2. Garland- Provided a real option up forward. Would have been higher if he kicked straight.

1. Jones- As always, worked hard all night. Nice goal too.

Everybody deserves a vote tonight for actually turning up and going hard.

But when I think of a Grimesy's efforts in the second half I want to cry again. For everything he has been through with injuries and a very difficult start to his captaincy, he was simply inspiring. Absolutely the right man for the job.

Jones as always was magnificent as well.

NB: Special mention to Moloney who in an unfamiliar role gave his all defensively and played smart football when he had it.

6 Garland - cant look passed his 4th quarter effort

5 Jack Watts - sit down hater - youre making idiots of yourselves

4 Rivers - No words for that effort

3 Grimes - havnt seen us captained like that since Neitz

2 Nicholson - amazing what run and carry can add to a team

1 Jones - deserved it all year

6. Watts- sublime skill, and those gutsy spoils.

5. Rivers- Best game I've ever seen him play. Masterful.

4.Grimes- Terrier like. Disposal also good.

3. Jones- Guts, guts and more guts. What a team lifting goal!

2. Garland- Unlikely hero in forward line. Great marks in defence too.

1. Mark Neeld and the rest of the Demon team. Fabulous courage and dedication.

Also thought Sylvia was good tonight. Put himself into the contest.

6- Watts: The backline is the place for him. What a great game!

5- Rivers: Unlucky not to get the 6. He was fantastic.

4- Jones: As usual, played with his heart on his sleeve; just this time, he had 21 support acts.

3- Grimes: We've got ourselves a captain!

2- Garland: Our match winning forward

1- Tapscott: I thought he was excellent tonight: he went in hard, took some courageous marks, made some smart plays. Glad to have him in the team.

Honourable mentions: Nicholson, Moloney, McDonald, Green

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
