Worst 6. Struggling to find which is the first for a very long time. Toumpas needs 8 weeks at Casey for confidence and fitness.

6. MacDonald

5. Lamumba

4. Newton

3. Watts

I agree with you regarding Lumumba. He added some run to this team which had previously been missing.

Best game I've been to for years!

For me, these six guys stood up during periods where the game was up for grabs. Viney, unlucky as his aggression was fantastic. With improved offensive/decision-making, he would have been just about BOG.

6 Macca

5 Jones

4 Watts

3 Garlett

2 Cross

1 Viney

Special mention to Bert Newton, the Prince, Tyson, Brayshaw and Vanda.

Vandenberg, Cross, Newton and a couple of others a bees dick away and very unlucky.

Tom Mac and Viney the most influential players on the park for me.

Interesting that Brad Johnson had Howe as our best player and I suppose that makes him by default, the best player on the ground (in Brad's eyes) Howe hasn't attracted a lot of votes here.

I was also astonished to discover that Lumumba only had 12 possessions (only 6 more than the 27 minute player - Toumpas ^_^)

I had to have Lumumba in my best as I thought he was quite influential despite his low possession count.

6 - T-Mac

5 - Jones

4 - Watts

3 - Viney

2 - Howe

1 - Lumumba

Apologies to at least another 8 players (especially Garlett, Garland & Tyson)

Usually it's been difficult to find 6 players - I prefer this version of difficult.


6. MCDONALD

5. VINEY

4. WATTS

3. GARLETT

2. JONES

1. HOWE

6) Jason Taylor (Recognised the need for speed and added four quick guys - Garlett, Lumumba, vandenberg and Frost to the list and still kept the high pics and got a handy father/son).

5) Paul Roos (Got rid of the hard working but high turnover merchants and also decide to go small against a side that is skillful but tiny).

4) Simon Goodwin (If the mail is right that he has encouraged a more attacking style to balance Roosy's possession style lockdown game, then he had a major win).

3) Fitness/Physio/Medical team - Only two players missing through injury if we don't include Bernie who played full game in reserves.

2) Peter Jackson (got Roosy in first place and seems to have steered a dead ship into clear seas)

1) Robbie Flower (his spirit has carried us through and the Dom Tyson's goal was reminiscent of the magical way we used to get excited in 1987 when Robbie's final year sparked play that we normally could only dream of)

It is early days and there will be plenty of more physical sides to come that will upend us, but at least we look competitive.

 

6 - McDonald - it all came together

5 - Watts - it all came together

4 - Garlett - was dangerous, creative and very team focused

3 - Dunn - was a constant rock in defence

2 - Viney - some howlers but finally took first options , successfully

1 - Howe - clean skills and so valuable despite the limited preseason

6 Tommy Mac

5 Nathan Jones

4 Newton

3 O'Brien

2 Watts

1 Garlett

Many deserving missed out - a very nice, and unfamiliar, dilemma

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
