The same six that featured in the Demonland poll. This would have to be a first. I hope that the other seventeen teams are paying attention!

    Most had Brayshaw instead of Garlett.

    I think putting 6 MFC players in is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. The team was good, that was a surprise - must have had several stars.

    I also had Brayshaw in my best six however I don't have a problem with Garlett (or even Watts for that matter). I think that they had to focus on positions (which is why Gawn is nominated in the forward pocket rather than in the ruck)!

    Only 12 teams played this week with the bye.

    Still a great result.

    When was the last time the Dees had more players in the team of the week than any other team?!

    This is why I love footy.

    Probably about the last time we beat the Cats at skilled!

    Round one, actually, I seem to recall we had four.

    Has this ever happened to MFC before? I certainly can't remember more than maybe the occasional three. Not even sure is the highest number from one team since this has been around.

    Shows that there has been significant progress as a team.

    Keep it up.

    We did, but the Dockers had 5.

    just nit picking here- why the [censored] is Vince not named guts or one of the onballers. 34 touches, 38, 38- more clearances, more contested posession than cripps. its not about 'team balance' as a. there is no such team or b. any of the other blokes there could be named HFF as well as a better mid is named as such. Pisses me off

    Pretty rare for us to have the whole ground covered in the team, defender, ruckman, midfield and forward..they all deserved some recognition and well deserved. Im over the moon for Gawn, he is like a Toumpas for me, someone who i really want to make it.

    I agree! We should have had eight in the team, including Vince and Brayshaw!

    Vince has to be in All Australian form

    If he keeps this up, he should be selected... but then not play because heaven forbid he gets injured!

    He has had 25 touches 6 out of the last 7 games, so that's reasonable consistency

    Sorry C & B

    Ask Robbo, he beat the Cats single handed.

    7G 3B equal highest tally of his career.

    I love the man, so much humility.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
