Grumble, grumble, grumble

6 - Viney - again tagged and beat out Stevens. Just getting the job done.

5 - Gawn - dominated all day. Wish we could capitalise more

4 - N. Jones - wasnt going to give him votes but his 4th quarter effort was huge to try and will us to something

3 - Grimes - Still needs to get back up to speed but he offers so much off half back

2 - Howe - trade value going up, up

1 - Watts - big first half and tried to get involved in the second. Getting better.

5. Dawes. For getting us off to a great start with the clever tactic of putting his shoes on back-to-front.

4. Watts. Claiming a 2-meter mark - all class today. Almost Pendles-like with the time and space he thinks he has.

3. Roos. Garland on Nick a curve-ball they surely weren’t expecting.

2. Lamumba. Never afraid to play on and take the first option whatever that may be.

1. Tyson. Seamlessly adapting to the Melbourne blue-print after a troubled first year.

6 - Viney. Rapidly becoming an elite mid.

5 - Gawn. Rapidly becoming a real ruck.

4 - Nev. If nothing else for that monumentally late hit and then claiming that the ball had been touched. Genius.

3 - Vince. Was involved and was one of the few who did something productive when they had the chance to hit a forward.

2 - Garland. Had his work cut out against Saint Nick. Was beaten but not shamed.

1 - Brayshaw. I was amazed that he was listed as having only two tackles until I remembered that most would have been listed as effective (non) disposals or frees against due to the most influential player on the ground.

Speaking of which...

Most influential Player: Umpire Wallace, closely followed by Mollison.

Couldn't give votes to Hogan Because he missed an absolute sitter and in a low-scoring game that kills us. Likewise Garlett. Dawes both missed a sitter and shanked passes to open forwards twice in the first quarter, so he's out. Tyson cost Harmes a chance at his first AFL goal by passing behind him. Cross and Dunn ruled themselves out with loose marking which cost us goals. Jones played on when he shouldn't have repeatedly, cost us multiple goals. Watts kept trying to pinpoint passes into the corridor and missing. Once I got through all the players I couldn't vote for it was getting really hard to find someone I could.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
