Seriously Golly?


Had the great displeasure of viewing this live. No votes for Jones, Vince, Viney and Gawn based on their pathetic first half contribution of 21 disposals between them.

6. Tom McDonald - at least he always tries

5. Viv Michie - probably our best in the first half and kept cracking in

4. Jack Watts - made some mistakes but had a crack

3. Ben Newton - thought he had a dip

2. Billy Stretch - worked really hard

1. Jack Grimes - best of the rest

Thought Stretch was a shining light on a bleak day

 

Because I'm bored and whatever.

You really could've picked any of these names out of a hat.

6. Grimes - from the start to the end. When we made a challenge he was at the coalface.

5. McDonald - still a great mark and works hard. Love that we are using him in the middle.

4. Watts - although faded a little, still was an important cog and who knows what would have happened without him there.

3. Newton - clearances. He had some.

2. ANB - really showed some hardness and a guy who makes leads all day (he's 1 of 2)

1. Michie - he did stuff in the first half when no one else turned up.


I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I was in stiches writing it. I was waiting for D'land to start the thread so I could give some smartarse reply about sparing us this week, but it seems he's made himself scarce this week, so I had to start it.

Smart man, our Andy...

6. Tom McDonald

And that's about it!

4. Stretch

Easy to miss in the insipid performance that some things are getting better. Showing a bit more every game along with his mate ANB. Good call on the FS pick by the club.


Very hard to pick given everyone made howlers.

6 Grimes - a couple of dreadful errors just before half time, but our only four quarter contributor.

5 T.Mac - why are his hands so clean when he goes for a mark and yet others can't hold a drink bottle.

4 Michie - our best to half time, but ran out of puff and cramped up in last term. May have saved his career though.

3 N.Jones - couldn't break his tag for first half, but was one of the few who really lifted in the second half.

Not sure I can keep going but, maybe.

2 Dunn- he did beat his opponent, although Watson and Jaksch may be the weakest opposition talls he has ever played on, so it's no surprise.

1 Watts - second half was better and he did look like a leader, even if he again failed to hurt on counter-attack.

One final word for Golly. I get that you are being sarcastic, but to put Nathan Jones in your list of six worst just shows you have no idea what actually was happening out there. Were you at the game or at the bar?

I feel dirty even posting on this thread.

6 - McDonald - makes up for lack of natural ability with a huge heart and wonderful effort

5 - Michie - tried, with limited success but better than the rest

4 - Salem - showed some endeavour and a little of the class that we know he possesses

3 - Grimes - gave a damn but is still so predictable under pressure

2 - Gawn - made a difference for a short time

1 - Dunn - just because

Really, only the first three deserve votes.

Having said that, the most pleasing thing about a dismal game was the performance of the younger players. Most showed effort and skill, one or more of which were lacking in more senior players.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
