Exactly. Grundy was very good.

I don't get the lack of love for Bugg. 30 touches and 9 tackles

Yep i reckon he was a tad ahead of the Jones boy today. 2 goal assists also. Butchers the ball a fair bit dee so that could be what puts some off at present. 65% DE same as Jones.

Ranked No.3 behind Viney and Tyson in my stat rankings. Solid effort and probably his best so far with us. Much room for improvement with speed of decision making and disposal efficiency though. I recall he played some solid stuff against us in his early years with GWS but could be wrong. Maybe why Roos (and/or the recruiters) decided to go after him.

I may slightly differ after I watch the replay, but for me:

6 - Viney 

5 - Watts

4 - Gawn

3 - Hogan 

2 - Tyson

1 - Wagner

 

Next five (all could've featured): Lumumba, T-Mac, Bugg, Frost, Kent. 

Chunk in the next bracket after that. Didn't think he had his best game - Handballed back into pressure a lot and was not as clean as usual. Still, not a bad performance.

this was difficult and it's something we are not used to having to think about a best 3 let alone a best 6, Bugg, Tmac, Wagner and Frost are all unlucky and with Bernie & Garlett to come back in and Petracca and Nibbler staking their claims we are finally becoming a footy side

Jack Viney has opened up a nice little lead.

There are various surprises after 4 rounds, but Jesse Hogan with only 1 vote is surely one of them.

He is too harshly judged by posters on here

Viney -  I love Viney 

Watts 

Gawn 

Lumumba 

Jetta 

Tyson 

 

Couldn't fit 10 deserving players into 6 spots. N Jones, Bugg,  Wagner, and Kent miss out.

Interesting leaderboard. Gawn deserves to be higher - his value to the side is huge. I would even venture as far as saying, no Gawn, no Melbourne. That said, I can see why the other blokes are up there.

The defence was magnificent, but i am torn the first half was champagne, the second dour-do i back those who got the lead or kept it.

Viney-on all day

Watts-was a rolls royce

Gawn-the game is played on our terms even though grundy had a good day too

Lumumba-broke the lines for us

Jetta-love his heart

Tyson-haters be gone.

 

 

Apologies to Pederson/N.Jones/Bugg/Wagner/McDonald/Harmes

Neville Jetta with only 2 surprises me. He is the best small back in the league on current form.

Four out Four games, he's the first defender I want to see each week picked (Salem/Vince not far behind)

I may be a little harsh, but i'm wanting to see more from Salem.

What he has done has been good, but he has the skill-set to take his game to another level. We'd be such a better team off of his improvement alone.

For mine, he is still in 4th gear.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
