    6.  Watts:  Jack has arrived, and there's no better way for him to confirm his arrival than against the filth.

    5.  Viney: Ferocious at the ball and man.  Simply bleeds red & blue, and might heading for AA selection.

    4.  N. Jones:  Getting back to his best, and we all know how good that is!

    3.  Gawn:  The linchpin for our emerging midfield.  Another excellent game in the ruck and at critical times around the ground.

    2.  Wagner:  Surprised me and lots of others around here.  Calm under pressure and took the game on.  Easy to see him as a 'regular' on that performance.

    1.  Lumumba:  Getting back to the form we recruited him for.  His run from defence suits our new game style to a tee.

    Unlucky: Great team effort today, but a few like T.Mac. Tyson, Pedersen deserve a special mention.

    It was a scrappy mistake riddled match and the Pies were shocking. They played like "Melbourne" 2007-2014.

    6. Watts - First goal set the scene as did his first half. Just needs to put 2 of those together to finish! Solid 2nd also though

    5. Viney - The Rampaging Bull. 10 Clearances. Not sure how many of those were effective. Needs to be more aware though when he gets a free or a mark as to whether/when to play on. . Cost us at least 2 sure fire forward entries today by playing on unnecessarily which resulted in turnovers and Pie goals to give them back some momentum. Those two missed entries could have sealed the game much earlier IMO.

    4. Tyson - Solid. Still a little slow to decide what he's going to do. A split second in speeding this up and making better choices and he becomes a very damaging mid.

    3. Pedersen - Solid and reliable. Put body on the line in the clinches also and ran hard all day. 2 critical goals.

    2. Kent - Spread well, ran hard and provided solid options on the outside. Much needed on the vast expanses of the G for some team balance. 5 i50s, 6 tackles and a goal. Nice come back from the Bombers horror match Deano. Just reduce the clangers pls....5 today.

    1. LUMUMBA! - The run, the carry, the breaking of lines! The eyes down hitting targets coming i50 on at least 2 occasions! Something i've rarely seen from a Demon HB of late. Ty Mr Lumumba. Keep it up son. Love it.

    Apologies to Gawn (who i thought won the first half soundly but was matched or beaten in large sections of 2nd half. Took some solid clunks though) Bugg, Wagner, Salem and Jetta

    6. Viney was manic all day at the pill, continually got smashed but kept fighting through. 

    5. Gawn continually clunked some grabs around the ground getting us out of trouble. God help us if he goes down.

    4. Jetta. I simply loved him destroying Fasolo and his rebound is becoming first class. Continually kicks well from defence. 

    3. Watts has to get in slotting four. 

    2. N Jones. Bless his heart. 

    1. Lumumba. Provided some fantastic run today and is finally lowering his eyes hitting targets. Got pinned a couple times also that frustrated but that's going to happen with how he plays

    6. Viney: heart of a lyon

    5. Watts: He always had, just needed some confidence

    4. Gawn: Kept on going even with the soon to be illegal 3rd up

    3. Jones: One of the great captains in the industry

    2. Salem: Composed and brilliantly stable

    1. Wagner: The Beatles called him the Everywhere Man

    Exactly. Grundy was very good.

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

    Gadammit! I was totally saving that joke for a game when both McDonalds were playing.

    It was just sitting there waiting to happen. Plus with Oscar KO'd that might take a while.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
