Very hard to allocate votes when I feel gutted and we had so many passengers, but:

6.  Hogan:  a standout.  We would have been obliterated without him.

5.  Jones:  a warrior, but Viney aside, he had very little help around the stoppages.

4.  Viney:  see Jones.  They can't do it all on their own.

3.  Watts:  worked hard and did a few nice things in a team that was well beaten.  He would have been one of the first to go missing 12 months ago.

2.  Gawn:  probably just broke even with Hickey.

1.  Kennedy: a trier, and bobbed up a bit.

6 - Hogan - do I need to give a reason. 

5 - Viney - his 3rd term should have turned the game if the others came along. 

4 - Jones - I love that when we play bad he just comes out and leads by example. 

3 - Watts - presented well - where has his marking gone though. 

2 - Tyson - rounding out a really good centre clearance team. 

1 - Gawn - was below his par but above par for any other ruck. 

 

My worry with the votes is that our centre 4 and our 2 tall forwards are coming up in the votes again and again. I don't think we are getting enough from the others around the ground.

Everyone seemed tired.   IMO Gawn is easily the main reason we're doing better this year, but if we don't get serious help in for him soon, I predict he'll go down injured and we'll be seriously screwed.

 Peder/Frost give Max a break, but they also give the opposition rucks a break because they're easy to ruck against.

  Shouldn't have traded Stef Martin.  I'm not a Spencer fan at all, but he needs to practice goal kicking like crazy & replace Peder/Frost.  He'll hurt & tire the opposition when rucking,  so the opposition will have less energy to battle Max, Max will perform better and be more likely to survive without injury.

Our back 6 has been unfairly maligned after this game. We just need to show intensity around the ball otherwise it makes our attacking press look really stupid.

I reckon they'll ring in the changes a week late but with the longer break, I hope they give the same blokes a shot at redemption.

No team can maintain two All-Australian level ruckmen and both Gawn and Martin seem to be the type of guys that thrive on their own

Dean Cox and Nik Nat?

Maybe. Nik Nat was a bit of an unknown quantity at that stage. Martin and Gawn are both in their prime, it would be virtually impossible to maintain.

    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
