Surprised one of these are not up

I'll have a swing

Hogan - please improve kicking

Jones - tough but sloppy

Salem - needs more ball

Watts - Some good moments

Petracca - an absolute bull

Viney - is officially elite

Gawn - was well beaten 

Tyson - Demonland's most underrated 

Oliver - very minimal impact

Stretch -  possesses great smarts 

Garland - Not AFL standard

Pederson - lazy and unsighted 

Michie - will hold spot

Vince - will get suspended 

McDonald - never kick again

Hunt - looked completely lost

Bugg - sloppy and fumbley

Kennedy - thank you Collingwood 

Garlett -  not his best

Jetta - always Mr. Reliable 

Wagner - same as Hunt

Harmes - needed more output

Can't see why Vince will get suspended for a bump on the shoulder and no real impact on the player he supposedly hit 'high'.

Gawn was well beaten alright... by the maggots! The umpires continually let the Bulldog ruckman impede his run at the ball while allowing Bonts to have a clear hit as third man up. Contrast this approach by the maggots to the free against Hickey for impeding Goldstein!

Oliver's minimal impact had him top 5 for handballs and around top 5 or 6 for tackles!

Apart from that DemonLAd5, I reckon you're pretty close!

Viney - Disappointed me today

Will post more on this tomorrow when I have some time but he really needs to work on some aspects of his game if he is to be truly elite and the leader we want him to be.

I know most if not all will not agree...but it's how I saw it.

Tyson - our best today

Jetta - not far behind

Oliver - kick the ball

Oliver is a bit like a young Jobe Watson who early in his career wouldn't kick the ball but all of a sudden it clicked. I'm sure the same will happen to Clarrie.

Agree on Michie      we lost the contested ball by a big margin  so we lost

That was part of the problem yesterday. His game was very similar to his Brisbane game. He got a lot more of the ball but he had little influence. He wasn't alone in that regard, though.

Tyson again gets a kick from Joeboy ( Tyson must have kicked his cat)   - was he more wasteful than Jack Viney ?

Tyson is constantly tackled as soon as he gets the ball and usually doesn't free his arms to get the ball out. He's gone backwards this year.

MFC - fit of fumbles

He went backwards last year  - injuries and couldn't get himself right. He has been very solid this year and again compare his game to Viney's. As many times as Tyson got tackled as soon as he got the ball  - so was Viney. There many secondary stoppages caused by Viney getting tackled and not free as there were with Tyson. Selective analysis in my opinion.

Tyson's getting back to his levels where he finished runner up in our B&F not backwards.

He's averaging equal or higher in disposals, goals, tackles, Inside 50s and Score Assists than that year, and all are a marked improvement on last year.

You say this every week. Why? His kicking was sharp yesterday, one of our goals was directly caused by Tyson successfully executing a risky but perfect 50m kick into the corridor to Jones who was surrounded by Bulldogs. I don't recall any of his other kicks missing the mark either.

    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

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
