Jones - great second quarter

Viney - unsighted when needed

Salem - was always composed

Watts - hugely disappointing again

Petracca - believed his publicity 

Lewis - provided great direction 

Tyson - most overrated footballer 

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Hibbert - was outstanding again

Kent - waste of space

Frost - iffy but important 

Hannan - our only forward

Pedersen - no heroics today

Vince - had no influence 

T.McDonald - versatile but limited

Weideman - probably wasn't playing

O.McDonald  - never inspired confidence 

Hunt - obviously still suffering

Bugg - regularly wasted chance

Garlett - just a spectator 

Jetta - reliable and effective

    Hard for forwards to play well when the mids over handball then slam it on the boot after north flooded back.

    • Bit hard on Pedersen- against AA Ruckman
    • Tyson : Better today
    • Hannan : Best game/ Competitive
    • OMac/Frosty: Learning . Some great efforts by both.
    • TMac : Has enormous responsibilities
    • Watts : Needs to impose more but efficient when ball in hand
    • Jetta : Just as well we have got him
    • Midfield : Forwards need better delivery
    • Forwards:Somtimes you make your own luck
    • Defenders: "Lace outs" are hard to stop
    • Onballers: Hard day at office
    • "Ruckmen": He is BIG!!!/and can play/Max is better

    We stuffed around with the ball in the first quarter, then went more direct in the second, only to revert back to the same bull[censored] in the third.

    Dumb football and dumb coaching all round. Starting McDonald forward was a big mistake, just because it worked last week doesn't mean it always will.

    Pedo i thought did a fantastic job, so a bit harsh on him Joeboy. A pity he only had a couple more that gave their all for the entire match.

     

    Kent was pathetic, he doesn't get enough of it to be a mid, yet cannot apply defensive pressure in the forward half. He is a man of no position. Bring in Harmes for him next week.

    Weideman is nowhere near the quality of an AFL player yet (still needs to develop a tonne, and find a spine), stick him at Casey for the rest of the year, as he lacks both the required skill and appetite AFL requires.

    OMAC has no good games, he either has bad one's or ok one's. He gave away 4 free kicks today (all of which were there) and 6 clangers, so he is either clueless or just a stupid footballer. You don't build backlines around these types of player's. With the likes of TMAC, OMAC and Frost as our KPD's, we probably have one of the worst defences in the league. Lever can't get here quick enough.

    Jeffy through in one of his classic 'bad' performances today. He has more better days than bad days, but his bad days really are bad.

    Watts, Salem, Petracca, Wagner (he's never going to be an AFL quality player - so why bother), Vince and Hunt were all below par.

    Hard to win when more than half your team put in less than average performances. Dees caught drinking their own bathwater again.

    GOODWIN - Out Coached Again

    He also needs to work on motivating the team. If they continue not to listen, make changes.

    Frost could get a gig in a premiership side. Have a look at all of the premiership players running around in Hawthorn jumpers right now.

    Motivation needs to come from within.  A team that needs motivation week in week out; has a huge problem.

    You must have a handful of negatives about Tyson that you just slot in every week, regardless of his performance.

    What does Tyson have to do for you to give him some credit? granted struggled early on but in recent weeks has started to find his legs again and getting into some space. if the chief concern is still disposal efficiency then you need to have a closer look - 4th in total disposals, 5th in average disposals and while his efficiency is down, Hunt has 40 less touches at 2% better efficiency. he's doing the job Goody and the coaches are asking of him, yes we'd all like a bit more out of him, but he's a massive reason we bat so deep in the midfield.

    agree with your notations: 

    Frankly it is laughable that a  Team can come out and thrash Adelaide yet play so poorly again against Nth Melbourne. 

    At the start of the year I held out for more hope than this at week 9

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
