6.Oliver wasn't as clean as usual but gave his all for 4 quarters and one who tackled

5. Salem like Clarrie had a crack and used it well  (one of a few)

4. Jones was given a job and did it

3. Omac did a decent job on Roughie who got a couple late

2. Gawn won the contest with [censored] boy and was let down by our poor handling at the drop of the ball

1. Hogan we were that bad after the first quarter Im going that far back was dominant early

Petracca 

The other 21.

6 Oliver- easily our best with 30 touches and 10 tackles.  Didnt quite dominate but tough when you are Pat Malone.

5 Jones - sacrificed his own game and did a solid job on Mitchell. Still got some of it. 

4 OMac - our best defender, rarely beaten.  His attacking thrusts didn't use the best option. 

3 Hogan - 24 touches and a goal as a forward in a team that was beaten. Should have been used on the ball. 

2 Salem - Great disposal at times, tried hard, not many other options. 

1 Kent - Raffle this point. At least Kent had a good first quarter with 3 goals before he disappeared. Gawn won hit outs but we didn't get an advantage and he missed the goal the started the rot. ANB did some nice things. Brayshaw had great endeavour and will better for the run.

6. Oliver - we are pinning our future on this boy. We might need someone to help him. 

5. Salem - all starting to click. His pressure around the ball is outstanding. Building something here. 

4. Gawn - McEvoy is no longer in consideration for All Australian. 

3. McDonald - he is starting to look really important. Wonder how much of this is development / having Lever there. 

2. Hogan - I just don’t know if I’d prefer his 25+ touches or him to stay deep and kick goals. 

1. Jones - he beat Mitchell but highlighted the class diffenence between the 2.

Personally think these votes should be given 50% weighting - there's no way 6 this week is worth the same as in other weeks.

I digress.

6 - Omac

5 - Salem

4 - Jones

3 - Hogan

2 - Oliver

1 - Aaand I'm out

6 - Hogan (How is a full forward, our second highest possession getter?)

5 - O.Mc (Worked Roughy well)

4 - Kent (His early game gets him here)

3 - Oliver (Good, but definitely can be better).

2 - Fritsch (Didn't get a lot, but didn't stop having a crack at the hard stuff).

1 - Neil-Bullen (One of the few to not stop running, covered a lot of ground).

 

That was a hard one.

Too many 6/10 footballers who rarely figure in these votes. Top sides don’t have too many 6/10 footballers.

Dear oh dear that was very hard to watch today and there was a very good turnout of MFC supporters at The Gee to witness another hit and run disaster after half time. We broke down all over the ground...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calmed down just enough to give this a bash

6. Oliver - Just your standard Oliver game. 11 tackles showed that he was one of the few to continuously hit the Hawks hard.

5. OMac - Who would've thought that with the likes of Jetta, Hibberd and now Lever in our backline, we'd be saying that Oscar has been our best defender so far in 2018? 

4. Gawn - Set a club record for most hit outs in a game with 66. Massive effort. Its just a shame that Hawthorn read his taps better than the players who trained with him all pre-season.

3. Hogan - Was everywhere in the first quarter with 12 touches and a goal. 

2. Jones - By no means a massive game statistically but was able to shut down Mitchell for most of the match.

1. Kent - Played the quarter of his life before fading into near obscurity. Still encouraging signs though.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
