Jetta - invisible and irrelevant 

O.McDonald - tried but overwhelmed

Hibberd - continued disappointing season

Vince - steady but slowing

Frost - little to commend

Lewis - a total liability

Gawn - our only winner

Jones - probably broke even

Oliver - prolific but ineffective

Melksham - gave us nothing

Hogan - one great quarter

Kent - an impressive game

Bugg - an embarrassing liability

Harmes - slow and ineffective

Lever - continued to disappoint 

Petracca - conditions inhibited performance 

Brayshaw - an impressive return

Fritsch - tried but limited

Garlett - not on field

Wagner - was hardly seen

Salem - never stopped trying

Omac was fantastic. He was literally the only player who did not panic once. Kudos to him. 

Lewis needs to retire and Bugg needs to sign a VFL contract.

Very generous. Started off well but again showed he is limited skill wise. Early in the game had an easy hit up for Hogan and bombed it to no one, just not a one touch player. Seemed to play a lot at half forward, his development is just going around in circles.

Bit harsh on Brayshaw's skill level compared to what else was on display today by MFC. He was far from the worst

Brayshaw : Showed good signs. Competed

Melksham : Missed the train

Harmes : Missed the train

MFC : Dry Weather "Footballers"

HFC : Showed what desire can do.

OMac : Doubters silenced now.

Hibberd : Confused in his role

Lever : Should Mark. Spare Defender : Lacking confidence

It is what it is, but I had hoped for more class from a number 3 draft pick and still hope it will magically change every time he returns to the team.

Jordan Lewis - Common Denominator (in past 3 Haw v. Melb games)

Not only are the recruiters stupid; but most of us supporters are as well.  Will never make one iota of difference with our push from 9-14 to 4-8.  None.  Never would.  Liability in speed....goes to ground.  How many bloody players did O'Meara beat home from the Sicily torp.  He gave 4 of us 10 metres start.  Can't hide Jordan back as the +1 for ever.

 

Clarkson and Adelaide have played with the Melbourne Football Club in past year or 2.  Combine that with the stupidity of letting Viney return after 2 weeks following PF surgery.....and the Camp fiasco....

 

This club lacks brains, heart and guts.

Lever was side by side in the middle of the ground, then not even in the camera shot by the end. As bad as Hunt was, we need him back with this press.

After watching that debacle today the last player I would be questioning is Brayshaw! Not the best for us maybe, made some errors yes but kept battling on and getting a lot right by the way,  while many of his more experienced team mates went missing in action. Can’t make mistakes when you aren’t in the contest, how often have we seen this over the last 12 years. We had quite a few older heads not in the action when needed. I suggest you watch the replay WTM.

Admittedly, my stream was in and out for the second half. I 100% agree there were many worse. It was more of me disagreeing with Joeboys assessment than actually thinking Brayshaw was one of our worst. There was a lot of competition for that. 

I just wouldn't call that an 'impressive' performance from Brayshaw. He must have had 7 or 8 touches in the first 10 minutes, then faded out of the game. 

It was a hard day to find a winner for us and tbh I don't think I could sit through a replay of that junk.

    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
