6. Hoges presented, ran his opponent ragged and brought teamates into the game 

5. Brayshaw - fantastic over 4 quarters and using the ball so well and strong at the clearances

4. Lever - very polished performance and very composed down back

3. Oliver - we take for granted what Clarrie does, he just does it with ease

2. Viney - Was typical JV hard at it and along with Clarrie Brayshaw and Max dominated the clearances

1. Nibbler - don't underestimate his running to create options and be vital as link up through transition.

Apologies to Bernie, Melksham, Hibberd, Jones and Jetta

............ and all of Lever, Oliver, Nibbler, Melksham and Vince could be added to that list, and not a single Demonlander would quibble!

6 - Brayshaw - The guy gets better each week. Works so hard. This is what we waited for

5 - Hogan - An impossible match up right now. Does damage anywhere.

4 - Jones - Another Nathan Jones game. Rarely wastes a possession

3 - Viney - Back in a big way, accelerating out of contests 20 contested possessions. Not 100% match fit yet but getting there. 

2 - Hibberd - Always uses it. Responsible for many good plays off half back.

1 - Lever - A man possessed! Frustrated Crows attacks repeatedly.

A lot of guys were stiff. Maxy was sensational, would back him in against Simon Madden right now, Nibbler is back and lethal where it counts, and Milkshakes who is just a score involvement merchant.

Not the best performance overall yet great at times. Bad errors mixed in with some great play so we still have room to improve even on today’s great win.

In terms of real impact I saw it as:

6. Hogan

5. Hibbo

4. Viney

3. Lever

2. Melksham

1. ANB

Bit surprised at Salem, thought he made lots of mistakes and disposed poorly.

Salem was very effective in the first half especially linking up across the middle and half back.

I would like to have fitted Lever in RTG because he played a top game under enormous pressure but jeez Clarrie just got such a shitload of the ball!

He's a Romsey neighbour, isn't he?

Chook, I am the consistent glass half full guy not the guy that is ecstatic one week and threatening to throw myself off a building the next if things go pear shaped. We were generally good today but better sides will make you pay more for skill errors then the Crows did today.

Just out of interest the top 10 players statistically based on a weighted compilation of averages after Rnd 10 are....

1.  Clarry  5.14 (weighted score)

2.  Viney  4.37*

3.  The Jones Boy  3.74

4.  Lewis  3.69

5.  Gus  3.54

6.  T-Mac  3.52

7.  Hogan  3.50

8.  T Smith  3.41*

9.  Gawn  3.19#

10.  Harmes  3.10

*Denotes only 2 matches played so far ie., very small sample size vs others shown.

#Does not include hit outs to advantage, a stat specific to ruckman only.  Adding a token 0.75 to Maxy's result for example, would provide a more accurate picture of where he would likely be sitting if one was able to include the stat and somehow make it relative to the other scores.  That would put his score at approx 3.94 just behind Viney and technically at No.2 if you excluded Viney from the count having played only 2 matches so far vs 10 for Big Maxy.

I think if we have a better than 10 goal win we should allow for some extra votes because it is for sure a team winning in style. BTW 7 points Goodwin.

that said:

Hogan-it was 28 degrees people,  and he ran like an Ethiopian and kicked straight and a few score assists. 

Angus-how damaging is a player that can use both feet.

Hibberd-(Lever as am alternate) early on this pair ruined every crow attack

Clarry-(Gawn could just as easily sit here) Contest King

Viney-the crows were scared of him.

Jones-taken for granted, he is still a beast.

finally... Jetta ANB Melksham are ripped off.

Think i am going to google some SA newspapers and maybe the SA forum.

    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
