Jones - age catching up

Viney - great when unburdened

Fritsch - was all class

Hogan - ten minute game

Harmes - played with heart

Brayshaw - prolific but wasteful 

Lewis - often a liability

Melksham - playing slow motion

T.McDonald - was probably injured

Neal-Bullen - an irrelevant player

Petracca - plenty of nothing

Tyson - a dumb player

Weideman - nothing to commend

Gawn - one man team

Hannan - devoid of ability

Hibberd - reduced to amateurish

Oliver - rarely found space

Petty - debut to forget

Salem - undisciplined and disappointing 

Smith - little to praise

Jetta - was still concussed

O.McDonald - was emphatically embarrassing

    Selection = Some pace please

    I'm not saying we have much in this area but FCS time to roll the dice on anyone with a bit of toe.  Time for Baker, Stretch and last roll for Garlett.

    Disagree with a lot of this.

    Hibberd played well. Salem was good. Smith was good. Jones was good. Lewis made blunders, but his composure and skill was first class again.

    i actually thought that nathan Jones was good. I thought him and gawn were standouts wih fritsch being serviceable. everyone else was disgusting. where was the defensive mindset? weak as p!$$

    Thought Petracca played better this week. Gawn was excellent. Clarity down on usual.

    Nitpicking over individual performances is pointless after a game like todays.

     We got beat by a team that was better on the day.

    That being said, Dom Tyson sucks.

    Harsh on Hibbo. Never stopped working. The rest are probably right, maybe Salem and Smith were a little stiff as well.

    BB29 I disagree about Petracca, disappears for loooong stretches of the game, then does something brilliant ( this is frustrating) This is the first time I reckon I think StK got it right by selecting McCartin

    Interesting, is it about expectation based the Trac’s potential? I thought he battled on today and did some good things but yes he could not turn the game on it’s head. But I can’t remember him being responsible for an absolute howler whereas how many of our guys coughed up the ball with embarrassing errors? 

    We all hope for more but today he put in, I thought.

    disagree with Hibberd, thought he was best backman, agree about TMac and Nev, both shouldn't have played. And at the moment Hannan is a complete waste of space, Jeffy would have given a contest, this bloke is scared of contact!!!!

    Pass Marks:

    Gawn

    Hibbo

    Fritsch

    Harmes

    Viney

    Brayshaw ** (was lazy with disposal - but tried)

    That's it. Honestly, that is all i can find. i think Salem tried and others as well, but trying hard should be mandatory.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
