My 3 word player analysis V StKilda

Featured Replies

It’s easy in such a loss to forget how immense Maxxy was - one of the most complete games I’ve seen from a ruckman in my nearly 60 years of watching footy. 

I also love watching Fritsch - the silkiest player we have had since dear old Tulip.

Gawn: 3 Brownlow votes

I agree in part as I was thinking during the match how Max’s amazing performance was reminding so much of that other number 11 circa 1991. Jimmy was amazing in that year. It was a different game back then where he could get to many more contests than any modern day player could, but gee he was a one man force to be reckoned with in those years. And Jimmy is still the perfect prototype ruckman in today’s footy, tall enough, huge endurance, incredible resilience, great mark, reasonable kick.

Good idea maybe you should have your own thread for this?

Gawn deserves a 10. Everybody else is rated too high.

Fritsch and Viney 6

The rest 4 and below.

And scary to think not only what would have happened against the Saints without Max but what would happen for the rest of the season if he went down. 

On Sunday, it was as close to a one man team as you could get.

Yep, and he's only played 58 games;,,, so he and ANB are excellent endurance players, who will learn as the play.  Still immature Re games played.

Yes, he did, and he finally broke double figures for marks taken in a game; with 11 marks. finally.

He had a great game,  Maxy.

 

How assured is Fritsch with the ball in hand.

That comment on Jetta is your lowest amd most disgusting yet

He was not concussed, he had his lip split open

 

You’re probably the most irritating person I’ve EVER met... and I’ve never met you?

This reminds me a bit of the lyrics of this fantastic song (arguably the greatest Australian rock n roll song - ever)

'you're my only friend - and you don't even like me'

 


I find it interesting that we were actually a better side (defensively, at least) this time last year without Gawn or Hogan.

Our mids has to work harder to win the centre clearances, but we did.

Baffles me that we’ve gone backwards this year with key personnel back in the side.

He is a gun. He is such a good kick. Compare his kicking 2 Hannan & Neal-Bullen

Easily BOG for us Chook and his best game for the season.

Fritschkrieg is certainly all class.  I just hope the others start catching a little of his kicking skills and accuracy.  Beautiful to watch.

Jetta was definitely down on his previous form. Perhaps he still wasn’t 100% after the previous weeks headknock, hope he’s good to go this week. 

Gawn: In Brownlow Contention.

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 

 

Too generous.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
