Jones - disposal was iffy

Viney - great second half

Jetta - had little involvement 

O.McDonald - was rarely troubled

Smith - little to excite

Lewis - fumbled too often

Frost - impressive and steady 

Salem - kicking was sublime

Stretch - improved with confidence 

Oliver - 4 impressive quarters 

Gawn - dominated the centre

Fritch - is looking tired

Melksham - was hardly sighted

T. McDonald - provided a target

Spargo - did little well

Hogan - team focused game

Neal-Bullen - effective tagging game

Garlett - on shaky ground

Hibberd - reliable and effective 

Brayshaw - classy and prolific 

Harmes - continued impressive patch

Petracca - more impressive output

 

I'm loving the Salem attention at the moment. His skill in this 22 is massive.

 

Fritsch looking tired?  What game were you watching joeboy?  The bloke had 25 touches and got better as the game wore on.  

Who was ANB tagging by the way?  

Generally agree with the rest, but the Fritsch one is a shocker.

I hope Stretch gets a game next week?

Fritschy was good tonight.

Why wouldn't he? i thought he showed good composure, busted tackles, laid tackle, adds much needed speed why would he get dropped?

 

Fritsch looking tired?

He was clearly a top 5 player and was gliding for mine.

Think ANB was tagging himself - and it worked.


Lewis - 50m penalty was undisciplined and tendency to avoid picking up the hardball looking to soccer it / disposal wasnt as effective perhaps the humidity / not his best

MFC - small forward problems

Garlett did a bit, but not enough. Spargo was similar. We are in desperate need of a solution when the ball is brought to ground inside our forward 50. Melksham and Nibbler are also cooling off meaning we are very Hogan and Tmac reliant for kicking a winning score 

I don't have the answer, but this might be something to address in the draft.

He was tagging the standard of the game and it worked.   But unlikely he was shutting down a specific opponent.  He started on the bench and in the first 15 minutes he can be seen chasing after Sheridan, Hamling, Ryan and Wilson at various points.

Well he has been in the past.

Drop him for Baker. Give him a kick in the ass for a better end to the year!

  • 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.
