I think I would give Harmes a 9 or10 tonight 'Pick'...he beat Selwood up then did the job on Danger.

He's a tough kid and moving along nicely no matter what those who think he should be dropped every week say.

Nobody ever deserves a 0. 

Omac was hung out to dry and still had the composure to take a good mark and kick the ball nicely to Trac with a minute left. He had no help on Hawkins. They should have put Frost or TMac on him one minute into the last quarter. 

I am disappointed that I am yet to see Hogan ever stand up in big games. He is not a pressure player.

Not sayin it was but was comprehensively beaten!! Would Rance have been as compromised??

No because his teammates do not leave him out to dry. When they do, he takes dives and hits players while they’re down.

I thought Oscar was great tonight

he got no help from most of his team mates, apart from Jetta

Just a statistical take on tonight to compare (somewhat objectively lol) to yours PF.  Keep in mind Max would usually place higher as i can't factor in hit outs to advantage.  Harmes played a pretty tough lock down role so his rank is probably skewed as a result.  Clarry a furlong ahead of anyone else and nearly got us over the line with that performance tonight IMHO.....

Which part SW?  The ultimate role of a defender, especially a key one, is to defend and keep your opponent from scoring too often (ie., limit the damage). Struggles to hold the better key forwards in the comp when the question's asked.

Goody stuffed it in part by stubbornly refusing to move him off Hawkins earlier, but O-Mac has to accept part of the blame surely?

Hawkins is a huge man. You cannot expect OMac to match him. Hawkins is twice the size

He ran off him well

Goodwin f@&$ked up not OMac

Bit harsh on the players that got 4 they should have at least got 5. JKH and O.Mac deserve a 0 even Hogan deserves a 0.

I didn't think he ran off him in a damaging sense at all SW.  If he can't handle Hawkins one on one (keep the goal scoring to 3 to 4 max) or any other decent KPF then what is his role in the team?  Goody should therefore not  play him at all.  Would be better off playing Keilty or Pedders in his place and having Frost take the big boys from the get go.

Anyway, it's the same old same old at Demonland.  Whenever a chance to secure a sound spot in the Top 4 or 8 becons, we always blow it.  Still have a very soft under belly against the rated clubs.

he should never have played on him from the start. 

MOVE PLAYERS AROUND

OSCAR CAN RUN. 

 

USE IT

He's our full back but he not good enough to play there so he shouldn't be in the team. Frost can't be trusted should be on the second tall. Give Keilty a go at least he has some strength about him.

Jones a 4 is a joke.

Oscar and JKH scores are fair.

Our bottom six are NQR.

Agree. We finally have some players at, or stepping up to, elite level.

Sadly, our bottom six are absolute duds.

Scores for Jones, Milkshake and Brayshaw very harsh

Oscar was a lamb to bad coaching, not his fault, give Goodwin a 0 for that persistence

  • 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.
