Jones - better on ball

T.McDonald - had a presence

Melksham - a limited impact 

Fritsch - versatile and smart

Lewis - steady all game

Garlett - just some cameos

Kennedy-Harris - justified his place

Neal-Bullen - run and pressure

Hogan - very little involvement 

Harmes - wonderful tagging game

Petracca - continued improved involvement 

Tyson - had a go

Brayshaw - becoming a gun

Frost - confident and important 

Gawn - set the tone

Jetta - was rarely sighted

O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required

Oliver - a class above

Salem - important but iffy

Smith - some important touches

Spargo - tried but overwhelmed 

Vince - just a game

 

Joeboy your assessment of Melksham, Fritsch and Garlett makes me wonder if I saw the same game at all.

Melksham and Garlett were amazing at times while Fritta was ordinary for the second week in a row. Maybe carrying an injury.

 

Tyson : had a go

That is Joeboyspeak for BOG ????


Jetta rarely sighted??

Have to strongly disagree on that one.

Frost: very costly throw

Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.

I think this is pretty spot on. Melksham stiff though.

Frost - pluses outweigh minuses

Lewis - Good for once

OMac - Pants Jelly Jenkins

Tex - Saw Frosty’s dust

Melb - Monkey off back

Spargo - Let tackles slip

Brayshaw - elusive and elite

Oliver - nothing to add

Hogan - Trade in October

i'm not even gonna bite on the hogan thing. i hate his work ethic and he backed out of a lot of physical contests tonight when he needed to go hard.

Jones - missed captains goal

T.McDonald - accurate goal kicking

Melksham - costly banana miss 

Fritsch - love his versatility 

Lewis - handy early goals

Garlett - stop bloody fumbling

Kennedy-Harris - liked him back

Neal-Bullen - orgasm after goal

Hogan - almost embarassing presence 

Harmes - effort effort effort

Petracca - gradually getting better  

Tyson - didn't get pinged

Brayshaw - australia's fav dreamteamer

Frost - costly threw footy

Gawn - basically just hitouts

Jetta - smartly rushed behind

O.McDonald - anti-clutch set shot

Oliver - some crafty gathers

Salem - costly kicking decisions

Smith - just a game

Spargo - several missed tackles

Vince - smart sideways kick


Frost- deserves more love

Come on guys. Frosty isn't in many best 22 conversations, yet here he is getting the job done for us in our 22. Makes some mistakes, but overall has been a huge positive down back. His run and carry is a bonus given none of his direct opponents will ever catch him.

He is actually pretty exciting to watch when he is up.

All players make mistakes, earning his spot imo.

Jesse, was ill during the week, plus he copped a knee in the back last week.

no excuse. he was good enough to play and he was shocking before any knocks. a very polarising player, some love him but his work ethic is poor and he is soft for a big guy. needs to lift

Fritsch only had 8 disposals, which surprised me. I’d say every one of them was important, because I thought he was pretty good on the night.

Melksham was much better than joyboy gives credit for this week.

melksham was good. i just wished he kicked that snap in the last qtr coz i knew it was gonna come down to the wire 

Clayton Oliver - Machine, Robot,  incredible.

Clarry is in a level of his own.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • 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?
