No other votes. Sick of f*cking losing, and the guys above were the only ones who put in today.

Vandenburg, No no no

got a lucky goal.  Constantly outmatched and outmarked by Allir. Fell over. Several missed tackles. Not the worst but not in the best

Just got back.  Interesting spread of votes.  I thought Oliver was great in the second half, Frost had a great first half and did some good stuff in the second.  Salem was good all day as was Harmes.  Brayshaw solid enough and Tyson was good.  I thought Jones was poor with both decision making and skill.  Spargo will be good player but he isn't up to it yet; Hunt and Jeffy both pretty average.  Gawn is just so dominant it's hard to believe our mids don't make more of it.

6 - Harmes
5 - Salem
4 - Brayshaw
3 - Oliver
2 - Frost (I thought he did really well tbh, at no stage did I think Franklin was beating him. When Franklin got on top it was through their slick ball movement and our inability to cut his leads off)
1 - Tyson

I've got no idea how you could draw this conclusion from today. I thought he was outstanding and one of the few who stood up at all critical moments.

No way.

Yes, he kicked three goals. But his inability to compete with Aliir was a huge reason why they got on top. He couldn't beat him one-on-one, he couldn't block or body him, he couldn't get to the contests and he couldn't stop the rebound. I thought he was really, really poor (but yes, the three goals were important).

Usually too [censored] off to give votes after a game like but some efforts deserve recognition even after what the yanks call a cluster [censored] like that.

Harmes . a terrific all round game. took it on when needed and battled all day.

Clarrie. tagged but still got plenty of it. forgive his kicking

Brayshaw. See harmes above.

It gets tougher now

Omac.  Did what he had to and played with some composure

Salem. Tried and showed his class

Vanders. Far from perfect but he was played as a forward and kicked 3 .

6 Salem - Cleanest of our ball users all day and is now our most trusted defender. Hope his run in middle late was out of desperation and not something we will try at start next week.

5 Harmes - Love how everyone now realises how important he is. However his job was to stop Josh Kennedy for much of the day. If I was giving Brownlow votes it was 3 Heeney, 2 Salem 1 Kennedy, Harmes or Lloyd.

4 Tyson - fantastic second quarter and constant provider of drive from his wing. Opponent Hannebery did get it a bit too much though. 

3 T.Mac - He missed a couple early as nerves took hold of side but came back later to nail a couple, including the one from outside 50m which was a gem.

2 Brayshaw - what a first term, although ultimately unable to hugely impact scoreboard. 

1 Petracca - Handy as marking outlet up the line, but looked more dangerous than he actually was.

Olly and Jones - had their moments but their kicking was down compared to normal.

All other players drifted in and out of it, including our favourite big fella.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
