He was poor today plain and simple did not mater how tall he is. I said nothing about his height.

the simple fact is he did pull his wait.

First year player who is clearly showing the signs of having played too many games. Badly in need of a rest.

Fair call od ! I reckon he was running out of petrol tickets a couple of weeks ago. And yes, size does come into it. He's only 18 and has yet to muscle up or develop core strength. I would have doubts about his current ability to withstand the rigours of a final.

Give him time though.

    I thought all 22 did well.

    Tyson was good, so I'll put that down to the usual tiresome sledging he cops.

    Spargo wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. His spot could be up for grabs going into finals if the likes of Garlett really get going again, but I'm beginning to lose faith that could happen.

    Watching Jeffy yesterday he doesn’t look interested, wouldn’t surprise if he pulls pin or we trade

    Bought this up before he got selected again, take a 2nd rounder and be done with it.

    Where are all the Jones, Tyson and Handgun Hannan haters? Its taken 21 rounds to find our perfect formula.

    Would have to be Viney for Spargo 1st week of finals.

    A lot of us said he needed the rest and JKH should have played instead.

    They ran the ball out of our forward line without any pressure and that was his role and ANB's.

    Spargo as I said before will be a good player for us.

    As for ANB he is a game killer for us. His turnovers and fumbles are so momentum shifting.

    I don't know about his grunt work I hardly saw him lay a tackle, or get close to an opponent, except when he had the ball and then turned it over.

    Anyway well done guys you deserve your finals chance after a very good year.

    Win next week and we get the chance to pay back the Cats on the G.

    I usually agree with your views, but you are really wrong about nibbler.

    I thought Joeboy had most correct except i agree with most here Dom T was good and Spargo did more than enough and will learn get better and play plenty of great games in the future !

     

    three words - Great Team Effort

    Not bad Joeboy probably a little nice to OMac and Brayshaw on the day, the Eagles were playing through Oscars man when they got back into the game and Brayshaw is still a poor decision maker.

    Harmes - MFCs most underrated 

    Seriously, this guy is becoming a champion. He has been smashing top end opposition players and getting heaps of his own footy. I am a massive fan, he has taken the biggest leap of the players on our list this season.

    I though spargo lost us the game last week against the Swans and almost this week through his inexperience. This can’t happen in finals. For me, Jesse Garret needs to come in for him.

    There were 21 other players on the field against the swans with more experience who wasted the opportunity. Poor post to blame Spargo for that collective debacle.

    Did you see him turn the ball over 7 times last week against the Swans and drop a crucial easy mark and have 14 possies at 50% effectiveness? Did you see him fumble a number of other possible possies? Did you see him get in the way of teammates? 

    Did you watch him today turn over several possies? Did you watch him fumble several possible possies?

    Look at the DL voting right alongside this post and despite playing every game, he is 19th in the voting, even behind Jeffy, who has only played a few games and been poor this year. Seems like most DL's agree about ANB. In that list of 25 players, IMO he is ahead of only Garlett. 

    BTW he is a terrible set shot for goal.

    IMO he is the worst player in the side. Yes someone has to be the worst and IMO he is the one. Sorry about that. Just stating an opinion.

    I don't blame ANB for his play, I blame those that select him.

    Think you were pretty much on the money there Joeboy. Tyson did occasionally slow momentum but I thought his in close stuff was decent.

    In the 3 years after crossing from Carlton he's kicked roughly 40, 30 and 40 goals for us

    Then 2018 comes around & he's going like a busted arse - although has still kicked nearly 20 goals

    He's just turned 29 and appears to still have his pace

    It's be well worth doing some work to find out what the hell went wrong before firing him out of the cannon.

    We're not exactly overcrowded with true small forwards

    Disagree on Petracca. 0 tackles laid

    Petracca is overrated around Mfc.

    He gets a lot of latitude given, because of his touted talents.

     

    Well I haven't seen him rip-open a game. yet.   Put up, or shut up, tracca.

     

    He's more like a little quad bike, than some sort of truck.

    He seemed to have checked out after requesting leave to go home late last year for a personal bereivement. When he came back it seemed his heart wasn't in it any more. His only good game was against Brisbane earlier this year.

    Hate is a pretty strong word to use  for a player of my club, who  I support,  but don’t rate as highly as you do.

    He has had personal issues for a while, that might be the cause.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
