    I don’t have the energy to pick 6 but I would have Frost in if I did.

    Anyone who can find 6 good players probably were lucky enough to find an unguarded  case of beer by the 10 min mark!

    But to put up 6 names I'll go with:

    Frost

    Pruess 

    Brayshaw

    Jones

    Jetta

    Melskam

    But this is really about who did something good rather than who played well

    6. Gus - Our best mid by a mile today

    5. Frosty - Our best back by a mile today

    4. Salem - Continues his good form.

    3. Viney - Fought like hell while being held without the ball, roughed up and generally scragged at every opportunity.

    2. Oliver - Got a lot of the ball.  Tackled hard.  Set up that opening goal with a pass that was pure [censored]. 

    1. Preuss - He's doing what we need him to do, providing a tall target forward and rucking a bit.  Even put in a few nice tackles.

    Put myself through the replay last night to check if my eyes weren't deceiving me and came up with following.

    6 Salem - Our only defender who regularly laid a tackle.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks).

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions.

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking.

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys.

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points.

    5 Brayshaw - our only midfielder with the confidence to go forward - unlike Clayton who looks as if he is in fear of being tackled and flicks it off sideways/backwards nearly every time.

    4 Frost - The critics won't like it but there were no major howlers and he worked really hard on Bruce (two marks). - - -  has some speed, - has a go

    3 Petracca - Yes he made mistakes, but he was our only lively forward all day and the only one who looked dangerous even if he ballsed it up on occasions. - only player who has had some Acid applied to him over Pre - season

    2 Hore - Plenty of intercepts and in general safe with his kicking. - a player worth watching, to see how he goes

    1 Viney - Huge first half trying to lift the guys. - playing under duress

    Preuss had some memorable moments early but faded again and big Max spanked Marshall, but the stat that worries me was just 11 pressure points. - gives some hope... but needs to do a lot of 2019 in-season, away from club distance running... to work his engine overtime.  He needs to be  MUCH  fitter for 2020.

     

     slow is out Now with 666.  unless they have special skills.

    Tom Mc and the Weid  zero points after 5 games, yet  huge no of inside 50’s in a number of our games. Don’t get how they couldn’t have 1 point with nearly a quarter of the season gone. Something fishy going on. TMac injured? Weid already got at?

    Mention to Fritsch. In a backline that is almost always on red alert he uses it every single time.

    • 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.
