Please do this for the Eagles list too. Did anyone play to your standards I wonder?  Such a pesimistic post

T.McDonald - Didn't reward himself

Smith - was well beaten

Lockhart - Was rarely sighted

Margetts - FMD

Seriously, tonight was a good argument for not allowing umpires from home states to umpire when the opposition are from outside that state.

Like in test cricket the umpires must be neutral.

Yes we cost ourselves with poor kicking but that Smith decision was a disgrace and probably cost us the game.

Forget Rampe climbing up a post that had absolutely no effect on the result and his remark to the umpire had even less.

A 12 point turnaround and a player incapacitated.

The WC player will be sighted on the tackle & probably get a week but the umpires dept and Shocking will still try to tell us the umpire got it right...

 

 

Pruess - should have played

Smith - should not have

Jones - slow to react

Fritsch - coughs it up

Stretch - makes poor decisions

Hore - very good game

Frost - positives outweigh negative

Gawn - brilliant & brave

Viney - use ball better

Oliver - use ball better

 

Jones - Was good tonight

Melb - Had a crack

Gawn - Wiped Vardy’s Rsss

Lockhart - Something special emerging

Frost - Petruccelle met kryptonite

Harmes - Great 1st half

Tim Smith - Luck over due

Stretch - never ever finishes

Hore - Great 1st half

Trac - Good and bad

Garlett - Good and bad

TMac - Great and OK

 


Joeboy - closer to  mark

MFC - brave but flawed

Jones - slowing but effective 

Viney -  in and under 

Gawn - an outstanding game

Oliver - exciting  centre chain

Harmes - great first half

Hunt - some impressive cameos

Garlett - goals improved performance 

Petracca - get kicking coach

Salem -  less influence tonight 

Stretch -  tries very hard

Brayshaw - lost in space

T.McDonald - getting better ? 

Frost - confident but costly

Hore - endeavour and composure

O.McDonald - a serviceable game

Wagner - jittery with ball

Smith - dangerous tackle surely?

Stretch - please get out

Petracca- do you train?

Brayshaw- stop slipping over

Oscar- surprisingly good tonight 

Viney- stop taking on

Mcdonald- so damn slow

Wagner- learn to kick

Petty- get in gym

Goodwin- please play preuss

Garlett- go for marks

Umpires- you are [censored]

Smith - better than most !

Umpires - favour West Coast 

Team - Lack Composure totally 

Luck - We had none 

Season - Gone and worsening !

 


Frost - becoming more valuable

Hore - bye bye Lewis

We are missing Lever, May, Lewis, Hibbo and Jets from the back half, I have to give credit to Hore and Frost who have been really solid the past few weeks. If our full backline was available I'm wondering if Hore has gone past others for a spot in the best 22. He is getting better by the week.

Thought Smith was ok in a tough position until he was killed in the last quarter

I’ve given up on Stretch. Really hoped he could make it, but sadly it’s not going to happen for him. Kolodjashnij has his spot if he can ever get on the park.

I felt Oliver tapered off a little when he had a bit of a head clash (not sure if it was second or third qtr) but he was electric before that.

Agree with both, Petracca I'm calling it.. Time to Trade. Momentum killer of the highest order.

Billy Stretch , Similar to Cale the Whale! Prefer others when fit!

MFC - please stand up 

Lost count of the number of times our players slipped over tonight, embarrassing, same thing happened in last year's two games at Optus. And I notice it happening every week, particularly Viney, slips over nearly every time he goes near the ball.

T. Smith- Not AFL standard.

B.Pruess- Where was he?

Set shots- Killed us Again.

Petracca- So [censored] frustrating.

Gawn- One man band.

Long kicks to Mcgovern and co- just so predictable.

Skill level- Not AFL standard.

Football IQ-  just doesnt exist.

Football boots- screw-ins not required

Hore- Stroke of Genius.

Hunt- Has reinvented himself.

Goodwin- Good for 3qtrs

Rest of Season- Couldn't give two...

Elegt harsh & unfair 

 

Petracca should be waking up to a 4 or 5 goal performance in a huge interstate win, but not to be, again.

I actually think he is having an ok year, but he is so close to having a very good year.

Agreed.  Harsh on Jonesy who showed he still gets into the close midfield contests.   He also kicks the footy. His opening goal was very good.

  • 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.
