Jones - a broken man

Viney - devoid of ideas

Gawn - our only champion

Oliver - prolific without benefitting

Brayshaw - couldn’t hurt opposition 

Hore - tried but loose

May - a welcome addition 

Lever - glad he survived 

Fritsch - lost in battle 

Salem - probably suffering concussion 

Frost - a major loss

Hibberd - past his best

Baker - stunned by headlights

Harmes - gave his all

Petracca - seemingly without purpose 

Hannan - had little involvement 

Weideman - hardly gave yelp

Spargo - couldn’t justify selection 

Garlett - an embarrassing performance 

Hunt - tried but failed

T. McDonald - played without heart

Wagner - little to commend

 

 

Bit harsh on Braysahw and Hore. We looked a lot more purposeful with Max, Clarrie, Gus and Harmesy around the ball.

Jones - Retire gracefully champ

 Viney - Bullocking without brains 

Gawn - Elevated reputation further 

Oliver - Hampered by injury 

Brayshaw - Tried but outclassed  

Hore - Gone past Jetta

May - Cavalry arrives finally 

Lever - Solid considering lay-off  

Fritsch - Brave and polished  

 Salem - Rattled by bump  

Frost - Missed his pressure 

Hibberd - Staggering form loss 

Baker - Plenty of potential  

Harmes - Tried guts out 

Petracca - Better in middle  

Hannan - Straight to Casey 

Weideman - Didn’t do enough 

Spargo -  Not enough tricks 

Garlett - Last Melbourne game  

Hunt - Wasted in attack 

T. McDonald - Laughing after loss 

Wagner - A witches hat

It was a better blend this week against a tough side. Viney disappoints - limited options in his game now.

Hard on Wiedeman.    can be excused until we learn to kick accurately or to space. In the mean time he continues to learn his craft the hard way.Mc Donald on the other hand needs a rest or spell at Casey.

Another disgraceful effort by you JoeBoy - makes me wonder if you actually ever go to the game.

Fritsch - best game 2019

Brayshaw - shades of 2018

Harmes - our prime mover

Petracca - another step forward

Weid - finally showing something

Jones - Can’t hit target

Viney - lost his tricks  

Gawn - gives it everything 

Oliver - kick the football

Brayshaw - leave in middle

Hore - better than most 

May - won his battles  

Lever - will only improve  

Fritsch - look better today

Salem - something wasn’t right  

Frost - missed his dash

Hibberd - past his best

Baker - deserves another chance 

Harmes - only composed mid

Petracca - untapped potential frustrates 

Hannan - had little involvement 

Weideman - given no chance 

Spargo - coughed up regularly 

Garlett - physicality is embarrassing  

Hunt - only moving target  

T. McDonald - useless legless liability

 Wagner - little to commend

Salem : Got sore head

Petracca : Strong at ground level

Garlett, Spargo : Too many fumbles

Harmes : Strong Competitive midfielder

Brayshaw : Attacking Inside Mid

Brayshaw : Tighten disposal

Team : Only kick to space /Make them run into kick

Hannan : Learn right foot

Gawn : Great Great Great

Hore : Find of Season

Lever : Settled and survived

May : Showed good promise

Frost : Missed him (did not think I would ever say this)

Oscar Mc : Cannot be blamed this week

Clarrie : Three more blinks per disposal = massive improvement to side

Tom Mc : Too many roles

 

I thought Harmes was good, and tried hard!

Weid was much better, and looked more confident. He'll get better, especially once he starts getting some better delivery

Trac was much better in the midfield.

Fritter was decent. I think he provides much better value up at half forward.


Weid was our best forward.

Tmac should go back to Casey against Freo - he’s not going to find the form at this level. He’s had 12 weeks.

I’m not 100% convinced he’s injured. Has not once alluded to it in interviews and has continuously talked about his form issues and ways to try and get out of his slump.

I think Petracca will be traded especially if Dunkley comes on.

Well that will  not happen!!!

Max - Superb Supreme Sublime

Both he and the Weid DO NOT lead to ball carriers. Both drop back and oppo just cut us off to often.

Petracca was good today...the only one who didn't fumble & looked poised with ball in hand.

If Weeds was the filth would kick 5 plus per game!

Looking at our forward line today and most of the season,  l reckon there are a lot in the queue ahead of him. Probably all the forwards actually.

In a decent side with a properly functioning forward line l think he would go ok.

Hilarious. Your name perfectly describes your post.

I actually agree with you,  apart from Hunt.  Isn't he our leading goal kicker this year?

Problem is, he should be taking leaps and bounds, not steps. He started well, but I felt went missing for long periods in the game.

He is. What an indictment!

Hunt for me is a back flanker every day of the week and twice on Sundays. We miss his run and carry greatly.

Do we? For the most part our midfield and backline performed admirably yesterday. There was some skill errors coming out of the back 50 but that was attributable to collingwoods pressure and besides God knows Hunt isn't going to help with skill.

If we are going to have a pure defencive forward like ANB was last year I think Hunt is a good choice. At least he has genuine pace.

  • 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?
