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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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

    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
