Baker - showed some signs

Brayshaw - a downward spiral

Dunkley - needs significant development 

Fritsch - a classy forward

Frost - consistent and passionate 

Garlett - didn’t seem interested 

Gawn - our singular champion

Hannan - cruelled by injury 

Harmes - success as tagger

Hibberd - seemingly rarely fit

Hore - courageous and promising 

Hunt - rarely beat opponent

Jetta - never got going

Jones - time has elapsed

Keilty - didn’t show out

Kennedy-Harris - probably exhausted chances

Lockhart - a bit player 

May - will be important 

O.McDonald - rarely surprised supporters

T.McDonald - our biggest disappointment

Melksham - best rarely seen

Neal-Bullen - rarely justified selection 

Oliver - prolific, rarely outstanding 

Petracca - exciting in bursts 

Petty - showed some promise 

Preuss - rarely justified selection

Salem - disappointing second half 

T.Smith - tried but deficient 

Spargo - just a schoolboy 

Stretch - has exhausted chances

Viney - never got going

C.Wagner - only Casey standard

J. Wagner - like his brother

Weideman - poor before injuries

 

I find myself disagreeing with your 3 word analysis often - but this one is pretty much spot on. 

 

Great summation Joeboy.  Have enjoyed your work all season - much more than the performance of the team.


 

Goodwin - clock is ticking

Football department - trade period important

National Draft - need an A-grader 

 

T Mac was very disappointing in the first half of the year but I feel this assessment would’ve been different had he not got injured.

In 2 of the last 3 games he played, he had a direct influence on our wins vs Freo and Carlton and appeared to be on an upward trajectory.


Retired

Lewis & Maynard

Need 5-6 more to go

Garlett - cooked

Hannan - between injured and too big a difference from his very good to awful

J Wagner - tries hard but lacks skill & reading of the game

keilty - good - very good VFL, just not AFL

Hore - very good plus at VFL, under pressure at AFL doesn’t make it, very close, Pies let very few good ones go!

T Smith - almost good enough but 29

C Wagner - VFL very very good, maybe survives as back up!!

There are a few older players who need to hit back next year, such as Hibberd and Jetta. I think Garlett will be gone, and I think Jones will get one more year, but won’t be best 22 imo.

VG but a little tough on Hore. I think he has the desire to work on deficiences.

Only two I have major misginings about getting rid of are Hore and Corey Wagner. oth of them were 1st year players and need a bit of time to develop. Hore did not come back from his injured shoulder real well. Cory shwed a bit of go in the last couple of games , enough to indicate he is picking up the pace. A bit like Lockart and Dunkley. A fair bit of upside from all of them.

I don't always agree with your 3 word analysis JoeBoy, but I do enjoy reading them - thanks!

Lockhart a bit better than a bit player, I think you’ve nailed the rest

Agree. I have high hopes for him. I hope he proves you wrong Joeboy.

  • 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?
