Brayshaw - a downward spiral 

Chandler - not enough evidence

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

Hunt - rarely beat opponent

Jetta - never got going

Jones - time has elapsed

Keilty - didn’t show out

Kennedy-Harris - probably exhausted chances

Kolodjashnij - ruined by injury

Lever - will be better 

Lewis - professional until end

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

Spargo - just a schoolboy

    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.

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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
