Brayshaw is doing his job. I saw him get a few key takeaways from centre bounces and he plays a bit more on the wing than others.

We don't need everyone racking up huge possessions, though it seems some Demonlanders would like 22 players with 30 touches each....

I'd prefer if he laid a tackle. 0 tackles is pretty poor for a midfielder.

    From a prolific ball winner to a meat and potatoes player. 

    That’s not ‘developing’.

    We need midfield depth. Trade Brayshaw and next year the depth is Jones, Sparrow or Jordon. 

    Sparrow & Jordan look likely to break into the team soon anyway both are developing nicely and both bring something a little different to our mids

    Jordan will get a game soon.  Gives us some things we are missing.

    Sparrow I fear wont play any time soon... hes an inside mid and theres simply no room for him.  I like his game though, and his time will come eventually.

    100% with jordan

    I still like the look of sparrow, good size, clean hands, hard nut mentality, reads the ball exceptionally well and foot skills arent terrible

    What does Jordan offer @DurriePirate, comparatively to others?

    Similar athleticism as J.Smith, bit of extra leap and lateral agility than most but can actually use the ball in hand.

    His disposal is VFL at best. His last piece of play contained 3 mistakes finishing with missing a 3 metre handball by 5 metres.

    Another poor game today. 9 disposals, 2 tackles. Only 65% game time. Perhaps there’s concussion or management issues? He looks unsettled, unhappy, unsure of his role and lacking confidence in everything he does.

    An absolute liability and is being carried. Cant explain his performance or hs attitude. Both stink. Must be traded at the end of the year, clubs will want him and we will get something of value. 

    Really disappointing player. 9 Disposals 2 tackles and 70 m gained.. thats not good enough.  The heat goes on Oliver and teh kid tries his guts out every week and generally plays really well. When will teh heat come for this bloke?

    Gone, Must be traded no Good if he gets selected next week something is seriously bad at MFC!

    He's gone. What's he worth? Teams like Carlton, Essendon, Saints, maybe even Swans who need an inside mid would be keen, but what's he worth?

    Unfortunately Oliver, Petracca and Viney crowd out any other midfielders because they are possession beasts. Angus has obviously been required to take another role . Being an outside mid tonight for us , you were on a hiding to nothing, because their midfield clearances negated his opportunities. MAybe a little more flexibility from our ruckman (who is terrific ) would enable us to go over their midfielders heads and bring the outside mids into play more.

    At one stage tonight the commentators remarked how difficult the role of wingman is in modern football . ( at the time he was referring to Robinson and Langford( who both came into the game later on)   If the ball is going through the other side of the ground the Wingmansrole is to cut off the switch (even by just being in position. No stats there though !! SO maybe Gus is playing a low possession role for the benefit of the team.

    He’s your hobby horse is he? [censored] canned him in game day thread (“disgrace to the jumper” was you exact [censored] poor post) and first person to jump in this thread on him. 
     

    Wasnt great but certainly not our worst. He does need to play midfield or it’s bust.

    What do you reckon cards13

    Taking a dispassionate view, he is not contributing enough when we lose, or have close finishes - plays well when we win - we need a better all round contributor in his place on the ground so need to trade him while he has value for someone that can deliver a more consistent return

    Excuses.

    He was by far our worst player tonight.

    That about sums it up for me LT.  He looked as if he was in about 2nd gear most of the night and was sooking it up coming off the ground.  His attitude is the pits and not a great look for those around him, particularly the rookies.  Time to look elsewhere while he still has a modicum of value.

    Something has to change because what is currently happening doesn't work for anyone.

    It needs to be a change to his role on-field, attitude or both, but there needs to be a change.

    Send him to Freo. He and Hogan can reunite and carry on with their off field shananigans like they were doing in Melbourne. 
     

    it’s funny ... there’s always a pattern

    You reckon he's this years Hogan or Watts mate?

    I’d trade at years end and try and get back into the first round. Be surprised if he get us that though. He’s second round at best right now.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
