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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
