    6. Hibberd. He’s back! Defending really well, strong contest work and lowering his eyes more going forward. Great two weeks now

    5. Trac. Unlucky not to get BOG but had to go forward to give us a target for a while and unfortunately no one could get it to him. Should have played mid all game and could have had 35 touches.

    4. May. Love his body work and aggression in the contest. Thought he did a good job giving away significant inches to Lynch.

    3. Gawn. Just another Gawn game. Still was great but dropped a couple marks I’d expect him to take and shanked am attempt to punch through for a point that nearly cost a goal. Unfortunately Max sets a high standard for himself.

    2. Hannan. Only had minimal opportunities and took advantage of them. 

    1. Hard to pick one.... I dunno - Salem probably. Was better than last game and was not bad.

    6 Gawn  Tried his guts out , won hit outs, took marks  got to the back 50, good disposal 

    5 Petracca. Earned 4 votes for his first qtr alone . Died out as fumbled but two good kicks created goals in last qtr   Needs to kick it more   

    4 Hibberd  worked hard , good defence , despite some skill errors he kept trying to create 

    then daylight

    3 May  strong defence today and looks to bring others in from his rebounds  

    2 Hannan.  For 3 goals. Took limited opportunities   

    1 Fritsch.  For presenting as a forward.  Kicking needs work still. 
     

    apart from Harmes , the rest were mainly passengers.  Oliver and Viney hurt us from their ineffective turnovers. Killed us in fact.

    - 2 Oliver 

    Not just the shocking turnover from the free kick, but also setup Smith with an absolute hospital handpass to the feet deep in defense.  I hardly recall him having an effective possession all game.

    At his best he Oliver can be highly effective, but right now he is tottaly wasting it and turning it over all over the shop, if not directly, but setting up others for failure.

    His turnover likelihood is now immense, coupled with the assured slow-down of play and possession, then turnovers, demonstrated by Viney.  Salem's game does not help, either.

    (Hannan needs to do more than a few flashy cameos to get votes from me. But I am pleased to at least see those occasional sparks from him.)

    I can’t see how Salem gets votes. He was getting handball receives but not often in the contest. He has also been a culprit of a slow slow style. His delivery is often short 15 metre kicks. I held high hopes for him as a Houli type running half back but he’s not quite there.  He was not the worst yesterday but not deserving of votes.

    That's exactly why I gave him votes. We lack players who can create damage on the outside. Salem is one who can do that, so it's better when he's not "in and under". What I don't fully understand is why he is given a lock-down role as a HBF at the same time that he appears to be needed as the receiver.

    He appears to be carrying a leg injury of some kind very slow to pick himself up on a number of occasions. Really not playing the way that we all expected!!

    I agree. He appears restricted. Definitely not as energetic or at the contest as I would like to see.  Not capable of a creative midfield role right now imo

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
