The slightest inkling of opponent pressure and Brayshaw becomes a huge liability. He and Oliver come from the same School For Lazy Kickers.

Thank god

Very lazy at times and just doesn't have the ugency or fitness level to play at this level for more than a quarter or so.  Has cost us so many goals over the journey.

Has his moments but too few and far between and murders too many of his non-pressured disposals by foot.

Trade at year's end while there's still value for mine.  We need an inside / outside mid with class who can finish.

Don't know why he's rated on here so highly. Mentioned in 2018 that he was extremely lucky to come third and got hounded down by people on here

Boy did we need that.

Great vision from Trac and then nice skills from Jackson as well.  Good stuff.


If they can play like this.  What happened in the other effin games!!

Jackson good skills

Fabulous stuff from the young fella all day.  Shows his inexperience at times but to be expected and no issue there.

Looks the goods!

    Does Vanders ever hit a target?

    I've been a fan, but he has missed pretty much every target and even dropped a few marks.  Might be time to send a rocket up him by dropping him from the side.

    I love AVB, but gee his kicking has been terrible today.

    Again under no pressure Vanders kicks to a Hawk.

    AVB’s disposal also terrible today. 

    I like him for the toughness he brings to the side, but he suits the chaos ball well - better at bombing it to a contest than trying to hit someone lace out.  He rarely does it.

    Short quarters. The players should be not be fatigued, Ling.

    why would Fritta play on from there?  Just dumb.  Need to pull him up on that in the review.   Solid field position then has to kick back from whence it came.

    But he is getting to where the ball is

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
