Juk3b0x - great 37th post

Thanks @binman ? Have gone for quality over quantity over the years... particularly enjoy Joeboy’s contribution each game day, and I was irked!

Just to stay on topic:

Brayshaw - Barbieonions the ball butcher

 

GAWN    the match winner

Petrac     another match winner

Oliver       Yet another star

Weid         Form of 2018

Fritta         finally coming good

Oscar        you belong here

Hibberd     proving doubters wrong

Picket        coming along well

Bennell      clean and cool

Hannan      will get better

Jackson     is our future

Langdon     great pick up

REST OF TEAM    all played part.

 

 

Joeboy - serotonin levels up

Gawn - lion hearted performance

Viney - beast is back

Petracca -  infinity and beyond

Jetta - experience plus composure

May - attacking defensive mentality

McDonald - Oscar for Oscar

Salem - lose Hollywood tinsel

Hibberd - less run today

Melksham - leather poisoning unlikely

Fritsch - better off leash

Jackson -  some terrific involvements

Pickett - creative pocket dynamo

Bennell - classy forward contributions

VandenBerg - physicality on show

Brayshaw - simmering off boil

Oliver - just add polish

Hannan -  set ball rolling

Weideman- stamped his presence

Harmes - synchronicity off kilter

Langdon - ever ready energiser

Lever -  clever football IQ

Lockhart - must be 1%'s

Goodwin - praiseworthy coaching performance

MFC -  made footy combative

Umpires - some possession clangers

 

 

Team - played their role

Finally the selection carousel is coming around to perhaps the best balanced group to play a high level attacking game plan. Let it settle and develop for a few weeks.


As others have said I think Brayshaw showed glimpses this week. He took risks which in the main did not come off but they will.

I'm not sold on AVB but he got a pass from me today.

Gawn - Dominated the game

Viney - Great with ball

Petracca - Remember the name

Jetta - Getting better still 

May - Best game yet

McDonald - Great with Lever 

Salem - Attitude was great

Hibberd - Recapturing his form 

Melksham - Sprinkle of class

Fritsch - Very consistent form

Jackson - Seemed to belong 

Pickett - Has it all 

Bennell - Classy with ball

vandenBerg - Tough and smart 

Brayshaw - Needs to lift 

Oliver - Good not great

Hannan - Made a difference 

Weideman - Best game yet

Harmes - Needs to lift

Langdon - Speed is crucial

Lockhart - Is getting better

Lever - Composure, leadership and smarts

Easy to see favourites here. Kozzy versus Melksham.  Too much praise for the first - yes, he's exciting to  watch and he kicked two goals. But only 6 disposals at 66% efficiency. He's got talent all right and one day he might rival Farmer. But not now. 

Not enough recognition of the latter. Melksham played his role. Nine disposals at 88% efficiency and five marks and a goal. 

Credit where it's due.

 

A very nice win yesterday,      No Changes, keep it settled,   All played their role, some previously seen as out of form, getting back to better games.  Damm nice to win well over the Hawks...

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
