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...

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • NON-MFC: Round 14

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
