    6 Viney. He was in the kitchen all night. Great contested footy. Tackles. Clearances.  Hit targets. Great goal in the last.  Definitely our best. Huge heart. 

     

    5 Oliver.  If only he had Pendlebury style disposal.  He’s a beast. Contested footy and tackling were A grade. A few clangers definitely let us down. Work needed but his effort was huge. 

    4 May. Stopped any influence from Hipwood. Continues to be our defensive General. 

    3 Langdon. Good run and carry. Hit targets.  
    I think they could use him more.  

    2 Salem. Steady. Hit targets. A good link through midfield. 

    1 Gawn  Not a big influence but his second effort was good. Needs protection from umps and teammates. Lions were physical on him all night. 
     

    apologies -
    Lever was good again.  Now in form and key part of defence.  Lockhart has a good game. Solid. Trac was okay but was perhaps expecting more. Maybe a vote.
    Melksham can at least kick straight unlike a few others (Weideman!!!! ).

    Gawn was definitely in our best 6 tonight.  Position by position he was the only midfielder who wasn't beaten by his Brisbane counterpart over the entirety of the game.  Neale, Lyons, Zorko, McLuggage pretty much had their way tonight. Whilst it wasn't one of Max's stellar performances he was very good again.  Viney's effort was outstanding after half time and Oliver had his moments as well, despite some less than average disposal early. Tracc played just a game by his now lofty standards, just the one mark and no score. But as a group they lowered their colours.  I'll be really interested in the coaches view of this one.  I reckon a defender or two might pop up.

    The reality is our midfield was well beaten.  Brisbane read the ball better of the ruck, out-pressured us, were cleaner than us, and moved faster than us.

    Our midfielders shouldn't be figuring heavily in the votes, but as individuals you can justify they had a good game (which if you think about, is probably part of the problem).  I found it hard to leave them out as well.

    The Lions also played the umpires better than us, with 10 meter kicks and grabbing/tackling players before possession of the ball.

    Petracca 7 Viney 4 in coaches votes. 
     

    Clearly Viney was our best. Daylight. Tough. 460 metres gained. Numerous 1%s. Great goal in the last qtr. 
     

    Petracca was good but not dominant and didn’t punish with his disposals.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
