Oliver doesn't exactly deserve a vote but there's no one else and he at least continued to put his body on the line through the four quarters. His kicking was deplorable though.

6 - Oscar - You knew from the first play when he ducked back behind his man to allow Georgiades space to run forward that this was his night. The comical stuff from the slowest player in the league continued when he avoided making a play just outside the goalsquare  in the third term.

5 Pickett - Goody loves this guy and it's not hard to see why. Two goals in six games since the break - the same as Cody Weightman - except that's right, Cody was rested. Why. Perhaps Goody could ask Bevo why it's best to temper your excitement with a new toy.

4 Jackson - Action Jackson was everywhere and nowhere. Another kid who needed a break. But no we'll play him against the top side for his development.

3 Oliver - A week off via the tribunal will deprive all of us his exquisite kicking skills and also his favourite game of setting up a mate with a 2m handball. Best thing for him at moment is to sit up in the coaches box and see how a game flows.

2 Brayshaw - The world's best wingman with amazing leg-speed. No wonder the coach won't play him in the middle.

1 Hannan -  Another who needed a break after a fumbly game against Brissy, but go figure. Let's play him again.

While these guys were all eye-catching, the blame falls way more on the coach for not having read the signs that a four-day break might actually require some changes with fresh players.

As evidenced by my votes, I reckon our defense stood up reasonably well, given the speed and frequency that the ball was coming in.

Agree - it wasn’t the defence.  It’s the ridiculous skill errors by our midfield.  All of them.

Very very tempted to bunk this one off. However this is a serious award and deserves serious effort unlike what the boys served up.

6. Hibbo. Purely for touching that kick on the line to save us from another laughing stock blooper to add to the ever-growing MFC reel. At least he showed desperation at times.

I honestly couldn't find 6 players who held their own last night. One of the worst performances I have seen, an absolute train wreck.

AFL website report says Dees best were May, Salem, Gawn and Hibberd. Salem ???  They must have watched a different game. He put other teammates under pressure , missed tackles and went half stepped at the footy. Got caught too often.  Metres gained 150.

6. Gawn (although nowhere near his best game)

1. Salem (but what has happened to his kicking? Or, in BT speak, his ability as the "best distributor of the ball"?)

It wasn't easy finding those six. The rest were shambolic, except for Sparrow who I considered for the last vote.

Salem was garbage last night. The writer must have like his bleached hair because he literally did nothing all night.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
