    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)

    5. May

    4. Hibberd

    3. Petracca

    2. Lever

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
