    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
