Gawn - great under adversity 

Viney - dynamic and inspiring 

Oliver - season’s best game

Lockhart - brave but loose

May - outstanding all game

Lever - safe despite harassment 

Petracca - dominated when required 

Salem - prolific but wasteful

Jones - important last quarter

Melksham - gradually got involved 

Fritsch - rarely sighted early

Brayshaw - last quarter appearance

Langdon - some important touches

Weideman - took his chances

Jackson - played important role

Harmes - continued to disappoint 

Sparrow- brave but limited

Hibberd - was rarely noticed

Tomlinson - was rarely noticed

Neal-Bullen - little to commend

vandenBerg - had limited involvement

    yes we can be frustrating but I have read Sparrow is limited and no good, for a kid who has played a handful of games, he has energy. His time may come.

    Apart from that nonchalant and classy goal Benell just couldn't get into the game. 

    I reckon we have to take the risk and play him regularly to let him work into form

    Harmes. A better game

    I thought so too. He was in our top 4 players in the first half when everything wasn’t looking rosy.

    Agree re Bennell. For me, this year is all about getting up to speed again.

    we basically played one short.  unless he commits to put his body on the line, I'm not sold on playing him

    Agreed DubDee, it's been a great story so far but now it's time for Harley to start get involved a bit more. His aversion to laying a tackle is worrying. The honeymoon is nearly over.

    And Harmes was our chief intercepter. Not bad for 'a guy playing out of position'

    If you're waiting for Bennel to start laying tackles you might want to adjust your expectations. Even at his best he laid an average of one tackle a half. Which is what he did tonight. 

    He def needs to get more touches. Could have thrown him into the cente or a wing in that last quarter. He needs to build his fitness, pace and ball hunting instinct. We dont need another hard nut tackler/body on line. That's not his strengths.

    Brayshaw.... won the game

    (His last quarter performance was why he is in the team... it was a little more than putting in an appearance)

    Tomlinson.... why draft him

    Did we lose by 10 goals, Weidman, is kick 2 goals a game, Hogan's career average,doing everything you want a Ford to do crash packs and kick the goals when I had the opportunities.

    He looks... painfully slow too.

    If he can't go full speed, why are we playing him?  He's clearly hampered by his body or his mind right now.

    Fritsch - stop leading 2 boundryline
    More than 3 words but it's driving me nuts

     

     

    Couldn’t agree more. I’ve said it a thousand times. He leads too wide and it’s either spoilt or goes out of bounds. He should use the corridor more.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
