Have you ever seen a better performance from a Full Back? Maybe a handful of Scarlett games.

3 Lever

2 Hibberd

1 Oliver

Beats his opponent and wins the footy and rebounds 

5 Lever - great marks  and spoils and smart tonight

4 Petracca - his goals were the difference. Gd looked cooked and out of sorts but willed himself on 

3 Langdon- run and run and run and wins the footy, an excellent game 

2 Rivers - showed maturity beyond his years, smart and composed and quick and skilled 

1 Salem - important possessions and good run, he is very important 

apologies to Weid Clarry, Maxy and Hibbo until injured.

Apologies to Rivers.  That second half was a beauty from the 5th game rookie.

Good games from Wagner and Hibbo (until injured).   


6. Oscar (by a fair margin)

5. OMac

4. Oscar McDonald

3. May (but only coz Oscar was there to make him look good)

2. TMac for being the brother who got us OMac

1. The rest of the team can share this point (for all being aboard the OMac train)

Oliver and Viney unlucky not to get votes from me. Viney did a great job on steele after half time and Oliver was a bull at the stoppages all day long. Richard Wagner was actually fairly good on return after being a bit fumbly early.

Somewhat surprised that the Weid is so far down the list.  Is one of the form forwards of the comp and his contribution to team structure has been very important to us.  Perhaps another case of awards voting not being a true reflection of player value.

He’s averaging around two goals a game but every week he’s more or less at that average and he’s also having a lot of games where he’s out of the action for periods which isn’t conducive to getting the big voting scores.

6. May

5. Petracca

4. Langdon (great either end of the ground)

3. Salem (composed game)

2. Gawn (back line intercept marks)

1. Viney (for his tag on Steele)

 

The whole back line played well, OMac, Lever, Hibberd, Rivers, even Jones.

I also thought that Spargo, Melky, Brown and Weid, all had important touches or moments. Pickett will be fantastic, creates uncertainty for the opposition. 

That last half of football was the most intense and strong willed from Melbourne that I can remember.  Not greatly skilled perhaps but what a game, and we won a close one....

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
