Gawn - stood up outstandingly

May -  an elite performance 

Langdon - prolific and indefatigable 

Oliver - slightly off key

Petracca - was the difference 

Salem - reliable and tight

Rivers - calm and composed

Hibberd - some important clearances

Wagner - rarely looked confident 

Brown - important in fourth

Brayshaw - continues to confound

Tomlinson - jury is out

Viney - couldn’t get going

Melksham - continued disappointing season

Weideman - ten minute performance 

McDonald - slow , not terrible 

Spargo - little to commend

Brown definitely deserves another week. He also looks as quick as Usain Bolt compared to Tmac out there.

 

Wagner : Did his job

Melksham : important link

Salem : best game tonight


 

Pretty much bang on. I was not confident about Wagner but I thought he played a decent game in the end.

While it wasn't Gawn's best performance he certainly battled hard and did everything possible.


Petracca      4 great goals

May              His best performance

Oliver            Great last Quarter

Langdon       Is all class

Lever            Back to best

Wagner        give him credit

Rivers           is our future

Gawn           Lead us well

Oscar           Played his role

Viney            gives his all

Salem           consistent as always

Brown          presented all day

spargo          missing in action

                      Rest team effort

 

 

 

 

 

Gawn - didn't appear hampered

May -  Worth every cent

Langdon - Continued underrated season

Oliver - Slow first half

Petracca - 2 or 3 (votes)

Salem - important final kick

Rivers - Looks a find.

Hibberd - has found form

Wagner - just a game

Brown - easily surpassed McDonald 

Brayshaw - disappointing from start

Tomlinson - one needed mark

Viney - resorted to tagging

Melksham - lost lateral movement

Jones -  very costly mistake

Lever - much improved performance 

Weideman - 2 goal quota

McDonald - Casey scorpion reserves

Spargo - very uninspiring display

vandenBerg - makes us slower

Hannan - cant hit scoreboard 

Pickett - starting to worry

Trac - Star to Supernova

A bit harsh on Wagner. I thought he worked his way into the game well and played his part in an increasingly accomplished back half.

Watch the game again. This was Tomlinson’s best game for us so far. He played very well.

Absolutely agree esp in last quarter!!

Viney - stopped Steele influence

Spargo - some tackling pressure 

Wagner - better than usual

Tomlinson - some good things

We can’t expect to be a real threat until we can get consistent effort across the park. A lot of passengers each week and it costs us too often, this week we got off lucky

Oliver - critical last quarter

May - another AA performane

Viney - tagging role worked

vandenBerg - having no impact

Jones - unfortunately played terribly

I don't understand this point about passengers.

You don't get that defensive structure without everyone on board.

We had players that made mistakes with ball in hand and some of those might miss a game next week, but we shut down a very good running team with a stunning 18-man defence.

One example I would give is Brayshaw. Had a quiet night but he ran constantly from east to west to combat the Saints spread and switch. That's not a passenger in my view.

On a side note, another point I would make is that defensive efforts are not always reflected in tackles or any other stat. Sometimes corralling and forcing a kick to an advantageous position is better than a tackle.

Don't get me wrong, this performance was far from perfect and we have plenty of players that need to get better around the ball and with ball in hand, but you don't get a performance like that from May, for example, without everyone pulling their weight, defensively.

Agree, looked to be really busting a gut all night. There was one where he didn't quite get to the ball carrier but put on just enough pressure to impact the kick inside 50 which we marked.

Won't get a stat but that is exactly what we need from every player. And didn't get from every player last week

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
