You must have really high standards for him, I thought he played well and gave him a couple votes

I have Salem in for 1 vote. He showed a lot more endeavour and his kicks went forward and not sideways and short.  I don’t rate disposals efficiency for him sometimes because of the short sideways chip kicks but he was much better on Saturday night. His goal late in the 3rd quarter was crucial and brought us back into the game.  A step forward.

A lot of people giving votes to Salem, it was one of his worst games for a while apart from his goal.

Rubbish a good game frommChrisyian

I was amazed to see the Herald Sun opinion that Pickett was best on ground, a decision not shared by anyone here.

yeah he is not a favourite of many around here. 

he has contributed a lot more than Melksham and others above him, but admittedly no stand out games

Don't quite know about best on, but Kosie did get our team high for score involvements apparently (don't know if that includes his two fairly ordanary misses?).  I do recall him being pretty good in that passage where he did the old one/two handball through the centre of the ground, but don't explicitly recall any others.  Perhaps he is the kind of player who can't be judged on possession numbers alone, but I think he's still a fair way off ripping open games on his own.  You can see the potential, but I'm finding watching him a bit of a frustrating tease at times.

Agree.  But I think it reflects that he's been good most games, but not great in many.

I did think he was quite good around the ground generally against the Giants and did kick a timely goal for us under pressure in the second half.

However, while it's true he's our leading goal kicker,  he's  also kicked more behinds than goals, which for a specialist forward isn't great and I suspect people mark him down for that.

  • 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.
