    78.9% in disposal efficiency

    3rd in meters gained
    3rd in tackles

    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.

    4. Petracca

    3. Rivers

    2. Oliver

    1. Gawn

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
