Difficult.

Surprised by the lack of votes for Kozzi. His touches and influence lifted us many times. Pressure, aggression and speed and skill. 

although it is hard to fit everyone in

6. May – rock solid

5. Lever – best game for us

4. TMac – didn’t think he had it in him anymore

3. Spargo – sat the doubters down

2. Langdon – what a banana kick and ran all day

1. Jordon – mightily impressive debut.

Honourable mention to Oliver and Trac (I’m sure they’ll get plenty of votes throughout the season).

6. May - Best defender going around

5. Lever - How blessed we are to have two mature, generals in the back half

4. Petracca - not his best game but made things happen

3. TMac - welcome back, legend

2. Spargo - when he touches it, we score

1. Jordon - was great around the ball but his 1%s were super important

Honorable mention to Ed Langdon, the Energiser bunny.

May and Lever should get 5.5 each. They’re a duo that works off each other like few others.

4 T McDonald. Proved me wrong. Albeit for a week.

3 Oliver. Our stoppage work is below par when he isn’t involved.

2 Petracca. First half was impressive before a knock to his knee.

1 Langdon. His run is vital to us.

Somebody earlier mentioned Gawn and his struggles rolling forward. He lacks and forward craft when he’s required to play anywhere other than deep. He mistakingly lead and moved to areas which meant he was creating congestion for our smaller forwards. In the 2nd half he went back to a more defensive role. He needs to be a threat forward though. Winning hit outs and pushing back limits his overall impact on winning the game.

1. Oliver (although our mids were beaten pretty comprehensively as a unit)

I think the mids were about even, except for the critical part of centre bounce.  Around the grounds fair to middling

100% agree. Probably didn’t have a big day stats wise, but he is high impact. I said it in another thread, but he is going to be very important for us this year.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
