Andrew Brayshaw, the better Brayshaw?

I think he is. Gus is solid enough, but don’t think he will get back to his best for whatever reason. Andrew is a very good young player.

 

Doing the math, looks like the coaches saw it basically the same. Only difference is they had Lever and Oliver swapped around as 2nd and 3rd best on.


They've got some good young players, Brayshaw, Serong, Cerra. I'd have any of them.

I'm no Goodwin basher but with Gus I really feel that Simon is not utilising this talent and potential. At another club I could see him being in their top 2-3 midfielders.

EDIT
Also, well deserved for May. No way anyone could deny him BOG (though I'm sure the umpires will).

May might actually be recognized by the All Australian selectors this year. Clearly the best full back right now. His kicking is a real weapon.

Clearly at the moment but the older one did snag a 37 possession 3 goal game in 2018.

The regression of Angus has been fascinating (a bad fascinating).

On topic, i can’t recall having a better full back at the club than Steve May. He was brilliant in 2020 and his 2019 was also pretty good once he got on the park for those 7 or 8 weeks.

You can tell he is hungry for finals as much as any other player on the list.

Injuries haven't helped, including the last one (Lisfranc). Seriously compromised preseason, that he's out there at all is an achievement. Thought he wasn't the worst, and he showed more level-headedness than in the past.

May was amazing. Best tall defender we’ve had in a long long time. 10 kicks in the first quarter. Amazing player

Without a shadow of a doubt.

I hope whoever did the votes for The Age is suitably embarrassed. Didn't have May in the top 5 players on the ground.

Probably didn't watch the game.

Or, if they did, they plainly didn't understand what they were watching.

Just unbelievable.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
