    6. Clayton Oliver....Runs his absolute guts out all day and is adding layers to his game by taking responsibility and care with disposals, could win Brownlow if he continues on this path.

    5. Christian Salem....Have not seen him play a more influencial game, showed urgency and was constantly breaking lines.  Been pretty harsh on Salem at times for cruising and not doing enough for the talent he has.  Many more games like this please, we become a much better team with him playing at such a level.

    4. Adam Tomlinson...Has been an absolute rock down back, can play on bigs or smalls and just seems to be doing the right thing so often.  I breathe easier when he is in the vicinity.

    3. Kysaiah Pickett....His best game by far.  Every time he gets near the ball you can sense that anything is about to happen.  Has so much x-factor about him he is going to be a ridiculously good player.  i got the feeling Pickett/Spargo are feeding off this thing called pressure and they love to create it.   They both are so exciting atm!

    2. Ed Langdon....Just another game for him, but he just works so hard and consistently creates options.  Love him as a player, he is getting better too!

    1. Christian Petracca....Not overly his night, he fluffed so many opportunities!  He worked so hard in the 2nd half to exert his influence around the stoppages, and turned an average game, into a good one in the end.  He just needs to play his role, stop trying to do too much at times and play the percentages a little more.

    Host of players unlucky to get votes but pretty damn proud of just the overall effort from the whole team.   Hard to pick any passengers from that game.  Hunt/Brayshaw perhaps the least influencial but both played their roles really well.   Guys like Melksham/Hibberd/Dawes are really going to have to bash the door down to get a look in.  FInally players have to earn their spots. Bodes well for our future!

    How so many can have Pickett out of the votes astounds me. His influence over the game was immense. We desperately lack speed class and pressure up forward. 

    If he can get 17+ touches most games we are in for a great year

    Honourable mention to the entire small forward brigade - Spargo, ANB et al. - before this season, I thought that our success would hinge on our forward pressure. Round 1 showed we might be able to win in other ways but round two belonged to our small forwards whose pressure was off the charts.

    Surprise Steele only got 1 vote between both coaches. He impresses me as a player.

    Well done to Salem for getting the 5 from one of the coaches.

    That spread of votes (mostly comprising Dees players) is more reflective of a 7+ goal win.

    I didn't get around to voting, but if votes were being given for excitement value, he would have got my top votes. But for actual performance, I can understand why he wasn't in everyone's votes. The wide spread of names in the votes shows how even the perfromance was across the board. Pickett missing out is no insult to his performance.

    For what it's worth my votes would be:

    6. Oliver

    5. Salem

    4. Gawn

    3. Petracca

    2. McDonald

    fair enough, I guess we all see if differently. As evidenced by one coach giving him 3 votes and the other none!

    6. Clarry - Oh boy...what more can you say!

    5. Salem - Busboy of the MFC

    4. May - Stonewall

    3. ANB - The everywhere man.  Gets to the right spots so often and often the first link receiver (distributor) around congestion.  Appeared to be on Jones or near him much of the time.  Got the ball often enough to keep him quiet.  Pressure and run first rate.  Presented well for many link up plays both marking and score involvements on the night.  A few clangers but one of his more productive effective games for the club IMV.

    2. Tracc - Lots of possessions. Many of them extracted under heavy pressure / traffic and difficulty.  Lots of wasteful disposals though including reckless shots / bombs at goal.  Rolls out onto his right automatically far too often for my liking without assessing first.  On Sat this often saw him facing no clear target/s to kick to and he then dumped it to no man's land for nil advantage, a rushed behind or the turnover/rebound.  Mixed amongst that was some great running and evasive work to present and mark on the lead.  Fix some of the flaws he could end up as one of the greats and just maybe win a Chas.

    1.  Kozzie, Kozzie Kozzie! - 19 years of age in only his 16th match and we see a glimpse of an emerging star of the comp.  Lots of work to do but Kozzie ain't waiting.  He's obviously decided now is as good a time as any to say "HELLO" to the AFL comp.  That was electric and can't say i've seen anything like it in a small package at Demonland since the Wiz hit the seen in 95/96.  I still recall the mark over Gazza against the Tigers at the G.  That was billed as a big day for the Tigers with a huge build up from them aiming for a win or small loss to make finals (a bit like our final round disaster against the Pies in 2017) and we came out and walloped them with the Wiz flying like a bird over the pack to take that screamer.  For those not old enough to recall...

    This is the sort of stuff that can turn a club's fortunes right around and drag a stack of extra fans through the turnstiles...

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
