Gawn - best on ground

Langdon - reliable and untiring

Viney - important contact player

Lever - was mostly effective 

Hunt - career best game

Brayshaw- regularly went missing

Rivers - reliable and composed

Jackson - continued upward spiral

Neal- Bullen - limited but useful

May - uncomfortable against midgets

Fritsch - some limited cameos

Spargo - effective in patches

McDonald - disappointing and limited

Jones - just did enough

Sparrow - was hardly noticed

I'm not sure size is the mitigating factor here.

I hate to say it, but Toby Greene is a superstar.

There's no match up for him when the ball hits the ground.

Yep. He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player.

We are in a good place and everyone chipped in when it was their turn, GWS got away with a lot of holding and crude tackles which caused them more pain than us.!!!

why rest forward. He can't kick straight for goal.

Gus mitigated a lot of the spread and pace GWS generated early. Could have gotten ugly if not for him, Langdon, Salem and Hunt early. They zoned well and stopped what was at the start a very quick moving Giants.

Interesting Joeboy.  I think your a bit harsh on some, we did win easily from quarter time. But  always good to see another’s views.

we were not perfect but I thought our back 6 worked it out really well. They will only get better with more games together. Tomlinson is far more composed than Omac or Frost ever was. Is frosty still playing for the hawks or is he injured ?

Rivers had 16 disposals at 100% efficiency, 2 contested marks and 3 score involvements playing at half back and last week he had 20 disposals at 90% efficiency, 4 score involvements and another contested mark. Not sure his IQ is much of a problem at this stage, he seems to make really good decisions with the ball in hand.

Oliver: An immature performance.

Pickett: Proving me wrong.

Mcdonald: Lost at sea.

Spargo: Good despite miss.

Rivers: lacks defensive iq 
* a bit harsh but a lot of his mistakes are costly.

Plays with a maturity beyond his years.

I agree here and im a big fan, but he has to clean up some off his kicking 

" some of" ." Most of" more likely

If if wasn't for Hunt stinking up his run with his kicking we'd setting loose the hounds onto Brayshaw. 

Only Cam Bruce could  kick more up and unders   but he' d perfected the helicopter

Dr D, I reckon the ability to go forward and kick goals is the next part for Oliver to develop in his game, especially as he will continue to cop close attention from the opposition. It's probably the one thing that will take home from being an elite player to a superstar.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons head back on the road for their fifth interstate trip this season when they head up to Brisbane to take on the Lions under lights on Friday night at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
