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.

Neal - Bullen - important for us

Harsh on a couple here.

Brayshaw was our only winning mid early. Fritsch kicked 3 up against an AA defender

 

 

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.

 


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.!!!

Gawn - best on ground

Langdon - all australian year

Petracca - knows he's good 

Viney - best clearance player

Lever - good in close

Hunt - our second winger

Brayshaw- steady good performance

Salem - good once again

Oliver - should rest forward

Jordon - works very hard

Pickett - Davey, Farmer, Pickett

Tomlinson - career best season?

Rivers - love his game

Jackson - won his battle

Neal- Bullen - did his job

May - lost to Greene

Fritsch - our best target

Spargo - pressured opposition well

McDonald - tried, no reward.

Jones - was steady today

Sparrow - covered the ground

Jetta - unlucky few times

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 ?

Brayshaw's best game this season by far.

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

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.

Plays with a maturity beyond his years.

Are you talking about Clarry?

Small sample will be ok next time let him learn on the job.!

" 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.

  • 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?
