Gawn - superlatives are insufficient 

Brayshaw - team before self

Fritsch - was probably hampered

Hibberd - licence to attack

Hunt - continued backing himself 

Jackson - our impressive wonderchild

Jones - was just going

Jordon - important in close

Langdon - all Australian form

Lever - playing impressive rebounder

May - our miracle man

McDonald - creating selection dilemmas

Melksham - was rarely sighted

Neal-Bullen - rough but ready

Oliver - prolific and impressive 

Petracca - sublime ball handling

Pickett - rarely got going

Rivers - boundless youthful energy

Salem - Outstanding all game

Spargo - impressive aggressive efforts

Tomlinson - reliability a feature

Viney - great tagging game

    Shock horror but this is the first Joeboy three word assessment I agree with!

    Then again I don't know if Hibbetd had a license to attack!

    Gus started poorly.

    Finished on top.

    Hibberd....back to best.

    Melksham....not top 22.

    May....showed Anzac spirit.

    Salem.....super super skilled.

    Trac...  move over Marrin.

    Gawn...still number one.

    Jackson.....now number two.

    Anb....most improved player.

    Kozzie....will win games.

    Langdon....just so reliable.

    Hunt......turbo still firing.

    Lever....Mr rock solid.

    Oliver....our duracell bunny.

    Viney....there when needed.

    Jones...a true servant.

    Tmac.....better than ever.

    Christian Salem - The Perfect Game.

    Watched the game with a bunch of Tigers supporters who didn't know anything about him.  They sure do now.  As good of a game as I've seen anyone play in a Melbourne jumper.

    Even though he is not kicking many goals Pickett is still a major contributor and second only to Petracca in score involvements.

    Very important linkman

    I was at the ground and then subsequently watched the replay. What I noticed at the ground but what isn't noticeable on TV was the hard work Brayshaw did running back to help the defenders. Each time the ball was on the other wing, Brayshaw was on his man. The moment it looked like Richmond was going to go forward, Brayshaw had to make a judgement call as to when to leave his man and run hard back into defence. I assume doing so helps free Lever up to play the intercept role. Brayshaw did it excellently all night. It's this sort of team-focused play that makes it really hard when watching a game on TV to know who is playing well and who isn't. It's also a lot of exhausting work, unrewarded by statistics and Supercoach points.

    That's a tad harsh.

    Won some crucial contests, went back with the flight. He isn't a 25 possession player now.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
