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.

Rivers.....wise for age.

Spargo...punches above weight.

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. 


Well done joeboy 

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.

But playing really well

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
