Gawn - uncharacteristically quiet game 

Hibberd - finally got going

May - not his best

Tomlinson - a sad story

Lever - great second half

Salem - cool under pressure 

Rivers - loose but energetic 

Baker - little to commend 

Langdon - kept on giving

Petracca - no votes today

Oliver - better second half

Fritsch - our most important 

McDonald - important in defence

Spargo - great with ball

Pickett - genius at work

Brown - a limited debut

Jackson - enjoyed more responsibility 

Jones - composed when required 

Hunt - was rarely sighted 

Neal-Bullen - had little involvement 

Jordon - calm and tough

Melksham - selfish and limited

 

Very harsh on Baker, I thought his effort in the second half was commendable, especially in neutralising that 2 on 1 contest out on the wing. Needs to improve his disposal though.

He was everything wrong with Melbourne in the first half. Couldn't hit a kick, tried to do something and turned it over. Didn't feel like he had an opponent.

Sets a pretty high standard does Steven! 25 touches, 14 marks, 550 metres gained!

The only good thing he did.

 

Gawn - Dominated by Goldstein

Hibberd - Costly errors today

May - Not his best

Tomlinson - Gutted for him 

Lever - Lifted 2nd half

Salem - Same as above 

Rivers - Our best defender 

Baker - Wasn't ready today

Langdon - Our best midfielder

Petracca - Lacked leadership today

Oliver - Good final quarter

Fritsch - Best on ground 

McDonald - Big call coming

Spargo - Quietly good today

Pickett - Clean when needed

Brown - Okay not good

Jackson - Rising star award? 

Jones - Slow but composed

Hunt - Good 2nd half

Neal-Bullen - Frustrating final quarter

Jordon - 2nd best midfielder

Melksham - 1 good quarter

AnB probably has a pretty big vault of bad games, but that was one of his worst in a long time.

probably the only unforced changed for one of chandler/bedford

baker was serviceable, actually competed and got to the right spots but cannot hit a chest with his kicks they just float and loop didnt give the target an advantage after theyd done the hard work getting front spot on their man

Salem, May and Lever for a start. All three feature in the votes of most Demonlanders,

Really shoudn't considering Salem was invisible until 2nd half, May was beaten in the air by a kid consistenly and Lever was fumbly until we took control.

Rivers* locked down Stephenson really well.

Unbelievably negative comments per se. 

Came off an incredible win against the Tigers, played on a ground some have never seen. 

A hard fought win, great second half, top of the ladder, yet so much negativity. 

Really don’t know how supporters can be so critical. 

Feel happy and positive , please.

Yeah. Spot on. Pathetic whining. Also disrespecting North, who were beaten by the same margin by Geelong 2 weeks ago - at Geelong.

I'd feel a lot better if Tomlinson and Viney weren't injured...

Not to mention how often since 1964 Melbourne dropped these games, not to mention how we have hardly won in Hobart.

In the meantime, in the Twos are two beauties with enormous potential - Chandler and Bedford - and Uncle Nev is playing great football.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
