Melksham - current whipping boy.

No. He has been for a couple of years. And I really believe, rightly so.

Its not personal, hes just not one of our good players.

People get frustrated because he still gets gigs. Thats all.

Brayshaw looks way off the pace at the moment.  Slow and tentative.

And he looked totally [censored] off at the end of the game. A good sign.

He gets a gig because he hits targets when he has the ball

Set up at least 3 goals in the 3rd Q

Brayshaw played a different role today because we lost Viney and inexplicably they brought in a winger to replace him. 
Talk about not fixing what isn’t broken and we have 2 guys who could have replaced Viney one for one in Harmes and Sparrow. 
Unless we didn’t know Viney was a possible out, and hence couldn’t play those guys off a short break, I have no idea why you would bring Baker in to replace an inside mid. 
We gotta stop throwing Brayshaw around to fill holes and then wonder why he isn’t getting into the game. He has to settle somewhere.

Saying things like “diluting trade value” is horribly disrespectful. Why should somebody play well for the team you support if that’s all you’re going to reduce their contribution to on an off day?

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

Yes great stats but did look uncharacteristically fumbly early but that was because our midfield was applying zero pressure up field in the first half, allowing North to bring the ball with ease, straight through the centre corridor, a backman’s nightmare. But when we needed May he delivered I thought, so I gave him votes. 


Not many players had truly great days, but quite frankly, Norff didn’t let us play well. I thought they were great for 70 percent of the game. They could well towel up the Filth next week.

Brayshaw was coming off a couple of great games, playing a great role for the team. Definitely not off the pace.

Agree 'Jaded', we need to let him settle. The wing has been his spot.

Baker is not up to it and my only guess is they wanted to have one last look at him...

And was directly responsible for north goals due to taking the easy option. Zero defensive accountability or hunger. Flies for the hero mark and goes to ground way too easy for mine

Not disputing any of that

But he was a big part of us kicking goals in the 3rd Quarter 

That’s why he us in the side

I don’t disagree with you. Just think the bad outweighs the good at the moment.

It is a tough call. I see Spargo as the guy who play a similar role and plays it way better atm in my opinion

The only good thing he did.

Agreed. Baker needs to fix some areas urgently if he is to make it. Should have stuck the tackle against in goal square which resulted in a goal.  2nd q I think.

Fumbly and not really enough grunt. That last quarter effort was good but almost straight after another tackle didn't stick. Not sure he fits into what we need to be.

We need them both playing well. 
But Melksham is a finisher, that is why Goodwin plays him

He is never going to lay 10 tackles or be at the bottom of packs

He is a very good kick, that includes the long bomb 

Spargo plays a different role

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

Spot on. Agree with each and every one.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
