Oliver - Hollywood Olly returns

Viney - selfish and wasteful 

Gawn - tried but unconvincing 

Petracca - failed important moments

Salem - not as dominant 

Fritsch - took his chances

Brayshaw - regularly butchered disposals

Langdon - couldn’t hurt opponents

Jordon - was rarely sighted

Hibberd - never looked controlled 

Lever - safe without dominance

Pickett - needed more involvement 

Neal-Bullen - retention not justified 

Spargo - great first quarter

Hunt - successfully provided run

vandenBerg - a momentum killer

Brown - had little effect

Rivers - has lost impact

McDonald - was almost unsighted

May - safe and reliable 

Petty - continued to impress 

Jackson - just a game

    Ridiculously harsh on Salem & AVB.  

    Salem was a rock & AVB was a terrific game for someone who hadn't played for a very long time and had very little VFL football.  He had a big hand in 3 goal scoring chains and came back from a huge bump.

    Way too complimentary on Gawn who had his worst game in his last 50 odd.

    Jackson wasn't just a game, he was once again, very poor and just isn't giving enough.

    Need to learn to kick more goals, even if we could turn half of those points into goal would make a huge difference.

    Viney: career worst form
    Players: drinking own bathwater.
    Goodwin: can't motivate players

    Disagree on Gawn.  He tried very hard.  That chase in the third was immense.  My Hawthorn supporting mates said they win by 4 goals if Gawn wasn't playing.

    The only reason they drew was that he was getting clear hit outs and everything went to Mitchell, Worpel & O'Meara.

    Also, can't stand the smiling and lack of intensity.  The Captain sets the level of intensity and fanaticism  Never see Joel Selwood smiling!

    Generous assessment of May, he was ordinary tonight.

    I don't know who is a less convincing kick for goal, Jackson or Oliver. 

    Will cost us finals, our sh*tty kicking.

    Can we bring Bowey in for Brayshaw yet?

    I'm usually the first one to pot the umpires but not this time. The game should've been over at half time no questions asked, but we slackened off for 10 mins and lost the game. That's on our players.

    Picture this, 3/4 time, our premiership hopes are on the line in terms of a top 4 finish. We recognise that we need to start winning more contests. So what happens at the first centre bounce in the last quarter? A straight forward centre clearance and kick to Lewis who strolls in to take the mark and goals. Enough said. 

    It was a pea hearted effort by all players and coaches tonight.

    Don’t agree with many joeboy. Trac and Clarry were among our best and what was safe and reliable about May? Poor game imo

    Very selfish game by Viney... 11 tackles! He obviously is trying too hard! 32 Disposals... He should stick with 6 or 7 to warrant the criticism that the astute arm-chair critics of Demonland spit out! Only third for the team on metres gained... well that caps it off!

    You're too caught up in the stats movement. The turnovers killed us. Time and time again.

    • 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.
