Neal-Bullen - grunt was important 

Brown - rewarded for effort

McDonald - quietish before injury

Brayshaw - impressive gut running 

Pickett - some cameos only

Fritsch - had limited involvement 

Hunt - run was important 

Rivers - was rarely required 

Sparrow - tough but limited

Viney - great tagging role

Lever - was impassable again

May - destroyed his opponent 

Salem - efficient but quiet

Spargo - had limited involvement 

Langdon - another quiet game

Bowey - a promising debut

    Pretty good summary. Appreciate your recognition of Brayshaw. Was a big part of our early dominance.

    I love Salo, been a fan for a long time, but I wouldn't call 7 turnovers and 3 clangers from 17 touches "efficient".

    Agree 100% I hate his little dinky kicks and handballs. He needs to deliver long 50 yard kicks to someone in a good position. He has the kick in him to deliver longer. Just wish he would.

    I don't rate the assessment of Spargs, who I thought was at his excellent best.

    Far too generous on Viney. He was horrendous. 5 free kicks against! I repeat 5! Many of them holding the ball.  

    Must be close to getting dropped now. He plays dumb football.

    Viney - Thinks he's Judd

    Harmes - Thinks he's Dusty

    ...bit harsh as they had their positives but this is what I was thinking when watching them overdo it.

    An otherwise pleasurable game to watch apart from these brain fades and a period I think at the end of the 2nd (maybe 3rd) where we went into luxury (s...a...) mode.

    I was born in 1980 my first words as a baby were mum, dad and Robbie Flower.

    Let's see how the finals play out this year.

    I am hoping Oliver goes to legend status at Melbourne

    If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and  coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!!

    Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

    If we make the GF I'd be recommending to every single Demonland poster and reader to back Oliver for the Norm Smith.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
