Petracca - dynamic and prolific 

Oliver - outstanding first half

Gawn - tried when required 

Harmes - prolific but wasteful 

Jackson - impressive first half

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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
