Several poster not having Petracca in their top 6 is staggering to me. He was immense and critical to our win. His intensity around the ball. 7 clearances, 6 tackles. Fantastic goal off one step. 

 

6 Oliver

5 Harmes

4 Jackson

3 Petracca

2 Gawn

1 Neal-Bullen

Would be interesting to see coaches votes this week. Oliver could just about sew up the coaches award 🤞

I came here to say this.

Also interesting to see whether the coaches rate the games of the big names (Oliver, Petracca) ahead of the ANB's and Jackson's.

Since coaches aren't as dumb or bias as umpires, I assume they will give Jackson votes and also ANB. Goody certainly will.

I wonder if Bont gets votes this week. He was very ordinary except when it came to winning golden frees.

Fantastic to see some of our lesser lights featuring strongly in the votes.  We are building beautifully, I reckon.

6 ANB

Love these votes from Michael Lynch in The Age.  Great to see a couple of unsung heroes recognized for their performance.

VOTES
Ben Brown (Melbourne) 8
Tim Kelly (West Coast) 7
James Harmes (Melbourne) 7
Alex Neal-Bullen (Melbourne) 7
Jake Bowey (Melbourne) 6

I expect ANB and Jackson to get votes, it more about the order of votes I'm interested in.

Until the lightning break I would maybe have had my best 6 on ground as Petracca, Oliver, ANB, Jackson, Yeo and Cripps (in no particular order but with an emphasis on the MFC players). The surge after the break could shake things up a bit: we defended well (does Bowey/May come into it) do the Eagles go higher?

Brown was very good in those conditions and perhaps I've underrated him too. 7 marks, 6 score involvements including 3 goals and an assist, in those weather conditions was outstanding.

6 Nibbler

5 Clarry Choo Choo

4 Harmes

3 Jackson

2 Trac

1 Bowey

Apologies Petty, Max, Lever, May Brown

 

"1 vote...Melbourne.....S..........May"

"2 votes...Melbourne.....B..........Brown"

"3 votes...Melbourne.....C..........Petracca"

"4 votes...Melbourne.....C..........Oliver"

"5 votes...Melbourne.....A..........Neal-Bullen"

"6 votes...Melbourne.....L..........Jackson"

"The AFL apologises to, reading from the backline, J. Bowey, H. Petty, J. Rivers, C.Salem, M. Gawn, J. Harmes, J. Melksham and K. Pickett"

(Apologies to the tally room, too, if this cleverd***edness makes the count harder😬)

  • 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.
