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

6. Nibbler (produced one of his best game in his 100th)

5. Clarry

4. Dogga

3. Trac

2. Petty

1. Bowey (he’ll be our half back general for the next 10 years)

Harmes, Melks, Brown and Max unlucky

 

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

5 Jackson

3 Harmes

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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
