Rubbish. @Graeme Yeats' MulletĀ has helped but a number of his summaries are just unbelievably negative after arguably this club's greatest ever win.

Viney was very goodĀ 

Antipathy to Viney. On this site. Really really stupid. Proved'emĀ wrong again. They never learn.

Three words:

[censored] off Selwood


You're dropping off, dude.

This is rubbish.

To our fitness coaches…! Well done!!! The most resilient team in the comp under what has been arguably the most difficult season in recent history…

AND Oliver.. give that man the chaz now!

Would like to see this more

OLIVER - GOD AMONGST MEN

Agree. I had Viney as our 5th best. Joeboy must be joking. Many many missed tackles v cats. Let’s not sugarcoat it … that 2nd qtr was pathetic. Ā Viney knows how to tackle and lock it in. Others were poor and enabled too many cats players to free up the footy. Ā Jack was back and deserved his place.Ā

Yup, viney played a great bulls game.Ā 
Ā 
Best on ground for pressure acts, perhaps the 2 weeks off helped him get his body right for finals. Can’t wait for Viney to rip it apart next week. Heart and Soul playerĀ

Unbelievable summary Joeboy

Ā 

Find some joy.Ā 

Bob I am sure Joeboy is as happy as the rest of us,Ā with a brilliant win, while still tinged withĀ sadness,Ā knowing we can’t attendĀ Ā finals to support the boys.

However, this is an evaluation of individual performance thread regularly done by Joeboy over the years. To do that properly you don’t just say everyone played well when then they didn’t.

You can still enjoy a win, while noting who didn’t perform. I am certain the match committee will do exactly that. Do you disagree with any evaluation? That is probably a more relevant post than a swipe at Joeboy who is posting a clearly difficult type of thread that will have many critics.

On another note, I gave them absolutely no hope at half time and I am still stunned. I am starting to believe, maybe this year. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

WithoutĀ  Jvs efforts in the first half we would have lost.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ 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 atĀ 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.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā 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.Ā

  • 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.
