Gawn - dominated when necessary 

Viney - importantly found form

Neal-Bullen -season best game

Petracca - dynamic high achiever 

Oliver - continued Brownlow form

Brayshaw - season best game 

Langdon - four consistent quarters

Fritsch - mercurial and important 

Sparrow - impressive tagging performance 

Brown - provided solid target

Salem - was rarely flustered 

Harmes - played important role

Lever - steady and safe

Spargo - not his best

Rivers - calm and composed

May - dominated his opponent 

Jackson - had a presence

Pickett - couldn’t get involved 

Petty - the quiet enforcer

Bowey - continued to impress

McDonald - another disappointing performance 

Smith - was not disgraced

 

 

McDonald -allowed others space 

 

tmac played his role, took a defender and competed. You are way off on this. 

What's going on with Tmac?  Almost replace him with Melksham at this point..

At least he kept Andrews out of the game.

He was back to slow old Tmac

Needs to give a bit more than that, but on the bright side  -  plenty of upside

Please, anyone can 'take a defender' and allow others space.   He's not a decoy, he's there to kick goals.  He was well below his best and barely got near it.  4 possessions from a roaming forward with his tank is not good.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Fritsch seems to play decoy some weeks and he is our leading goal kicker. Selfless footy is standing us in good stead.

 

Pretty spot on tonight Joeboy. Hopefully TMac picks up in the Prelim.


You know, players don't have to have high stats  to play well. I watched TMac tonight and he played an important role in clearing space, that is what makes a great team, like when Gus was getting low stats, but played the defensive wing position and the sacrifices he made were so important. I give the whole team my 3 word analysis.

 

Great team Effort

He is an absolute [censored] on the field. Pseudo tough guy. Hitting guys who don't want to retaliate and get suspended.

PS. How does the word id iot get censored?

Pickett - goal of the night 

@Basher wondering what you're laughing at?

I thought Rivers looked a bit nervous early in the first, with some uncharacteristicly rushed disposal and position, but settled well and played his role. 

Of all Joeboys 3 words it was the one I didn't agree with.

McDonald - Important to Structure

Cmon he was average at best, I’d replace him for the prelim, he’s got to do more than be a decoy.

Melksham or the Weid for mine

You want to bring Weideman back in for a prelim when he hasn't played since Queen's Birthday?

No way. It's not happening barring injury.

Melksham at least has been in the seniors at some point in the last 3 months.

There are a lot of punchable heads in the AFL. But this guy is not only a complete nuffy he’s also a bloody average footballer. At least Toby Greene is a gun.

You're very agressive tonight Jaded! Relax and stay positive.

I’m very relaxed in the knowledge that Brisbane tried being tough guys but got taught a lesson. Yet again.

Brayshaw - season best game

Yep, and not unexpected either

Big occasion player as he possesses an important quality - Class.  In his element tonight

His deft touches, knock ons & release possessions were immense.  High IQ player.  His wing was often the attacking aspect tonight 

I had him as one of our best players tonight along with Max, ANB, Clarry,  Viney,  Petracca & Salem

Gawn was B.O.G ... the man is an absolute warrior.  What a player & leader!!

Anyone who thinks Brayshaw is a poor player has no idea. This is by far his best season ever. 3rd in the Brownlow can get stuffed. Give me 15 years of this from any player and I'll be rapt.

What we now know about Brayshaw is that he is the ultimate team player

He's a natural onballer/link player/released player who is needed to shore up a wing in a defensive role.  And he does it without any fanfare

But tonight was different ... suddenly his wing became an avenue of attack and Gus was front and centre.  Kudos

We had many good players tonight but a few who have previously copped flak shone through ... notably ANB,  Viney & Gus.   Rivers was back to his better form as well.  Looked assured all night

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
