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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    @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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
