    Very good analysis but you were hard on Brayshaw. His defensive efforts were brilliant and I thought his disposal was effective for the most part.

    To say Gus Brayshaw didnā€™t play that well is unbelievable, you have no idea

    Not to be a scold, but I think that joke played itself out a long time ago (and I was one of the original urine takers who gave joeboy stick over it).
    It has been 4 years since Tyson left after all and joeboy is pretty generous in taking the time to come up with these analyses every week. šŸ™‚

    Why not frame Joel Smith's game in a positive light. Seemingly waiting for the bloke to fail is pretty poor.

    Agree Joel did really well last night I've said this before but those who don't rate him need to remember he has struggled to stay on the park consistently and build his confidence and understanding of the game at the top level

    If he stays fit he has a good chance to continue his improvement and become a very valuable player for usĀ

    Bowey - fantastic 9 touches

    We're used to small forwards having low disposals and playing well, see Pickett in the grand final, or even last night.

    But I don't think many half back flankers play as well as Bowey did with just 9 touches last night. I thought his defensive positioning and contests were really strong.Ā 

    Along with Hunt, Smith, Tomlinson I thought he allowed McDonald and particularly Brayshaw to get in intercepting positions to provide what we usually get from Lever.

    I was shocked to see he had only 9 touches.

    Sparrow - couldnt find ball (hope he hasnt relaxed with re - signing)

    Also put his body on the line in the last Quarter, it hurt, and he didnā€™t flinch until the ball was moved on.Ā

    Seemed to be playing half-forward for much of the night. Whether that was to change their on-ball mix (a polite way of saying whether he'd been demoted from that role following the pasting they received in the GF) or he had a particular role, such as tagging one of our defenders, I couldn't tell.

    Oliver had what 7 or 8 free kicks paid against him for iffy infringements and yet when he was infringed against...... Play on. CLUB might need to make representations to AFL if this continues

    Umps just want to make sure Oliver earns his Brownlow the hard way.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win ā€” something they havenā€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyā€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearā€™s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ļ»æA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.Ā  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the ā€œFuchsias.ā€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
