Petracca - 4 quarter brilliance 

Viney - hard and important 

Oliver - seemingly different role

Brayshaw - not his best

Neal-Bullen - some vital intercepts

Gawn - fit and imposing

Brown - an important role

Jordon - better second half

Jackson - exciting in bursts

Harmes - excellent tagging game

Langdon - excellent first quarter

May - great second half

Fritsch - fifteen minute game

Sparrow - was rarely noticed 

Spargo - excellent with ball

Smith - seemingly no errors

McDonald - genius positional change

Hunt - quiet after first

Bedford - some encouraging involvement 

Bowey - continued perfect record

Tomlinson - slowish but effective 

Pickett - needed more involvement 

Salem - a huge loss

    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 didn’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. 🙂

    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 us

    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. 

    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.

    Also put his body on the line in the last Quarter, it hurt, and he didn’t flinch until the ball was moved on.

    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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
