Rivers - solid and smart

Neal- Bullen - better second half

May - gotta love him

Petracca - not as dominantĀ 

Harmes - some useful involvementĀ 

Dunstan - important tagging success

Petty - tight and reliableĀ 

Jordan - a quiet achiever

Fritsch - ten minute game

Spargo - possessions were importantĀ 

Hunt - a steady presenceĀ 

Jackson - just a game

Brown - needed the run

Weideman - lucky number three

Pickett - did just enough

Smith - courageous but iffy

A few errant handballs cost goals, Ā #44 wasn’t home alone there. Numero uno coughed up one too. The Goodwin mantra of not dwelling on mistakes applies. Reset and push go.

 

I hate to be a negative Nelly but it's hard to give positive overall reviews without mention the poor kicking for goal, especially the ones from Spargo, ANB, Pickett, Gawn, Harmes and Langdon.Ā

Gee wiz... !! You reckon ?Ā  ( agree mate by the way )

Ā 

Gawn - effective

Oliver - GOAT

Langdon - continued his dominance

Sparrow - amazing. Just amazing

Bowey - no surprise, experienced 200 gamer

Brayshaw - one of his best games this year,

proper player.

Rivers - on the up.

Neal Bullen - Sh*t when mattered. Really really poor game.

May - no words really, heading into his own category as a back man. Heading into GOAT territory.

Petracca - Shocking effort.Ā 

Harmes -typical Harmes. Loves the heat and fades out once the jobs done. Pressure and checks out once games over. BarometerĀ 

Dunstan - Got better. I’d persist with him because he failed to handle the pressure that comes with being a Dee, but adapted, pretty rare to see that within the space of 2 quarters. This guy will improve us. But needs to be better than tonight. Needs to be shown tapes of Toby Bedford and bring that to every contest.

Petty - Most promising back in league. Underrated. Good early when mattered.

Jordan - OK.Ā 

Fritsch - always good.Ā 
Ā 

Spargo - Good.

Hunt - below average when it mattered.

Jackson - See Petracca

Brown - see Jackson

Weideman - perfect. Love the intent. Stats smatts. Great game. Keep doing what you’re doing. So confident in this kid. My type of guy.

Pickett - see above. Cannot speak any higher. Really had a crack early when blokes were 100 at contests.Ā 
Ā 

Smith - needs to clean up things a bit but obvious an improving player. See why Gawn likes him, Smith clunks marks under pressure and drops them when not, I can live with that.Ā

All good if no-one reads this, I'm doing it for myself :)
Ā 

Gawn: holding his marks
Spargo: Busy! Costly miss.
Pickett: Another costly miss
Bowey: Smart, Clean, Powerful (for his size :P)
Langdon: Prolific like usual.
Weideman: A quiet 3
Sparrow: Showed unappreciated speed
Oliver: 3 Brownlow votes
Petty: Becoming AA worthy
Joel Smith: WTF was that?
Luke Jackson: Quiet game forgiven
J.Jordon: Vanilla 19 touches
ANB: 2 costly misses (1 inexcusable)
S.May: Fantastic without leverĀ 
A.Brayshaw: Doing his thang!
Dunstan: kept it simple
Harmes: An annoying miss (on the full)
Fritsch: 2 needed goals
Rivers: Finding his groove
J.Hunt: Kept Shai quiet.
Ben Brown: Was impressively unimpressive. (will get better though).
Petracca: important when needed (needs to sharpen up his kicking for goal though)

"War and Peace" version.

Worst one since Lynden Dunn. Get some milk on his upper lip and the cat could lick it off.

Rivers is a fair way off AA at this stage. Bowey and Petty are much closer.

Petty, Bowey, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, Pickett and Jackson are all young players who have shown that they are close to best 22 in a premiership team. Too early for AA but they all show potential.

And to think that they have many years to learn from playing with Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Lever, Brayshaw, Langdon Spargo, ANB, Hunt and Harmes, experienced premiership players, who all still have many years to go. Add in Weideman and Smith who might still make it to the top.

I cannot recall any other recent team that had so much potential to develop further. But let's keep it to one game at a time.

Ā 

Can someone tell me why people boo Weideman? I know they're not booing, instead saying 'Weeeed' or something like that? is that right? I just don't really understand it. 'Weeed' sounds nothing like a 'boo'..? I'm confused lol.Ā 
Also the fact that a guy that spends more time with Casey, it's a strange thing that I've never really understood and warmed to. I feel like it's a little cringe. :) Have I missed something?Ā

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
