Gawn - dominated when required 

Oliver - top Brownlow votes

Petracca - good not great

Brayshaw - a liability early

Sparrow - assumed Viney’s role

Fritsch - quiet but classy

Jackson - successfully performed role

McDonald - our best forward 

Lever - back to impenetrable 

Dunstan - excellent first half

May - showed who’s boss

Jordon - a reliable connector 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Pickett - did just enough 

Spargo - ultimate team man

Bedford - speed was impressive 

Bowey - uncharacteristically quiet game

Rivers - tough and reliable 

Melksham - had little involvement 

Petty - very quiet game

Brown - couldn’t assert himself 

Langdon - please return quickly

Hunt - was rarely required

Generous assessment of Gawn, today was not his best. 
 

McKay had the strength to negate Brown’s height advantage.

McKay wasn't playing...

Ooops, Who the big oaf on Brown? I didn’t have a record to check & know none of the North players.

I thought Brown and Gawn had their poorest game for the season. Dunstan was a butcher in the first half can't see that he was excellent in the first half.

Brayshaw better second half

Dunstan  connected better later

Gawn eventually clunked some

Melksham strictly cameo goal

Brown - was very poor

74 inside fifties and kicked 2 behinds

Plays from behind far too often for mine.  Needs to work harder (Earlier!!) to get front position and keep it.

Plugga Mac, while no super star forward, works his [censored] off in this regard and sometimes gets rewarded for it.  A few examples of this during the game tonight.

Agree he should have kicked somewhere between two to four goals (minimum) tonight given the amount of entries.

Lever was Best on Ground for mine. Went quiet when the game was done but otherwise he killed every contest he couldn’t mark.

Did you notice a player in number 13 for us?

He was so far BOG, that he may have got all 6 votes from the umpires and I for one would say that wasn’t even enough.

I have never seen anyone do some of the things he does.

We had Robbie the most skilled player I have ever seen.

We now have Clarrie, the best contested possession player I have ever seen, who I am simply in awe of and am so grateful he is one of ours.

Thank you Jason Taylor.

Brayshaw - had a stinker

All three had worst games for 2022 so glad that's behind them.

Yeah, nah.  Brayshaw started terribly but worked his way into the game.  Gawn was asked to play a different role - He and Jackson had a near 50/50 split of centre square attendance.  We actually won clearance well and Gawn was two straight kicks of having a great game (1.2 v 3.0).  Brown didn't play well but it'd be the first time in a while.

Of course I saw Clarrie, Petty was down, May was quiet, lever killed contest after contest.

Ive said here that I think Clarrie will more than likely be our best ever player by careers end. But Lever to me was impassable, when north surged, there was Lever.

And I don’t care what the umps do with their midfield award, I value more than possessions (that’s a dig at umps, not Clarrie)

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
