Neither Rivers nor Hibberd are tall defenders. 
Petty struggled but he was still our best tall defender even on one leg. I shudder to think how many more goals we would have conceded without him. 

Tonight yes

But include May, and the options open up

Tommo becomes 3rd tall... and we look totally different

Sure but May wasn’t an option tonight. So we had to push on and Petty fought on manfully. 
I think Tomlinson is a poor defender but agree that Petty needs a week off to recover properly from his 240 injuries.

Adjudication

 Helter skelter.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Tom Papley;  shameless self promoting skite on steroids. Save it for the bathroom mirror son. Get a real job as a sideshow spruiker. Honestly.

Broadcast;

Channel 7 have an unsavory fetish for frequent throws to John Longmire in the coaches box. It’s supposedly a sport broadcast. Absurd.

Best they could do of Simon was an out of focus boundary shot. Reflected the team performance.

Overall Performance;

Like Icarus we Demons have flown to close to the Sun. Only to find our wings clipped and the team fabric unwaxed. Need to pull out of this dive quickly or the plummet could be painful.

Special mentions to Harry Petty for battling on on one leg, and to Kozzie for some incredible solo pressure efforts that lead directly to a couple of our  early gaols.

And a Purple Heart medal for Petty.

I'm astounded at the love for Fritsch. Three goals is nice, but that's just a cameo. He needs to be exerting pressure when he hasn't got the ball and just isn't doing enough.

6 Gawn, has a Ruckman ever had more contested possessions, played his heart out. 

5 Viney, brilliant game.

4 Brayshaw, reliable has not lost an ounce of courage.

3 Oliver, did a power of work in defense. 

2 Jordon,  smooth moves, looked assured.

1 ANB, one clanger but a lot of good work too, improved out of sight on his couple of down games.

 

Petty - Brave heart award

To kick three and should have been four when he was double and tripled teamed all day was a great performance.

I would dispute your opinion that Brayshaw was Melb's second best. Defensively he was very poor.

I agree ANB was better but I’m still not happy with ANB and Spargo.  They contribute barely enough and very very low direct scoreboard impact.

The bottom 3 could be in any order I couldn’t split them. 

Not potting you, just genuinely curious, what didn't you rate about Viney, happy to hear another POV?

Lack of execution. Viney needs to start lowering his eyes and hitting targets again, otherwise he is a liability. Gets it a lot and doesn’t utilize it as well as he should/can. I get he is hard at it, and I admire his will to win the footy, but unless he’s hitting targets, then I cannot have him in my votes. Jack once adapted his game, many years ago. Harnessed his aggression and when he did - he started lowering his eyes more. He is actually really good user of the footy (if poised), also has a pretty snappy side step. He needs to get back to that player. He is one of my favorites so if I could’ve fit him in the votes I would’ve. He’s certainly having a ripping year.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
