Gawn - willed to win

Viney - great first half

Salem - almost a liability 

Rivers - not always reliable 

Lever - held his opponent 

Petty - outstanding most game

Sparrow - was not sighted

May - strength and application 

Jordon - not moving freely 

Oliver - class and input 

Langdon - limited since injury

Brayshaw - prolific and courageous 

Fritsch - career worst game 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted 

Spargo- another uninvolved performance 

Brown - saved by goal

Pickett - hero but limited

Petracca - not as dynamic 

Jackson - just a game

Hibberd - loose but important 

Melksham - only winning forward 

Hunt - great last quarter

    Which Salem were you watching?

    And the only thing Lever held with a blade of grass. He was shocking.

    We’ve looked a worse team this year since Salem has been back.

    I think the praise for Melk could be higher. It wasn’t just the 4 he kicked. He started to look like the player in 2018 who was so crucial in setting up our forward fifty forays.

    Wow - I watched another game as well -

    Salem - Fritsch both played well - the balance were competitive including Brown Spargo Langdon and most others you bagged - Watch the replay ! Slowly !,

    He also gave Kozzie the ball for the winning kick. He actually could have had 7. Missed 2 and was robbed of a mark late in the game 30 out.

    Fritsch played well.!! . No. No. No 
    4 disposals. 1 goal 1 kick (both from the down the field free kick on 1/2time). 3 handballs (I think two to Carlton players) 8 tackles but that’s because he was always second or behind or trying to chase. 

    I love Fritta and he always will be a star. But he was off tonight.

    Only Salem questionable, otherwise good job Joeboy.

    Disagree. Jackson 'just a game'?  A terrific game. Brayshaw...disposal is atrocious .

    Hunt- Instinct is best 

    His dare to break the lines was crucial late.

    I’d prefer eight goals and one tackle.

    Forwards are there to kick goals (something we struggle to do now) so the obsession with forward tackles for a player like Fritsch is weird to me.

    Our forward line has been hugely critiqued for a lack of forward pressure.

    Indeed, Fritta was off and didn't kick his usual handful of goals. Instead he knuckled down and applied plenty of pressure. Would love for him to kick a bag every week but he has shown improvements to his game when he can't manage to get involved on the scoreboard.

    Fritsch is an impact player like in the gf. when he gets on a run hard to stop but can go missing for the odd quarter

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
