Gawn - probably broke even

Petracca - was rarely clean

Oliver - disposals were iffy

Rivers - good and evil

Petty - not a forward!

van Rooyen - tried but failed

Fritsch - career worst game

Bowie - loose but improved 

Turner - was rarely convincing 

McVee - needs a break

May - was generally effective 

Lever - often found out

Grundy - had little influence 

Langdon - couldn’t get involved

Pickett - some occasional cameos

Sparrow - some important touches

Viney - four quarter endeavour

Chandler - was well held

Harmes - had some impact

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction 

Jordon - another bland game

Hunter - some costly options 

Neil-Bullen - couldn’t get involved

    Gawn - There when needed

    Petracca - Some important touches

    Oliver - Tough but tagged

    Rivers - Our best driver

    Petty - Better down back

    van Rooyen - Great aerial presence 

    Fritsch - Record is over

    Bowie - Provided good run

    Turner - Not quite ready

    McVee - Clean and reliable

    May - Improved with time

    Lever - Some late relevance

    Grundy - No real impact

    Langdon - Can't get involved

    Pickett - Hits when needed

    Sparrow - Career best game

    Viney - Lifted in last

    Chandler - Smooth but ineffective

    Harmes - Brought great energy

    Brayshaw - Classic Brayshaw's Back

    Jordon - He's just "there"

    Hunter - In slow motion

    Yeah I thought McVee had one of his better games.

    Generally not a fan of Brayshaw and his NQR moments but he has lifted in the last 2 weeks and been important.

    May floundered again.

    so we only had about 5 good players, yet still won? It was a hard fierce game from both teams and fortunately we came out on top.

    JJ - every possession effective

    AFL stats says on for 65% of game with 17 possies at 88% efficiency.

    I still say he was 100% effective.

    Also now the 'most winningest' current player with >50 games, so he can't be all bad!

    joeboy your 3 word player analysis is most anticipated up here in the far flung regions of the realm. A little like the old Sporting Globe at the local newsagents when you got home from the 'G on Saturday evening. Especially after a closely fought win.

    May we urge you to continue the good work! So pleased you stuck a few little gems in to heighten interest and awareness.

    Rivers - good and evil

    Had to work very hard after that smothered kick resulted in a late Suns goal.

    Brayshaw - spirit and conviction

    Doesn't get better than that, a truly on the road to Damascus moment.

    Would love to add this one...

    Gawn - At Witts end

    Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.

    Fair point. I think we had about  7 good players and 5 average performances by another 5. Gcs are a good side.  They way outmarked us and we looked exposed down back quite often. I really wish Petty could return there. I think our tackling pressure was very good and forced Gcs to make some poor choices at times. Its hard to say if we played poor or they played well. I hope its a little from each column. Both our back and fwd lines have been a work in progress this year and last night reflected this. I know I looked at Gcs form and expected a 7 goal win. I mean that's what a flag contender should do to a nascent club like gcs. But the competition is much tighter this season and we are a team that is still experimenting with their structure. I also think the fact that we have been to SA, WA and Qld twice out of our 8 games takes somewhat of a toll on the players.

    Their Midfield in Rowell, Anderson & Swallow are definitely not the weakest in the AFL. Anderson is an absolute gun (A potential Tracc) , Rowell is another Viney . And Wiks is a genuinely good ruckman (and team man) !!!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
