Joeboy - on the ball

 

Your three words for McVee were very well crafted.

joeboy as a body of work your 3 word player analysis at the core is pretty spot on. But the path to transcendence is not always whole or smooth. Just the ocassional ragged edge to tuck in.

Neil-Bullen -just a game ?

or

Neil-Bullen - significant team contributor

( 6 tackles, equal team highest), (17 disposals at 76.5% efficiency), (including one goal scored).

Tarax Club.   Agree re ANB - underrated as usual

Rating the top 3-6 players is an art... rating all 23 is a skill

Respect to Joeboy for attempting it

One of my must reads.. post game

 

Oliver wastefull??

OLIVER ..MASTERFUL BALL USE!

Oliver has set ridiculously high expectations. I thought his disposal was very good for the most part and I've noticed that he's been taking a lot intercept marks lately. 

While Petracca and Viney were both excellent, I thought they were just as 'wasteful' as Oliver.

Yep thought Nibbler was very good.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
