6  Oliver - prevented us from being overwhelmed

5  May - undaunted in a rough night for our defenders

4  Petracca - far from a complete game but was the driver when we actually got going

3  Fritsch - crucial to the forward movements

2  Rivers - showed sustained energy and initiative when few did

1  Hunter - just to annoy the haters, who make no sense (also, there's not a lot to choose from)

6 - May (4qutr game)

5 - Rivers

4 - Tracc ( great 2nd half)

3 - Clayton ( better once he got angry)

2 - Fritta ( if he snuck that in we could have stolen that game)

1 - Hunter kept going all night

That was a terrible game tonight we fumbled, bumbled, mis tackled and failed to man up and still only went down by four points, should have been 4 goals.

It's not that simple unfortunately. One or two mids can have good game and the whole midfield thrashed. Oliver, Viney and Petracca at least got us back in the third quarter. Supporting your argument May and Fritta were the only ones to really win their positions.

Melb's problem is the depth of it's midfield compared to the good sides. Butters, Drew, Rozee, Boak, Horne Francis, Wines, etc are better than us. Collingwood has even better depth.

May and Fritsch were the only ones to win their positions. That part is correct, as is the depth of Port compared to us in the middle of the ground. Petracca played a quarter, Oliver was just average most of the night.  They got belted by the Port mids.  They were both better than Viney and Brayshaw but worse than Butters, Rozee, JHF and Drew.  As I said elsewhere, the fact we got three goals in front and only lost by less than a kick was pretty miraculous given that we won two positions on the night. I'm quite optimistic about what might happen this season because I doubt we will be beaten that comprehensively across the ground again this year.

Brisbane, Essendon game? Why do we keep lying to ourselves?

Ridiculous.

Hibbo did his job. Didn’t give away any frees. Battled and pressured. Sure handling.  It’s not all about 25+ possessions with turnovers and stupid little handballs.  Alongside Rivers and May, he was our best defender.  Maybe 4 was ambitious but if didn’t want to elevate our Mids who disappointed on the night.

6 Hunter 

5 May 

4 Fritsch

3 Salem

2 Rivers

1 Hibberd

Honourable mentions;

None far too many had leather aversion. 

Adjudication;

Some free kicks in the forward line would help but the ball needs to get and be there.

From the Directors Chair;

Who are you? Fuchsias, Demons … ? Nice to be good community citizens but winning games of football is core business if you want to be at the big end of town.

Broadcast;

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    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.

    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
