For a bloke that put his mate into next week, Rohan definitely played a good game. 

 

So  I think this works 

is there another way ?

Rohan   5 and 5

Stewart 4 and 2 

Tracca.  4 and 1

Close.          3 and 2

Viney           3

Lever         1


Sad to see Oliver so far down the list.

It's a strawman. Unless you think Butters polled his 70+ votes against us...

No its not... not ar all. Not conversant with the goings of the Port Game ?

A certain adversarial player was opening us up. So much so even our brains ( sic) trust gave consideration to him.  Then decided to leave him alone. That is nor my summary..that's on record ( somewhere)

The man who allowed Butters free reign... Simon Goodwin.

In life you can only control ( affect ) the things you can. Here he [censored]'d up.

He clearly didnt give due respect to the player. Others have .

You might disagree... your prerogative.

And the vast majority of touches were to 3/4 time... when we were ahead.

Our players didn't get the job done in the last.

FWIW, I would have played Viney on him, but it wouldn't have mattered at all, if JVR hadn't havegiven thstfree kick away or Chandler kicks his goal or Fritta kicks his.

Zak got 5 votes from both coaches.

Man of the match.

We need to make better decisions.

Viney to him might have worked but Jacks efforts are more valuable..imho.. possibly what the box thought.. who knows.

Id have sent some Terrier with a tank.to just wear him as best as can.... just niggle him..  even Spargo could do that.

Anyway...my point was we cant rely on our game alone. All well and good to back in.our blokes....need to lift eyes and accommodate theirs too ...at times..  jmo.

Imagine letting Rohan score a perfect 10 against you. 

I dunno…..I had him pretty high up in my votes at quarter time. 👀

Viney himself was tagged that night as referenced in Ollie Wine's post match interview

Who'd da thunk such things.....

The opposition apparently.. 

I wasn't at the game - not many visiting supporters ever do down there 🤮 even if they want to - and relying on TV to get a broad view of the game is impossible as they love to zoom in or more recently show the players legs at ground level.

Was anyone "on" Rowan??  He seemed to have free rein from what I saw.

Exactly. I'd have tried to throw the tag by shifting him across to Butters, but we should have won regardless and didn't get the job done.

Maybe , just maybe he's suggesting Goody shouldn't let him get 42 touches next time.....

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
