Gawn - far from effective

Grundy - had little impact

Salem - class was evident 

McVee - was rarely sighted

May - perfect defender’s game

Lever - safe and steady 

Petty - not always convincing 

Rivers - fumbled but effective 

Brown - had a presence 

Brayshaw- better second half

Pickett - was invisible again

Melksham - experience was important 

Petracca - was the difference 

Sparrow - tough and brave

Viney - great first half

Jordon - an important ingredient 

Woewodin - some good signs

Bowey - always under control 

Neal-Bullen - quiet after first

Spargo - didn’t justify selection 

Hunter - consistent and important 

Langdon - great first half

MFC - Gawn or Grundy? 

I don't see any way we can keep both in the same side. We've really shot ourselves in the foot with the recruitment of Grundy.

Grawndy did okay-ish (Grundy alarming ineffective with the ball, though)

...but... when Marshall has them covered in total for marks, tackles, and inside-50s and is barely shaded for clearances in a two rucks vs one game, there's a serious issue.

Pickett was invisible like the hole left by a cartoon character running through a wall - yeah, you can't actually 'see' it, but you notice it very clearly.

In agreement on the above 7

And if all 7 played to their best, we win by 10+ goals

To win the flag we can't have too many players not at their best ... and we weren't playing against the best tonight either

St Kilda had 5 of their best 15 not playing

We did play quite well but too many passengers for a team that's ultimate goal is the premiership

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
