Im shocked that some people have Max over Trac. We don't even get a chance at the come back without Trac. For most of the game, that was one of the best solo performances I have seen in a long time. Max was absolutely fantastic, of course.

I went Max because he was great for 4 quarters. Trac was missing for 10 minutes in the second when they were charging. Although he did come straight back into it and kicked one to show how dangerous he was. I think you can go either way for me it’s more consistent effort vs outright brilliance

You're welcome to be shocked but 21 contested possessions and 10 clearances for a ruckman isn't good. It's out of this world good.

Thought Hunter might have picked up a few 1's & 2's.  Felt he was solid all night (26 possessions)

DE rating wasn't kind to him but I didn't think he was wasteful

Had the most metres gained by any player on the night (559) 2nd best none other than Joe Daniher with 490

 

Hate to brag but check the match day thread:

’Melbourne … M …. Gawn … 3 votes’

I told youse.

Top 3 standout and then any number of players could have filled the next 3

6 - Gawn (a colossus all night)

5 - Petracca (brilliant)

4 - Viney (a beast)

3 - Melksham (dangerous & productive)

2 - Brayshaw (solid)

1 - Hunter (solid)

Unlucky - Pickett, McVee, Bowey, Rivers


One of the easier BOG's of all time I would've thought.

6 Gawn

5 Petracca - he was excellent and the the third best man on the ground behind Max and Daniher who was very nearly a matchwinner for the Lions.

4. Melksham - such a clever player, sometimes too cute but did a good job on Andrews and then proved to be the matchwinner.

3. Viney - an amazing defensive and offensive game, again!

2.Brayshaw - Gus doing the team things again

1. Pickett - Koz was back to somewhere near his best.

I really liked Rivers, Bowey and McVee.  I thought they displayed great poise and footy IQ.  All three of them could easily feature.

6 Gawn 

5 Petracca 

4 Gus 

3 Melksham 

2 Hunter

1 Viney

apologies to Kozzzy, JJ, Bowsa, Salem, Lingers, Riv, Mcvee, Sparrow, and Lever. Ok my top 15🤣🤣

Honourable mentions;

Lachlan Hunter

James Jordan

Steven May

Alex Neal-Bullen

Trent Rivers

Tom Sparrow

Special mention;

Judd McVee

Adjudication;

Bounce downs at the centre square were by and large acceptable. Balls up were a bit of a  balls up, straight up and vertical gentlemen. Timid parabolic attempts are unacceptable. Last one of the match suggests senior umpire Nichols still has it in for Max.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Eric 'the Hipster' Wood gets this week's reality check award for disputing the final contest of the match. The ball landed on Jake Lever's chest. Collect your free eye check from specsavers. A monocle is prescribed.

Broadcasters;

BT managed to read the tea leaves correctly during the last quarter. Predicted a Demon victory with two minutes to go. Nathan Jones' special comments were intelligent and insightful.

From the director's chair;

A come from the clouds win that will inspire belief.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
