Brayshaw?? Not in my top 10 today. Serviceable at best.  

I thought he was pretty bloody good in the CB gets behind only Viney. 
Was pivotal in a lot I50 entries.

    Just got home.  What an epic game of footy.  Well done to both teams.  Max Gawn played perhaps the best second half I've ever seen today.  He imposed himself on the game in a way that only he can do.

    6. Gawn

    5. Viney.

    4. Petty

    3. Petracca

    2. Melksham

    1. Pickett

    JVR is going to be a very good footballer, which we all already knew.  He loves body contact - the hallmark of most of the better big forwards.

    6.  Gawn  -  a Colossus again.  What a leader!

    5.  Viney  -  behind Max, but another outstanding, ‘lead from the front’ performance

    4.  Petty -  6 goals and only 4 votes. A revelation.

    3.  Melksham  - getting better by the week since his return.

    2.  Neal-Bullen  -  a consistent work-horse who plays one of the hardest positions on the field.  Doesn’t get enough recognition.

    1.  Lever -  just typical Jake.

    Plenty of others who I couldn’t squeeze in including Riv, Lingers,Tracc & Hunter.

    6. Petty - come on guys, clunked it, kicked 6 and kicked a ripping snap

    5. Gawn - a colossus later in the game but was actually beaten early 

    4. Petracca - beast mode

    3. Viney - really solid midfield game 

    2. Rivers - got lucky with some Riv shanks but just loved his drive and energy 

    Hard for the 1 vote, could go Langdon, Lever, Gus, Melk, JVR, Pickett

    1. ANB settled ok Nibbler because he rebounded from early shockers to be good and did a job on Rioli who’s incredibly dangerous and had limited impact

    2 - Milkshake - accuracy

    1 - Roo - he’s gunna be a beauty

    ANB, Riv, Rick, Ed, Gus, Kozzie and everyone that pulled on the Red & Blue today. What a great win.!!!!

    A bit mystified by votes to Bowey and McVee. 

    Think with McVee people are confused whether he was responsible for any of Dusty's goals. I think only one was on McVee. The others were from the midfield where as far as I could see Brayshaw was responsible for him.

    By the numbers;

    6 Max Gawn

    5 Harrison Petty

    4 Jack Viney

    3 Christian Petracca

    2 Ed Langdon

    1 Alex Neal-Bullen

    Honourable mentions:

    Jake Melksham

    Jacob Van Rooyen

    Kysaiah Pickett

    Trent Rivers

    Jake Bowey

    Jake Lever

     

    Special mention;

    James Harmes after a woeful start became an effective team contributor.

    Adjudication;

    After the ledger was rather skewed for 3/4's the final balance was acceptable. Tiger fans may feel the rough end at the end but footy like life sucks sometimes.

    Broadcasters;

    Nathan Jones talks sense, Patrick, Rodney Dangerfield is much funnier, Luke Darcy had a belated conversation on the road to Damascus after being tiger terrific most of the afternoon.

    From the director's chair;

    A terrific game of footy with high stakes. The Demons' ability to absorb pressure and repeated momentum swings late in the season is really giving the faithful something to believe in. With Captain Max leading the victorious charge to the final siren. Bravo!

    6. Petty with 6. Also 7 marks inside 50, we don't win the game without him for mine.

    5. Gawn - 22 contested possesions for a ruckman with 9 in the last quarter is absolutely insane.

    4. Viney - That man is made of granite. 32 possessions, 9 tackles, 7 clearances. This is the best patch of his career.

    3. Trac - Possibly a few misses away from being higher. The master of the score involvement with 13.

    2. Lever - 9 Intercept possessions, tough day for the backline but he was great.

    1. Melksham - Played his role to absolute perfection and dobbed some beauties.

    Apologies Brayshaw, Rivers, Langdon.

    I’m not confused  at all. It was one of his poorer games.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
