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

6 - Max - Formidable

5 - Jack - Linchpin 

4 - Harrison - Hallelujah 

3 - Tracca - immovable 

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
