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

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
