and -476 for Salem for his ridiculous dinky kicks, but especially for missing an absolute sitter - not making the distance from 42 metres out.

    6 May - kept the dangerous Curnow on a pretty tight leash.

    5 Viney - four quarters of ferocious work.

    4 Brayshaw - unspectacular but effective.

    3 Petracca - influence grew as the game went on.

    2 Hunter - did more than his share of running and chasing.

    1 Oliver - quiet first half but helped turn the tide in the second.

     

    Biggest disappointment: Salem, usually so calm and cool but the radar was sadly astray tonight.

    4. Viney - forgiven for the volume of clangers because he frankly half the time it was supernatural that he even got the ball in the situations he was in.

    3. Oliver - bit underdone, eh.

    2. Rivers - one of few who really gained ground in useful ways

    1. May - Broke even with the current best forward in the game.

    There'd be some honourable mentions, but I really have to give my own -1 to Salem, who's [censored] pop-up handballs were more likely to get a teammate injured than get a counter-attack going, and whose kicking was all over the place.

    Multiple players had some good moments but simply weren't in it often enough.

    6 - JV 

    5 - Gus just got better and better

    4 - Tracc kicked the winning goal but was robbed

    3 - Hunter 

    2 - Ed

    1 - Clarry had a huge second half very rusty but he has had a huge break from footy.

    Special mentions to our mighty backline May, Lever, Riv, Judd & Bowey and our Skipper who dominated the Ruck contests.

    6. Brayshaw. Hardest I've seen him work.

    5. Viney

    4. May. Did his job.

    3. Rivers. Useful

    2. Langdon. Kept running.

    1. Tracc, 2 goals should have been 3.

    Unlucky Lever

    Just watched the replay.

    6 Rivers - Good in air in greasy conditions and provided great disposal and dash and tight on opponents. Most improved player by miles.

    5 Petracca - the classiest player on ground and hardest for Blues to contain scored the winning goal (which wasn't). Worked hard on defence as well.

    4 Lachie Hunter - clever positioning all night. Not dangerous but always presenting and made a hue goalsquare marking contest save early.

    3 Angus Brayshaw - like Trac seemed to realise Carlton's intensity was more than ours and stepped up and put his body on the line time and time again. But played on influential Cripps for a lot of night so loses points.

    2 Steven May - really strong and provided offensive support with his lovely left foot. Held Coleman winner to two goals and about five kicks.

    1 Jack Viney - gave it his all, but not as clean as the past three weeks, so just the one.

    How can you have no defenders other than Salem & he was probably the worst defender on the night

    Midfield was smashed for a half

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
