Apologies to Gawn, May, Brayshaw and ANB who all player vote worthy games. Even Roo is stiff, with 3 goals and some good ruck work.

6. Lever - for his superb final quarter which settled the game in our favour.

5. Melksham - contest after contest after contest.

4. Viney - I always favour the workers. Plus, he produced a masterclass in wearing tackles and still getting the ball moving.

3. Rivers - positive energy

2. Petracca - worked himself back into it

1. Langdon - acknowledgement for doing his job really well and being important when we were not doing so well as a team

Many others deserve respectful nods because we were frequently forced to play outside of our comfort zones and responded pretty well.


Really tough to choose, so many players had a mixture of good and bad moments.

6 Lever - the intercept king is back.

5 Rivers - strong and decisive.

4 Viney - usual warrior-like performance.

3 Sparrow - powerful in contests and showed good touches.

2 McVee - tidy and reads play superbly.

1 Melksham - has locked in his finals spot.

Honourable second-half mentions to Max, Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw and ANB.

I’ll admit I’m not brilliant at separating players by one vote. But I thought our best were Melky, Lever, Rivers, Sparrow, Brayshaw and Viney.

I’ll also admit I am surprised by the inclusion of JVR, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and McVee in other people’s votes. 

No votes at all for Oliver and Trac. Both failed to make a contribution although Trac did exert himself in the last quarter.  
 

6- Rivers 

5- Lever 

daylight 

4- Melksham 

3- Brayshaw 

daylight  

2- Gawn

1- JVR for his straight kicking 3 goals 

apologies to Hunter, May and Langdon 

average -,Bowey Sparrow, Mcvee, Tomlinson, Smith, ANB, Chandler 

below average today - Kozzzy , Trac, Oliver, Salem

Laurie worked himself into the contest but might miss out next week 

Schache only played a soft 25 minutes (he is as physical as a 12 year old schoolboy)

  • 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.
