6. Riv (great game so much so that he was tagged in the last qu!)

5. Viney

4. Max

3. melksham (no mean feat beating Sicily!)

2. Lever (back to his best)

1. Gus 

These I  think     far easier to pick who played poorly,   though I thought everyone was jogging in the first quarter.

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

    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) 

    ARE YOU SERIOUS, Oliver ran his guts out in the last one and a half quarters and even though out of form , was a solid contributer! WASH UR MOUTH OUT

    Clarry was well beaten today. 6 possessions up until half time and 14 in total.  He battled on and tried but was well below average.  99 metres gained.  It’s ok to say he was below average (he’s aStar and we love him) .  McGuinness did a job on him and held him until moved off him onto Riv for the last quarter.

    6) Rivers - our leading possession gatherer and is becoming a serious AFL player.

    5) Lever - Playing his intercepting  best football. 13 marks is incredible impressive.

    4) Viney - another brilliant hard working game. His disposal and decision making has dramatically improved.

    3) Melksham - His presentation and marking up to the football was outstanding and he kept the scoreboard ticking throughout the day. He has that wild card vibe about him and needs to be in our finals team.

    2) Brayshaw - Good midfielder’s performance. Is now a key fixture in our midfield.

    1) ANB - was out of him or Sparrow for the last vote, but we’ll give it to ANB for his milestone. Having a dramatically improved 2023 compared to last year.

    6, Rivers, a weapon off the HB line, great news as Salem's radar still not working as one would hope.

    5, Lever 13 Marks, in great touch, and in a sign of how well our backline is functioning he was able to provide fwd. 50 defensive pressure, because they are such a unit.

    4, Viney, the guy is Steve Austin, plays as if he has a stunt double doing the work, but no it is him every time doing the work.

    3, Melksham, took Sicily out of the game who has been having a great run. Can forgive 4 straight misses ('cos we won).

    2, ANB, 150 games busting a gut for the Red and Blue.

    1, Brayshaw, team player par excellence

    Sorry to May/Langdon/JVR (nearly gave May a vote for his 4th qtr mark, love that he is moving well, always scared about those hammies.

    6.  Lever  -  outstanding intercepting game.  Possibly saved our bacon.

    5.  Melksham  -  fantastic as a defensive and attacking forward.

    4.  Rivers  -  fantastic again, and going from strength to strength.

    3.  Neal-Bullen  -  anyone who criticises his disposal today is a ‘bum’.

    2.  Brayshaw  - purely and simply a work-horse, and did almost everything right.

    1.  Viney -  another ‘lead by example / heart & soul’ game from our VC

    Apols:  Sparrow,  Langdon, McVee

    @Dee Dee  I thought ANB was ok. 15 possessions.  Only 1 tackle. No goals. Had 2 golden chances with shots from 35 metres and both failed to make the distance.

    6. Lever - solid throughout and controlled the game in the second half

    5. Rivers - looked the only player who could run with the Hawks in the first half

    4. Melk - poor finishing and some drop marks cost him but he was all over Sicily early and the best forward

    3. ANB - crucial contest wins and some very good ball use. Didn't finish off his own shots but did enough other important work

    2. McVee - held Breust to 2 (one from a shove in the back), won a number of vital contests when out numbered and had some lovely use too

    1. JVR - solid and important in big moments

    Gus, Viney, Langdon, Gawn unlucky but it wasn't a day for the mids

    I thought he really gave the forward half the zap it needed after halftime. 
     

    His bullocking work when the ball was in dispute was first class.

    Fair enough. It’s interesting how many thought it was him at an absolute ebb, but he can still find votes. Pretty great player, I guess.

    Well beaten? The man has been out 10 weeks I thought he worked his way into it and was a STELLAR performer last one and a half quarters!😇

    • 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?

      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.
