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.  
     

    6- Rivers 

    5- Lever

    4- Melksham 

    3- Brayshaw

    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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
