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.

and Brayshaw, JvR, Langdon👍.

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.

  • Demonland changed the title to VOTES: Rd 23 vs Hawthorn

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!😇

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
