Love the kudos that ANB is getting, he is in ripping form and finishing his work beautifully.

No gong for five-goal Fritter?

haha. I always list my votes without referencing any stats or anybody else. I honestly forgot about Fritter until I'd submitted my votes and then went 'doh' after i saw everyone else.Ā

6-Viney-Epic, could have played footy in any decade in the last 100 years and would still be the toughest guy in it.

Fritsch-5 goals on return, is a movie plot you wouldnā€™t believe.

Trac-power through traffic.

ANB-in any starting 18 in the league.

Brayshaw-working so hard.

Rivers-hard to split with McVee but just.

Apologies to Langdon and Clarry and Sparrow and May

Clarry did lots of work, but felt like he is not releasing other players as well as he normally does.

I just want to say thank you DLers for all your votes. Without you this award doesn't happen.

Ā 

There's always different perceptions of what a good game is and I really enjoy reading the number of different slants on performances. Give yourselves a pat on the back!


6. Ā Viney - strong all game, and along with Petracca, turned the game in our favour when it needed to be turned.

5. Ā Petracca - Vineyā€™s main accomplice in turning the game our way, but had a quieter first half.

4. Ā Fritsch - Ā won the game off his own boot. Ā Welcome back Fritta, but no more ā€˜scaresā€™ please.

3. Ā Neal-Bullen Ā - Ā continued to play his (very underrated) role to perfection.

2. Ā Brayshaw Ā - Ā ā€˜work horseā€™ continuing to produce, week in, week out.

1. Ā McVee Ā - Ā played like a top shelf veteran, as usual.

Langdon, Hunter and Rivers also earned a mention.

Highly tempted to include McVee for the last vote. What an outstanding first year from the young man.

How are the final votes calculated in this award?

By the numbers;

6 Jack Viney

5 Bayley Fritsch

4 Christian Petracca

3 Alex Neal-Bullen

2 Clayton Olivier

1 Angus Brayshaw

Honourable mentions;

Jake Bowey

Edward Langdon

Steven May

Judd McVee

Kysaiah Pickett

Joel Smith

Special mention;

Jake Melksham all the best for a speedy recovery. Follow that dream Jake.

Adjudication;

Free kick deferential was favourable, play in front boys. Razor Ray deserves his cheque.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Buddy farewell! It's been a long and spectacular career.

Broadcasters;

No real complaints. Adequate and none intrusive overall.

From the director's chair;

Admirable resilience and ability to arrest opposition momentum swings. As Goody says it is a 'hallmark' of this year's team. Go deep into September Demons!

If it wasn't for the broadcasters I wouldn't have known that Sydney was playing for a home final. How many times did it get mentioned? 10? 12?

I like that 28 players out of the 33 that have played have polled, says good things about the depth of the squad. would have though Viney would have been closer to Trac though.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayā€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
