Gawn - a powerful performance 

Viney - not as prolific 

May - dominated until injured 

Rivers - reliable and creative 

Salem  - solidified the defense 

Howes - a mature head

Langdon - better second half

Petracca - outstanding second half 

Fritsch - outplayed stronger opponent

Oliver - couldn’t shake opponent

Chandler - clever small forward

Pickett - great first half

Hore - tight and reliable 

Sparrow - tough and skilled 

Lever - quiet before injury

Brown - little to commend

Petty - better down back

McDonald - another steady performance 

McVee - continues to shine

van Rooyen- showing commendable versatility 

Neal- Bullen - consistent and focused 

Billings - impressive first half

Windsor - a Langdon clone

 

 

 

 

Langers, best game for ages.

joeboy - keep on punchin’

A consistent and fair appraisal overall. Goody in his presser seemed pleased that Sammy Mitchell persisted with his master tagger. Just leaves the hawks one short offensively at the centre bounces and ball ups. The Demon onball collective appeared to enjoy an even team orientated performance. Clayton Oliver contributed manfully with 23 possessions despite quote ‘couldn’t shake opponent’ and being the focus of some extracurricular physical attention. With 14 disposals in the Round 23 clash last season that triplet would fit. Given the coach’s tactical response and the fact that #13 had an over 60% improvement in possessions this time.

Oliver - cunning plan gazumped 

Ed watch 26 disposals at 76.9% DE 4 tackles at 92% ToG%. 

Langdon - kicks klicks quick

Young Caleb’s GPS data must be impressive considering his youth. Great addition to the Winger’s club.

Windsor - has the tank

Nice on Fritta - loved it when he outbodied Sicily to mark and goal in the last qtr, who went down like a sack of spuds

Good to see him back to his best.

As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals.

And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more.

With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room.

Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals.

I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest.

I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps.

I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs.

Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

Petracca - laser like bullets

van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman

Petty - versatility is gold

Howes - most improved player

Windsor - pace to burn

That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

 

Tracc- what a footballer

Having seen the replay, I suspect the damage to May's ribs was caused by Chol landing on top of May who was partially lying sideways on the ground. I doubt it was the collision itself (and even if it was, Chol did nothing wrong).

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
