6. ANB - Never stopped trying

5. Oliver - Our only midfielder who seemed to get his hands on the ball consistently

4. Pickett - Always exciting to watch.

3. Salem - Decent return from injury.

2. Petracca - Had some good moments but went missing for large portions of the game.

1. Fritsch - Our only winner in the forward 50

Sorry dubdee but kozzzy seriously ran in circles most of the night.  Turned in 360 degree circles and uses his left foot to spray the footy.  Had 3 golden chances for goals in the 3rd quarter.  Had some good moments like run and pass to McAdam.   But not our best. Not even close. 

It’s been a very long time since I’ve cast votes after a loss like that one, but I’ll have a crack:      
6.   ANB  -  continued his excellent season.  Busted his gut all game, and imo, was our best by a fair margin. Won plenty of the ball, and used it constructively.
5.   Viney  -  can’t question his endeavour, but disposal was questionable under pressure.
4.   Fritsch  -  our only forward.  Thank goodness for his set shot kicking
3.    Pickett -  always looked dangerous around the ball, but often tried to be too ‘cute’ when he had it.    
2.   Oliver  -  got plenty of the ball, but not damaging with it.   
1.   Salem  -  nice return after injury.  Good second half, and used it well.

No wonder we were soundly beaten!!

Just so tired of watching kicks go over heads, or bounce short, or hospital handballs or guys who just slam it on the boot when they have time. By the same guys week after week after week.    We had 36 inside 50s for the game against a bottom 4 side on a dry day.   The list above represents disposal efficiency.

Best 7 were Gawn, ANB, Pickett, Rivers, Viney, Oliver and Fritsch, but all were a fair way behind the Eagles best.  Probably go:

6. ANB

5. Gawn

4. Pickett

3. Fritsch

2. Viney

1. Rivers

Having said that, it was a poor a performance as we've seen since the dross we served up in Cairns in 2020. May - worst game in a very long time and he had plenty of mates.  Our mids were flogged by the Boy Wonder and his counterparts.

May received just 26 AFs!

26!

Maysie, we love you and need you.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. 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. Since that game, the Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
