6. ANB - Never stopped trying

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!!

    1. ANB.

    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.

    4. Oliver

    3. Petracca

    The top three deserve their votes; the last three were just the best of the remainder.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • 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.
