I couldn’t bring myself to vote last weekend and I can only muster one name today and that’s Gawn 

I was a tad irrational - nibbler did a great job on daicos today

    Unfortunately, this was another underwhelming performance by the Dees, where too much was left to too few.  I hate trying to vote in these circumstances, but this is my crack at it:      
    6.   ANB  -  the coaches gave him one of the toughest assignments in football, and he excelled, in his usual ‘trademark’, no fuss way.  His outstanding season continues!

    5.   Gawn  -  a typical Max game, both in the ruck, and especially in the back half.  Worked his butt off all day, but he can’t do it all on his own.

    4.   JVR  -  our only forward to provide a legitimate target, and convert more often than not.  Only a kid, but based on today’s performance, he’s coming of age quickly.

    3.   Pickett  -  a ‘live wire’, both running through the centre and up forward. We always looked better when he had the ball, but his missed shots at goal at crucial times, were costly.

    2.   Rivers  -  worked tirelessly trying to hold back the ‘avalanche’, but was sometimes overwhelmed by their numbers.  Watching on TV, I thought he was trying to combine his usual running HB role, with that of Rick Lever the interceptor, which is a very big ask!

    1.  Salem  -  another who battled hard against the pace and precision of C’wood’s forward entries, and one of very few Dees who didn’t regularly fluff disposals under pressure.

    TMac probably warrants mention for his steady game under pressure.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
