    Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

    Sparrow offers nothing.

    I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

     You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

    I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

    Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

    thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
     

    pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

    joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

    Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

    Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

    Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

    Tom McDonald - best tall defender

    Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

    Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

    Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

    Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

    I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

    Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

    If he wasn't so good he'd be finished.

    I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
     

    Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

     

    Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

    With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

    The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

    All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

    Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

    Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

    Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
