Very hard because we really didn't have a player who won their position.  We had some triers so here goes -

6. Van Rooyen - 8 marks, a couple of goals, looked like he put in a decent effort.

5. May - some rubbish stat padding but wasn't disgraced and managed to get the Freo fans riled up so points for that.

4. Petty - was decent around the ground but as long as his backside points to the ground he no ruckman. Liked his contested marking.

3. McVee - he played another solid game.  He's composed under pressure and uses it well.

2. Billings - did more in less than a half than most did in a full game.

1. Langdon - ran a lot, got to position well and was a useful link

Absolutely shocking effort by our midfield - Viney, Oliver, Sparrow, ANB, Rivers, Pickett.  As poor a display as you could see.

Lever - just about a career worst game.

 


Votes? For that performance?

Maybe 1 to Langdon for trying to teach Fritsch that the game involves running, chasing and tackling.

6   McVee. Stood up under fierce heat. Kid is so composed

5   McDonald. The wide vision on TV was damning. On transition the only bloke running with intent was 94 year old TMac

4   JVR. Sadly is the second best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit forward

3   Petty. Sadly is the third best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit around the ground

2   May. Had a crack, showed some passion & comittment

1   Billings. Also damning. Did more in a half than most of our mids contributed for the game

6 McVee 

5 Langdon 

4 RIV

3 JVR 

2 Petty 

1 May 

mids. Horrible. Oliver. Sparrow. JV7. ANB. Kozzzy.  All were horrible.  
defence. Lever was worst game ever.

Yeah I was hoping no-one would vote out of protest.

6 - Harry Petty - For re-signing, for some outstanding contested marks today and for slotting that goal after having the yips all year. Go you good thing!

5 - meh etc


6. JVR

5. Langdon 

4. McVee

3. Windsor

2. Petty

1. May

6 - Jacob van Rooyen tried his guts out

5 - Steven May despite some blues

4 - Harrison Petty good around the ground plus he re-signed to ‘27

3 - Ed Langdon our running man

2 - Judd McVee great awareness

1 - Trent Rivers just edged out Billings

Our midfield badly mauled by Freo and penalised by umps as well, our much vaunted backline were badly beaten by Freo’s as well, junior football stuff, who was guarding the goal square and Jake Lever you were so out of touch today what the hell, outmarked, outplayed jumping at shadows.

Casting votes today is very similar to my Year 6 maths exam ie. aImost impossible!!
All of our boys lowered their colours, in a performance I seriously want to forget, but here goes:

6.   May  -  under immense pressure all game given the amount of ball coming in, and the complete absence of our hallmark ‘team defence’.  Battled manfully, and won or halved some contests.   
5.  JvR  -  worked hard, whether ruck or forward.  Commendable effort against huge odds.
4.   Petty  -  clearly not a ruckman, but battled hard all game, and contested marking around the ground (especially in the second half), was a worthy effort.
3.   Langdon  -  ran all day (again!), and should be commended for his work-rate.
2.   McVee  -  solid in the face of insurmountable odds.  Showed his usual good composure when he had the ball.
1.    Rivers  -  little influence as a mid, but improved considerably when he went to HB in the second half.


6. McVee

  • 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.
