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

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
