6. Oliver - great first half but kept to 9 in the second half and only 3 in the last.

5. Viney - 15 contested, again a better first half than second but played a good game.

4. Rivers - 10 contested and 7 clearances.

3. Langdon - ran hard all night and presented an option.

2. Gawn - nowhere near his best and beaten by Briggs in a couple of important centre bounces but played an important role, with 12 contested possessions, 4 clearances, his own goal and the goal he created for ANB.

1. Lever - outstanding first quarter and a decent last.

 

 

From the TV (unwell tonight even before the game) - shocking camera work onFox / Kayo Rivers

Yes, it may seem odd that 3 mids + Max there given that we were beaten in clearances.

 


Really like the composure of McVee and Moniz-Wakefield.  Lever and Tmcd made me nervous all night.  Like they are thinking in slow motion.   
 

6 McVee - composed and reliable 

5 Langdon - runs and runs and runs 

4 Rivers - great start and kept competing  (plus put Bedford in his box )

3 Viney - huge heart - great goal in 3rd but stupid free also given away  - kept fighting it out 

2 Oliver- seeing signs of his prior self   Needs a big preseason 

1 May - gives 100%  always contests hard and kicks clear the defensive zone 

minus 5 Goodwin - too slow to realise Callaghan is a good player.  Too slow to put May on Hogan. He left Tmcd on Hogan, who was out marking Tmcd for fun !!! 
 

minus 5. Bailey Fritsch.  Laziest player on the team.  Really lazy.  Didn’t man up and doesn’t want to chase at all.  Really needs someone to call him out.  Memo to@binman

6 - Clayton Oliver I also thought it was Clarry’s best game for the year.

5 - Trent Rivers works so hard and never gives in, great 1st half

4 - Jake Lever much better game tonight, ran hard to spoil and link up

3 - Ed Langdon excellent work rate, saved us numerous times, couple of dodgy out of bounds but he back to his best

2 - Judd McVee cool and calm under pressure great kick breaks up their attack

1 - Jack Viney great contested work, wish he had McVee disposal

-10 for Umpires, made my blood boil even when I was starting to freeze, Jeezuz how cold was it at the G tonight. We could have won it but in the end it was Hogan, bad luck, our inability to man up and our poor disposal that cost us the game.


6 Lever - made amends for last week's shocker.

5 McVee - calm and efficient.

4 Oliver - showed pleasing energy.

3 Viney - strong in the contest.

2 Rivers - adds much-needed speed in midfield.

1 Langdon - our running machine.

Our midfield got beaten for 3 quarters of the day and many disposal were inflated by unclean rushed disposals!

Not a single vote amongst Demonanders for Windsor. He almost single handidly orchestrated our first and only quater of dominance.

Not giving votes but I thought the young blokes played well, and will take learnings 

sorry.  
 Monners  I really like. McVee , Windsor, woey 2.0 needs game time to find out how he will be. Laurie probably same but I am not a fan. Is Disco a young bloke. Should play the rest of the season. 
and can someone tell me why Bowey does not have the time and composure he had earlier.  Needs a rest I think.

Because he only touched the ball 6 times, including 0 in the second and 0 in the last.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
