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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
