Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney

9 Finn Callaghan (GWS)
6 Lachie Whitfield (GWS)
6 James Peatling (GWS)
5 Tom Green (GWS)
2 Brent Daniels (GWS)
1 Clayton Oliver (MELB)
1 Toby Greene (GWS)
 

Kingsley.  Give the Dees players more credit. 
 

Goodwin. Please!!! Surely you’re joking. Only Clarry deserved a single vote. And no one else? Rivers. May. McVee. Any of these could have got votes.  
 

Dees lost by 2 points.  It was a nail biter !!! Could have been a Demons victory if ...  well so many ifs. 
 

This coaches system is flawed. So many biased votes being given by coaches, except for our Goody!!!

    Didnt see that GWS won by 10 goals in the paper.  Maybe Goody is sending a message

    Those votes seem fair to me. I'd have Clarry with a few more there, but none of our other guys deserved votes IMO.

    The first 4 had the most disposals.

    Toby had 3 goals 9 score involvements, Brent had 2 goals and 8 tackles, 8 score involvements etc.

    Rivers and ANB had good games, but below the ones listed above

    I can't disagree with those votes. We had a number of players do a few decent things and then disappear. The Giants players were more consistent across the game, and were clearly more influential when the game was in the balance through the third quarter and into the fourth.

    For me this bodes well for us as it shows an even contribution across the board from a very young team. I don't have any issues with the coaches votes as shown above.

    He's no front runner 'picket', unfortunately he's a great young player. Unfortunately because he plays for them not us...

    Yes to Rivers and maybe Mcvee.

    But certainly for me Lever was well and truly overlooked.

    Our second best after Oliver.

    On reflection, can you genuinely think of one MFC player that was in the best 5 players on the night?

    Meanwhile how did Hogan not get a vote? Tore the game apart in the first half of the last quarter.

    Agree BBP they had the 5-6 most influential players on the ground, however I felt that we had a greater spread of players that understood their roles and stepped up as required. Their midfielders and Hogan were better than our counterparts and we didn’t take our opportunities like they did. Yet we ran all over them late in the 4th and they ran all over us early in the fourth. For all their dominance they are only a 2 point better side than us, so we aren’t as [censored] as a lot on here are asserting. They are clever and know how to chip the ball around and round and string a chain of handballs together quite impressively and rack up a lot uncontested ball to stay in the game.

    And I also thought they were coached well.

    They responded really well to a good old fashioned cook at quarter time, and refused to allow May to take on Hogan. They somehow manipulated the defensive battles such that May would take Riccardi and T Mac would be on Hogan, and we know the rest of the story in the last quarter.

    I wish they  could get him in a trade but it would probably turn out that they couldn't fit him in with the players  already on the list and he'd move to Sydney after one season at Casey

    Again the point.  We lost by 2 points.  A whisker.  It could have gone either way.  

    Yet only one MFC player Oliver got 1 vote (of the 30 votes available).  Goodwin thought the Giants had the best 4 players , which is arguable, and Clarry got 1 conciliatory vote.  Maybe it was the medication!!! Kingsley presumably gave all his votes to his players.  
     

    The 4 blokes in yellow/lime also did well for the Giants, in the last qtr especially.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line 
 Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
