    6 Langdon - busted his gut all night.

    5 Gawn - solid all-round performance.

    4 Rivers - our only classy midfielder.

    3 Fritsch - accurate goalkicking but still lazy.

    2 McDonald - mix of good and bad.

    1 McVee - seldom rattled under constant pressure.

    Dogs had most of the guns tonight, played like a well oiled machine, extracted some revenge.

    Just back and watched Gawny go pretty much one out against the Doggies and only lose by 51.

    6. Captain Max. Outstanding game, massive hit out to advantage numbers, 9 marks, 12 contested, a goal and did it everywhere.  Schooled last years AA ruck.

    5. Langdon put in something resembling an acceptable effort and never stopped running.

    4. Rivers had pretty good numbers but was largely irrelevant as the dogs mids did as they pleased. Still, at least he tried.

    3. Sparrow appeared a bit interested until the last quarter but was still substantially better than most.

    2. McVee was unobtrusive but didn't make many mistakes.

    1. Fritsch kicked a couple, took a nice mark.

    As for pretty much everyone else, hope you enjoyed watching the game.

    The Dogs are a genuinely good team.  Well done to them on the way they have recovered their season.

    They did but I would sooner have the flag.

    Sadly, none of our boys were in the top half dozen on the ground, but they deserve some recognition on here.
    My take on the better Dees:
    6.   Rivers  -  did nothing to harm the plaudits he’s earning as a future high quality mid in the competition.  Needed more support.
    5.   Gawn  -  on one leg, but attitude and leadership under duress were testament to what we’ve come to expect from Max.
    4.   Langdon  -  busted a gut, and ran up and down the wing providing options all night.  We needed more like him. 
    3.   McVee   -  again showed plenty of composure and touches of class under pressure.
    2.   JVR  -  showed enough to confirm why he’s widely regarded as a future star KPF and back-up ruck.
    1.   Sparrow. -  solid return to the ‘big time’.  Dulled the influence the Bont in the second half.

    6 Gawn - I was a bit worried that his calf injury would render him insipid and when he didn't even jump for the first ball-up my fears seemed reality. But to Maxy's credit he lifted and got on top of English in the centre bounces and he also moved fairly swiftly around the ground and took a beauty and goaled in the second term. Definitely in the best six on ground and definitely still in mix for AA.

    5 Bowey - Like many here, I've been really disappointed with Bowzer after a super pre-season. This was the first game that he actually provided run and his confident play up middle in third was our best passage for night. Gees I hope we try him in the middle one day.

    4 Rivers - He's still not delivering with his disposal but he really looks the part as a tall midfielder. 

    3 Langdon - the running man has had a great few weeks since being allowed to go back to his favoured wing.

    2 Van Rooyen - I think it was the second term when May realised JVR was way out on the opposite wing by himself against a smaller opponent and it was just so good to see our man just be so strong in the contest. He's really come a long way this season and is one reason why we don't have to keep looking for the full-forward any more.

    1 Sparrow - After being dropped last week he came back and really applied himself with more confidence. Was sent to Bont in the second and worked hard on him but the Bont is the Bont.

    Harsh on Rivers and McVee.  Definitely showed up and had good games.  Agree and rated others as 2/10 and 3/10.  Lots of passengers

    I believe that means Max can't be passed now. Unless we somehow have a deep September run. Congratulations to him.  Another wonderful season from the legend!

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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?
