Gawn - All Australian performance 

Viney - great first half

Pickett - always looked likely

Neal-Bullen - impressive connection game

Billings - many wasted possessions 

Salem - impressive first half

Langdon - needed more involvement 

Petty - had some moments

Sparrow - not a tagger

McVee - rarely showed out

McDonald - held opponent well

Chandler - was rarely dangerous 

Lever - just a shadow

Tomlinson - effective not showy

Hore - some inexplicable errors

Oliver - lazy and inefficient 

Turner -?had little impact 

Fritsch - a wasted talent

Howes - held dangerous opponent 

Tholstrup - regularly lacked awareness 

Rivers - a disappointing performance

vanRooyen - couldn’t get involved 

Melksham - couldn’t influence game

 

 

Bit tough  on melksham
he played half a quarter! plus he was involved in what should have been the winning play via fritsch and tholstrup. 

I thought TMac was not good tonight, and was outmarked by Ratagulea multiple times. Chandler was terrific in his pressure and tackling - surely you saw that, Joeboy! Hore was much better in there second half as he got the pace of the game. And Oliver has many issues, with his hand and his  fitness, but not lazy! So:

 

Joeboy - got many wrong.

Edited by Ollie fan

 

Oliver was pretty sick and others too, so even better effort.

Absolutely no doubt about that.

There’s a few players with covid at other clubs who are suffering. Wouldn’t surprise if a few of our players are too.

McVee - not a mid 

Does not have the frame or ability in heavy congestion. He's a ripping 1v1, aerial and slingshot player. His home is half back.

why play him??

I am far from a Sparrow fan but the amount of times I’ve seen ‘Sparrow - great tagging game’ or similar would suggest you do think he can tag

So you base that broad statement on a sample of one and a bit games? Gee, you're good Nostradamus.

Very tough assessments there indeed.  Thought Turner, Lever and Sparrow were all very good contributors.  The pile on of Clarry is obscene.

I'm not basing it on his output as a mid last night. I'm basing it on my assessment of him as a player and I've been saying this ever since people started mentioning his name for midfield 

Am allowed to have long held opinions champ. Jog on

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
