Petty? He played one of the worst key defensive roles at our club since probably a game from OMac in 2020. His body language stinks and got badly beaten in one-on-ones again.

    This is a tough call, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

    6.   Chandler:  A four quarter ‘workhorse’.  Ran hard all day, put his body on the line, and kicked three goals. One of his best games.
    5.   Oliver:  Slowly working back to his best.  Never gave up against the odds.
    4.   Salem:  Solid defensively, despite that he seems to have lost a yard.  Mostly precise delivery, and a few nice second efforts.
    3.   Bowey:  Solid game, spoilt by a couple of costly clangers.
    2.   Lindsay:  Very mature and composed for his age and experience. A big part of our future.
    1.    Henderson:  mostly nice vision and neat execution.  Will be around for a while, I expect.

    Not voting - very disappointed,

    Only one player can honestly hold his chin up!

    Didn't see the game, and probably won't, now, but good to see Lindsay featuring.

    Have enough people voted yet to end this toom?

    Working yesterday and just watched the replay, so I feel quite confident that five players were worthy.

    Sixth goes to one of our hardest workers.

    6 Chandler - This was his best game ever and showed that Goody's faith in him was worth the wait. I am one of those who queried his ability to be physically effective enough to play small forward and having some time in middle helped break up that role and he was mega clean, unlike teammates.

    5 Oliver - Very good at winning the footy (12 clearances) and one lovely left-foot goal. But he was part of a terrible bit of play after halftime when both he and Trac failed to stick tackles on Paul Curtis. But still very much a step back to his good old days of 2021.

    4 Lindsay - Laid the most tackles of any Demon and very effective with his disposals. Career only two games in, but gees he looks the part.

    3 Bowey - Made perhaps the biggest howler with a dreadful shanked kick when going long through the middle that resulted in a Zurhaar goal, but otherwise was very serviceable and he's made a great start to the season after a very good game last week.

    2 Salem - Neat and tidy all day and seemed to play close to his opponents.

    1 Sparrow - Yes I know he had no awareness when being chased down with a shot on goal, but at least he worked his butt off along with Viney. Both turned the ball over continuously, but Viney's left boot missed passes did more damage to us than Sparrow's errant ball blasts.

    Not worried about the votes.

    Was that a breakout game for Chandler? Sure looked like it. .Its taken a while but with some players when the penny drops  it hits the turf with a thud.

    He now knows what he is capable of doing.

    If that is his new standard going forward I will take that loss and look forward to Kosi joining him up forward.

    3 Myself for making the effort to go to Shizzen stadium and catching the train and being entertained by the antics of other travellers,which was better than what was dished up by the Dees on Sunday!

    2 Myself for staying till the end

    1 Myself for putting up with buses replacing trains and not getting home until after 9

    Definitely chandlers best game. Did not think he had this level in him, well done.

    other years he has started OK then faded hope this also changes.

    Windsor and Oliver both played well. 
     

    3 positives  make the result a little more palatable

    That Daniel Turner is 8th is bizarre and concerning.

    He touched the pill 7 times at 57% efficiency.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • 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.
