Tough to find just 6, which is nice for a change

6: Gawn
5: Pickett
4: Bowey
3: Rivers
2: Viney
1: Petty

 
  1. The Crowd.

25k is perhaps 10k more than many would have realistically expected.

What a club. That is some proper resilience and everyone who went deserves the win.

Virtue rewarded.

Absolute team effort though across the board


6 Pickett - terrorized the defenders.

5 Gawn - the giant reigns again.

4 Bowey - clinical skills.

3 Viney - snuffed Serong out.

2 McDonald - vintage defending.

1 Petty - kicked key goals.

And bonus marks all round (including Goody!)

I actually felt we had six phenomenal contributors today and a lot of very good role players outside the big six.

The order of the big six can vary a bit, depending on your view of what factors win matches, but here goes from me.

6 Bowey - I don't think i have seen a better defensive first half from any Demon in a long time. He tackled with intent, he kicked with outstanding vision and compiled 21 touches to halftime. He's been in our best two players all year and i'd now say he is in the All-Australian mix (yes laugh if you like, but his past month has been at a new level. The challenge now for him is to back it up.

5 Kozzie - Our matchwinner with five goals and plenty of clearances. Elusive and dangerous and more effective than Bolton. I reckon he'd get the 3 Brownlow votes from this game, but I'd be really disappointed if Goody didn't give his five coaches award votes to Bowey.

4 Viney - yes I was one who wanted him moved out of the middle to play ANB's role this week because his kicking has been bog ordinary. Part of that was because Ed was the only player I could see keeping up with Serong. But it was Ed who was moved into ANB's spot and Viney went head to head with Serong and returned to his 2018 finals form.

3 Gawn - yes he missed two shots at goal and his opponent Darcy kicked a couple, but big Max won the hitouts and dished off a few very clever over the top handballs that allowed Trac and Kozzie to break free from the middle. He also marked beautifully all game and I'd be surprised if his disposal efficiency isn't mega high. Great game from the big fells and a huge presence in the last term.

2 Petty - Wow, we haven't had a genuine forward since his game against Geelong at the MCG last year and this was better than that because most of his work was from the goalsquarre. He beat Pearce and Draper all game, whether it be leading up or just pushing them out in a marking contest. Will play at FF for the rest of the season now, but here's the thing Goody, there will be a game or three when someone has his measure and it is OK to switch him. That's the role of the coach.

1 T-Mac - apologies that he only got one vote because you couldn't help but admire the work he did all day on Treacy, who apart from Hogan, is the league's most in-form forward. In fact the only time T-Mac got beaten was by his brother Oscar on a lead. T-mac was clever with his disposal and just so aerially dominant. Normally his game would have been a 6-voter.

  1. Gawn

5. Pickett

4. Bowey

3. Viney

2. Rivers

1. MacDonald

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • 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.
