6 Gawn - despite his woeful goalkicking .

5 Turner - one of the few to hold his own.

4 Pickett - early flashes of brilliance.

3 Howes - surprisingly composed under pressure.

Couldn't even find anyone worth 2 or 1.

    Gawn easily. "I'll take you both on with one arm tied behind my back".

    Pickett for a great quarter and a half

    Bowey 21 at 90% and our best ball user.

    Fritsch who looked a threat and got plenty of the ball

    Howes who played probably the best game of his career to date

    Turner who is a real asset with his versatility. Genuine utility players are hard to find but he is one.

    I thought Oliver was ok. He tried hard. May did most things well except stop his man.

    Amazing we give BOG game after game for a bloke that can’t kick

    2.13 for the year is just not acceptable

    I love him and he is a MFC legend but he is part of the problem

    His kicking in previous years was much better. It’s all mental and he is our leader

    Agree about his goal kicking but pretty much everything else the man does is exceptional. The only problem he is a part of is the goalkicking malaise. In most other areas he is our only answer.

    True but his goal kicking is killing us, such a momentum killer

    4 bowey

    6 Gawn - a clear winner again, although his kicking for goal is frustrating.I don'tget why he doesn't aim right and allow for his pull.

    5 Turner -beaten a couple of times on the lead by Georgiades early, he looked dangerous and mobile as a forward.

    4 Pickett - brilliant first half but glute injury made life trickier for him after the break. Teammates blocking his run didn't help as well.

    3 Bowey - once again clever and quick with his clearances, although he did have one howler from a kick-in.

    2 Fritsch - should have kicked five but fumbled a few times when a goal awaited, but kept presenting. Based on that form maybe he's ready to go back to being our third tall up forward.

    1 Howes - did a pretty good job on Rioli for much of the game. Signs that he may almost be AFL standard now. Just needs confidence.

    6 - Max despite his two misses

    5 - Fritta worked hard all day

    4 - Bowsa just wish he had more of it

    3 - Disco

    2 - Clayton

    1 - Blake Howes

    Then Kozzie, Tracc and Langdon

    When things were hot and we were right in the game our misses were huge momentum killers. Georgeades was huge his leading and marking was red hot we had no one that could go with him and Ports delivery to him was exceptional.

    That should be Langford.

    Well, if Max's kicking is truly "ikilling us", he should obviously be dropped.

    Who in our current squad would you think can do a better all-round job than Max?

    Geez, I watched the first half and yet to see the second, but I'm a bit gobsmacked as the players listed above didn't stretch statistician in the first half - Fritsch, Bowey, Howes! I look forward to the second half (apart from the outcome).

    6 Gawn - 100% heart , but his goalkicking is beyond horrific

    5 Pickett (electric in 1st half until Butters elbow to the jaw)

    4 Fritsch - looked determined and took some opportunities, but missed shots were costly

    3 Turner - solid 2nd half

    2 Howes - one of the only solid composed players in the back half

    1 - Bowey. Usually consistent with disposal. BUT was poor with the two turnovers in the first qtr that cost goals !!!

    Lots of negative votes.

    I thought May did OK untill I saw what his opponent did. his mate number 8 was poor as well.

    and i like SM

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
