1 Viney, if nothing else other than being the only one that gave a damn about our jumper and got us going in the second.

only two that actually give effort throughout the whole time they were on the ground??????? the whole team was missing in the 1st apart from them two

Agree with oliver, but 9 out of 10 handballs go to opposition.

1.5 million for effort, we can get 15 aiden Johnston's for that

Melksham - probably should've kicked 7 or 8. He was thoroughly dominant. Loves the QLD weather

Pickett - influenced largely by his epic last quarter

Viney - putrid first quarter but along with Gawn got us competitive again in the second

Gawn - see above. Witts is a very good AFL ruckman and Gawn shaded him

Bowey - 25 at 88%. Our best ball user by a mile

Petracca - gets a vote simply because he was involved but his butchery is a real problem.

6 Melky - 5.6 and a nice assist for a Kossie goal. He's getting better at 34, but it really just shows that if you use your body well and mix it up by leading you can be influential. Amazing last term by him given he started cramping in third term. And he's just 188cm tall.

5 Kozzie - a magical game again by Koz. Played pretty much the whole third term as our full-forward and then went back to being allowed to run in the last and he was the wiz through the middle.

4 Viney - we missed him in the middle in the first term, so Goody sent him back in there and his grunt and contest work turned the game back our way, although like everyone he struggled to stop Rowell.

3 Trac - he was lively and passionate, he just kept butchering the ball. If he'd hit targets he was our best by a street.

2 Salem - clever with his disposal, our enforced chip game because of no tall suited him to a tee.

1 Bowser - hit targets most of the time and went forward more than any other player. Geez he's having a good year. Should finish top three in our B&F.

Apologies to Rivers who had a better game down back and even hit a target - Fritter on the lead was a beauty. But he still needs more intensity and smarts.

6 to Melk a remarkable game and thrashed MacAndrew
5 to Kozzie for being the spark, run & carry
4 Bowey the modern day half back
3 Trac his effort was outstanding
2 Max must be tired of carrying this team.
1 Viney frantic once he realised he was in a game

6 - Jake Melksham dominant game from Milkshake

5 - Kozzie Pickett I thought he and Jake might get us over the line

4 - Jake Bowey need to get the ball into his hands more

3 - Christian Petracca in the engine room where it’s close and personal

2 - Trent Rivers got better as the game went on

1 - Jack Viney helped get us back in the game.

Then Max, Salo and Claz.


6 Melksham. Wow he battled hard v Andrew all day. To stop Andrew intercept marks was one thing, but also to kick 5.6 is a huge day. He was 100% effort. (But his miss from 15 metres directly in front in the last was a killer!!! Forget the snap when directly in front)

5 Kozzzzzy. He’s special. He is so energetic. He’s a ripper. Loved his goals. All three were excellent. In fact sometimes he needs to just keep running. He was manhandled all day and got zero umpiring favours (unlike Daicos !!) Kozzzy is worth the $$$$

4 Bowey. He is having a great year. Again his kicking today was a highlight. 88%disposals efficiency. He battled on as well in defence to intercept or tackle. Great game. 600 metres gained !!

Now a gap

3 Gawn. Just 100% heart all day v Witts. Supreme battle. Two big guys giving it all. Gawn kicked a great goal in the 2nd. His overall ruck work was very good.

2 Rivers. Sent deep in defence as Howes went down early. But he had good run and carry and disposal generally very good. Effort today was a big lift on the port power game.

1 Viney. Yes all heart. Had some poor moments, runs himself into trouble or back into the pack but he’s efforts at the contest were tough relentless footy . Disposal again let him down. Umps didn’t reward some of his efforts

Apologies to

Trac … yes won the footy today and generally cracked in to win the footy to try to create….but he butchered crucial forward entries. Also his miss shot from 25 metres out in the 2nd qtr was so so bad after a great passage of play (how can you miss a snap so high and so wide!!) And plus he almost killed Chandler with a setup kick in the 3rd. His disposal is actually getting worse. His inside 50’effectiveness was poor.

Salem… he gets the footy and uses it ok for a 15 metres pass to a sideways or backwards player sometimes. 200 metre gained today is low again. Was ok in the contest but as a defender , his lack of pace was caught out 3-4 times leading directly to Suns goals.

For those giving trac votes, don't look at the stat's. He was going 18% by foot. Barely did anything good with the ball

I gave him 1 vote based on a bone crunching tackle and a handball.

It's telling on demonland that at times has a mob mentality that looks at stats and rewards past performance Petracca barely raises a vote, despite having our most possesions.

A norm smith medalist in our only premiership in 50 years and he is a list clogger.

In the last few rounds don't worry about playing the kids.

Let Petracca and Lever play completely unaccountable football, look better than they are, and get whatever we can for them.

They both need to go and are a blight on our leadership group.

4 Bowey

Um no one else

Our midfield got exposed for defensive pressure big time. Oneexample Miller ran hard ftom deep bscks and was involved in at east 2 times probably3, as the ball csme dowm the wing and endeded up a goal - at the same time Trsc was jogging through the middle parrallel and gave up spproaching 50.. Hard to give them votes.

Gawn

Melks

Picket

Turner

Bowey

Viney

Note the lack of midfield defensive pressure allowed theirs to deliver darts into their forwards, or kick to advantage.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
