6: Davey (only player in our team who can kick)

5: Warnock (officially one of the best defenders in the game, will finish very, very high in the B & F)

4: Morton (Very exciting in the first half)

3: Frawley (Gave some good dash, starting to justify his high draft pick selection)

2: Green (solid as ever, what else do you expect?)

1: Jones (good player)

6: Warnock - our best, did what he had to do

5: Jones - needs help from his fellow midfielders, do they know how to shepherd, clear a path or in Mcleans case CHASE.

4: Davey - our most reliable kick

3: Martin - Strong overhead (punch, mark) and quick

2: Petterd - provided a contest, and pressure

1: Miller - the only non-back capable of taking a mark consistently

Can anyone at the game, comment on what midfielders provide any defensive pressure????

I find it interesting so many put Davey BOG. Aside from the fact he hit targets I actually thought he caused more harm than good. He stood sideways from the player with the ball and then when it was given to him offered no run but just chipped it to someone else. I would assume he was there to offer run but I did not see it.

6. Jones (starting to see the Scott West influence)

5. Warnock (great backmens effort)

4. Green (most dangerous player in our forward half)

3. Morton (Improved performance. First half skills were sublime, second half skills were iffy -Freak 72% overall does not make him elite this week)

2. Miller (Led hard all day)

1. Davey (purely weight of numbers and lack of other 1 vote options)

Davey was the ONLY player in our team to break lines and find targets with pinpoint accuracy , and provide tackling pressure .

I believe it was one of his best ever performances for the club

I did not think he broke too many. Many of his possessions were easy uncontested dish offs and too many of his disposal were short passes not penetrating the oppositions lines. I dont think from the wieght of possessions really hurt the opposition. He does show that he has class I wish he could do more with the ball.

I would expect opposition coaches will seek to nullify the easy handpass to Davey and make him more accountable.

He was one of best today and has played much better for us in the past.

Are we really happy with Davey collecting cheap possessions in the back half? Besides a couple good tackles he did not have an influence on the game along with Bruce and to a lessor extent Green. I prefer to give my votes to those that did.

6 - Warnock

5 - Rivers

4 - Frawley

3 - Morton

2 - Moloney

1 - Jones

My Votes:

6: Warnock (great defensive game considering the amount of time it went there)

5: Davey (great footskills - endeavour wa sback eventhough a number of opponents were able to easily avoid him

4: Morton (good run and effort today)

3: Green (went missingin last quarter but not Robinson Crusoe

2: Miller (he had them on toast until being concussed)

1: Bruce (needs to avoid those annoying, stupid and costly mistakes)

Honoralble mention to J Mac for his tacking and Jones (would have got in my votes but consistentlytries to beat 3-4 opponents and gets caught. Has poor awareness). Back to earth for some of our younger players (Cheney, Petterd, etc).

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
