No I didn't !

Yes, Cam got the ball in the last quarter. He also got it in the first three. He used it well all day too. Getting the ball in the last quarter is also a reflection of a good attitude, pride and fitness. Cam was easily our best.

Yze I don't understand what you have against Cameron Bruce. Last week you were saying the same thing about "junktime" stats.

I have nothing against any player on our list.

I just call it how it is, thats all.

Ah, wrote a decent reply that got lost, pooh so I apologise if this is crap.

Bartram I thought tried really hard and is starting to get into the flow of things.

Bruce - For someone who is usually driven nuts by him, I thought he was really good today.

Bennell looks pretty good and deserves to keep his spot.

Spencer should come back into the team, probably for PJ. He's done little this season and I feel Meesen deserves a few games to show what he has to offer, giving someone one game is useless.

Green is a gun, easily our best player.

Sylvia - utter rubbish. Did nothing to claim a spot he didn't deserve and has done absolutely nothing to keep it.

Bate had a pretty good game I thought, a big step up for previous weeks.

I also rate Frawley and think he could be a decent player for the club.

Jetta needs a few weeks off I think

Mclean - is he injured?

Petterd is a quality player no matter where he bobs up - which is part of the problem I think, we don't know where to play him.

Joeboy, I want to say thank you for these threads. Obviously, not all of your choices I agree with, but it is a fantastic weekly thread that sparks so much talk about our club and it's great you put your thoughts out there.

Thanks mate

Bartram - kept at task

Bate - Clumbsy early but came good in junk time

Bennell - showed some more dash and poise

Bruce - chopped the ball early but came good

Cheney - was used sparingly

Davey - uses ball well

Dunn - should have been used more

Frawley - continued good form

Green - our best player

Jetta - not ready yet

Johnson - not the PJ of 08

Jones - was ok but chop chop

Martin - was good again

McLean - the quickness of the game has left him behind

Meesen - had an opp to show something and did little to enthuse

Miller - workrate high - return low

Moloney - good 1st half

Morton - getting better

Petterd - rarley used

Rivers - was ok today

Sylvia - let us down

Warnock - was killed by Treds

Bruce missed a crucial shot when we needed to apply scoreboard pressure. A dreadful blue from a senior player. He really hurt us.

It was such a lousy miss I was surprised when he did nail one on the run late in the game.

Meesen on this thread has been let down with faint praise. His ruck work was the best by any of our blokes in the first three rounds. I was pleasantly suprised.

Also thought Bennell showed more yesterday. Bate continued to work hard although his pace is a worry.

McLean must be injured although his inside work was better yesterday.

John Meesen really showed something, I am not sure what it is but I think people here pick a player and will hate him and bag him out no matter what he does. He in one game has been our most solid ruckman for the year. As for PJ I think that he is still bothered by that ankle he had in the pre season. He is normally a very agile and very skilful player for his size and I think he is playing under duress at the moment.

And how do you see it? Was Bruce ever good? Is he worth the number that we drafted him at? Or the money we pay him now? Or the spot on our list, or on the field each game?

Please answer these questions for me definitively. Please and thank you.

I think you have prety well nailed it this week joeboy.

Green is our best player by the length of the field.

I'm still not convinced by Morton, but he has plenty of time to improve. We have bigger issues than him I guess.

THose that want pj dropped for spencer must give it some serious thought. Spencer was killed again this time in the vfl. Mcevoy and someone else had a field day on him. He is a horrible user of the ball..

I know pj is struggling but we dont have anyone else atm... He needs some confidence and i agree the vfl might do this as he did win the medal from about 11 games a few years ago.... Not sure why he doesnt have the confidence to take on the afl like that!!

This was Bruce's only fault all day besides that he was sublime, in context it was a stupid pass from Miller. Miller seems to lack confidence when shooting for goal, he wanted to pass when he went for a shot later in the game. Once he builds confidence he should improve immensely as he is a wonderful shot for goal.

I think it's important to point out that three of Tredrea's goals came when Warnock wasn't his direct opponent.

That also means that 3 goals came when he was on him, and obviously not throughout the course of the entire game if Tredrea had other opponents.

Having said that all forwards are likely to kick goals in a big win

Got back from Adelaide after watching game live at AAMI, assiume a lot of comments were from watching the game of Fox, try drinking less beers.

Only take exception with the following:

Warnock had a really good game, with the bombs raining in, Rivers got caught out on Treadrea a couple of times but he had good game as well.

Jones was outstanding as was Bruce, even had a couple of Port supporters ask me who Jones was as they were impressed.

Jetta, what is wrong with you people, he is playing just outside the square, I counted a least a couple of tackles, and he chases and chases and covers, he got a nice goal and gets his hands on the ball.

Bennell was moved forward in the last qtr after a good game in defence and showed he is going to be a good player.

Bruce was outstanding, same with Davey and Green.

I was only disappointed in Sylvia (again0 and the middle, actually got the ball but looked 'slow' , Moloney, McLean need a somebody zippy next to them, Davey tries it but can't be everywhere.

Jonhson was underwhelming

    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.
