I hope your joking. He was nothing short of horrendous.

Bit harsh...he was ok against Goddard, a fair assignment with which to prove yourself in first game of the year! Not sure he was worth 5 votes....Trengove & Chip clearly best.

3 Dunn

2 Cheney

1 Watts

Apologies: Macdonald, Green, Jones, Beamer, Chip, Garland

I just like the fact that they gave a damn, showed spirit and fought (at least or 3 quarters). Cheney alone showed more hardness than we saw for the whole game last week.

worse was Dunn's goal which he dribbled through from 40m. the choice of kick was absolute brain fade. he's just lucky it went through. unforgiveable. if someone doesn't give him a whack around the ears for that low percentage effort, we're as good as stuffed.

someone can tell him to shave that piece of **** of his upper lip too. it's a disgrace.

my votes:

6 - trengove

5 - mckenzie

4 - bruce

3 - jamar

2 - chip frawley

1 - bennell

I agree with your assessment the most GtW.

Yep, that was stupid as well. Low percentage rubbish kicks that I don't want people like Dunn, who can barely slot them from 9m directly in front taking. If you're Jurrah or Bennell, you can get away with it, if you're Dunn, then no.

Also agreed with Nasher that his brain does not cope under pressure. He makes terrible decisions, which is why he seems a lot better up forward where decision making isn't as crucial or necessary (not hard to decide between "go for goal" or "pass it on").

I know he played OK footy this season, but he has so many limitations, and for someone who doesn't fulfill a really vital role, that is not good. Bartram for example has limitations, but he does a very good job defensively and is required to play on small forwards, so you forgive some of his downfalls. But when you are a bit player with no real position, you need to have a lot of tricks up your sleeve to justify weekly selection.

Well done to Cheney on his 2010 Season debut also. Was competitive and will hold his spot one would think.

Goddard had 31 possessions and top votes in The Age FOTY. I'd hate to think what would have happened if Cheney wasn't 'competitive'.

When does Goddard NOT have 31 possessions?? :P

And, for the record, Cheney is a backman. Goddard was up forward for most of the match. How many goals did Goddard kick? Just the one...!

Cheney has that ability to not let many goals be kicked on him. He is a great spoil of the footy. He is a tough nugget and I loved his aggression. He won't find many more opponents tougher than Goddard.

He would have learnt lots from the game.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
