1. The umpires, for being brave enough to stay out there despite being a total embarrassment to the notions of consistency and logic.

 

I don't get how you can give Jones 6 votes when he continuously turned it over and cost us dearly. Plus his tackling sucks.

6- Martin

5- Frawley (the most perfect kicking game I've seen in a while)

4- Davey

3- Jetta (underrated for his hardness)

2- Jurrah

1- Maric

At one stage Jones got the ball at a clearance in the centre and had the pack to his left and clear air to his right; now being a right footer you would expect him to head off and bang the ball in to the 50mtr arc, but not our Nathan he just turned back in to the pack and was collared.

How many times will he continue to do this, when will the coach says enough is enough. He seems to think he's playing U18's where he was probably the toughest kid on the park and could break any tackle. Well guess what Nathan; you're not and you can't.

6 - Frawley: back to his best.

5 - Sylvia: would be close to AA if he had a bit more support. Playing really well IMO.

4 - Newton: Unbelievable first quarter. Average after that but tried hard.

3 - Martin: beaten, but couldn't have given much more than what he did. Encouraging.

2 - Watts: decision making is first class, what position will he end up though?

1 - Warnock: "Encouragement Award". i.e. not a convincing performance, but was solid enough.

I like Matty Warnock and he gives his all but he simply just isn't up to it. I have never seen a player panic so much when put under pressure and a couple of his disposals yesterday were so bad I reckon I would have done better. With him and Joel Mac we have two of the biggest "panickers" in the AFL.

Why is it that Melbourne players never seem to take the first option coming out of defence and continually hold up the ball until there are no options left or they are caught in possesson?

Maybe the backline coach?


6 - Martin (had a crack, thought some of his follow up work around the clearances was great)

5 - Frawley (took them on, set up some good plays)

4 - Sylvia (was the link man on a number of occasions)

3 - Maric (kicked 3 good crumbing goals, something no one else could do)

2 - Warnock (for his job on Petrie)

1 - Watts (got into good positions)

6: Frawley, At least he will give us something worth watching this season, not unlike Robbie F did for over a decade.

5: Martin

4: Sylvia

2: Warnock

I also liked the way Newton played, he tried and tried against massive odds!

I know I'm late, but here goes anyway:

6. Frawley

5. Martin (even though his opponent was possibly BOG)

4. Sylvia

2. Davey

1. Watts

It's interesting reading the divergent views on this thread and the Ins and Outs threads, particularly with Jetta and Gysberts. Not much divergence on views about Dunn, though. Should have a line put through his name for the rest of the year.

I don't get the Martin worship. I thought he put up a good effort and was one of the few players who put in a second effort, but how many times did he ignore any option and bomb it to a) nowhere or B) the opposition

Edit - I dont know how to get rid of the demon with the [censored] - it's supposed to be b as in a or b.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
