    I thought Strauss was really good today. I don't think I saw him beaten 1-1, which is a big improvement, and he butchered 1 kick for the day. Also got a lot of the ball. Watts drops behind him because he butchered quite a few kicks trying to be more creative than he needed to. Sylvia obviously was our only attacking threat. Morton smashed Shaw for most of the match and gave us run out of the back half. Howe and Gawn both gave us something, Howe constantly presenting and once again taking good marks, and Gawn holding up the ruck when we were being thrashed everywhere else.

    5. Morton - better game, still has to work on defensive side of game but getting there.

    4. Watts - Effort and gut running, which is slowly getting rewarded, should of had a crack when he was 50 out on the puntroad foward flank, game was over, had a chance to show what he has got, instead missed a chip pass to leading target.

    3. Scully - 29 touches, are touches none the less

    2. Bennell - did solid job on krakour, krak got some cheap ones late

    1. Gawn - Competed well, did a couple of good 2nd efforts on the ground, 23 hitouts, a solid game

    Jones would get a vote for effort but he killed us with some really poor decision-making which halted our momentum on a number of occasions.

    6 Sylvia - Practically kicked our entire score

    5 Morton - Beat Shaw who I rate unbelievably highly. His hardness is something he has to work on, but he played well today.

    4 Watts - Kicking is brilliant verging on shocking - but that's usually not his fault.

    3 Moloney - One of the only men in a team full of boys.

    2 Howe - Lively forward and a hard worker (unlike some of our other lively forwards).

    1 McKenzie - Effort personified.

    Our young midfield let us down badly today. Don't blame Rivers for balls being put to Cloke's advantage time after time.

    Just arrived home, tired, cranky and fairly emotional.

    6. Sylvia

    5. Moloney (thought he was the only player in the midfield to show any resistance at all, put his body on the line, and make reasonably sound decisions under immense pressure.)

    4. Frawley (for his job on Cloke after he tore Rivers a new one.)

    After those three, i'm having real difficulty... Ummm...

    3. Howe

    2. Gawn

    1. Scully

    The last 3 are "encouragement votes". Scully in particular, his disposal was atrocious and he was uncharacteristically fumbly with his ball-handling.

    Morton did a job on Shaw, but there was a couple of instances, one Leigh Brown mark in particular, where he had to go and just didn't. Not good enough. Hate to take potshots at Jonesy, but god he was ordinary with his decision-making today. Even the kid next to me (wouldn't have been much older than 12) commented on it, he was shuddering everytime Jones went near it.

    I walked away from the game with only 2 players who I thought could claim they did their role. Sylvia and Morton

    The other four were honest. I thought Martin and Watts could be added to that list. However Watts faded as the game went on.

    Bennell had 6 disposals and a couple of tackles. His opponent Krakouer had 15 touches, kicked a couple and set a few others up.

    Can someone please explain why he (Bennell) is receiving votes here?

    Because of Krakouer's touches, only maybe 5 did anything and Bennell shut Krakouer out of all bar maybe one (that I saw, I know he kicked one at the end that I missed) one-on-one. Body-to-body and leg-speed wise, Bennell was fantastic.

    As well as this, Bennell stayed as the small back while Krakouer shifted through the midfield for a time.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
