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.

6. Sylvia

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

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.

Players who were best of the rest

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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
