Came on as substitute in the final quarter of the opening round and starred but had a quiet patch and spent some time in the VFL before returning to play some productive football.

 

Still has plenty of room for improvement.

    I hope that Ricky is one of the players who Neeld can get under the skin of. When on fire he is absolutely fantastic. His record tackling game this year was the perfect example of what he is capable of, and his goalkicking and marking against the Filth in the 1 point loss last year was another fantastic effort. Needs to get some consistency in these results, but is an extremely capable player. Look forward to seeing more from him.

    Was competing with his locker room neighbour for a spot in the side this year. Started the year behind and finished with a comprehensive victory in that battle - thank God.

    Still got lots of room for improvement, but there's a lot to like. The one handed marks annoy me; it's just asking for trouble. Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy with his development trajectory so far.

    Going along pretty well, but hopefully MN will emphasize that pretty good is not nearly enough any more.

    It will bring out the best in some, and others who are not up to it may wilt and fall by the wayside - hopefully Ricky will be one of the former. (correction - I really hope they all will).

    Ricky's best was very good in 2011, but his worst was poor. Unfortunately the poor out-numbered the good. I thought some of his efforts were bordering on lazy this year, and I have little doubt that this is why he earned some 'holidays' at Casey. He has the potential to be a very hard-to-match-up-on, goal-kicking forward, with defensive skills that are well suited to the modern game. Like other posters, I hope the new coaching staff can get the best out of him on a consistent basis, assuming that is, that Ricky wants to get the best out of himself.

    Ricky was inspired until his injury last year. In comparison he was poor this year, like our team.

    • 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?

      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?
