    Nicholson unlucky but he turned it over a bit too much for my liking.that said. All of my three lower votes turned it over too much also. Jones was a bit quiet today but perhaps my expectation has increased to too high a level.

    Jamar going down really affected our forward structure with Martin having to spend the day on the ball. Midfield was good until the last 15 minutes but lack of rotations and we just ran out of legs, first time in a while against a side that is not expansion that it's hard to pick

    Couch and Tom Mac unlucky

    6 Martin, just for effort alone. Kicked goals early, then rucked the rest of the game as best he could.

    5 McKenzie, who is a tackle machine and actually disposed of the ball relatively well today

    4 Sylvia, who looked like he'd absolutely break the game apart early in the first.

    3 Green, who provided a real target forward, which is something we've really lacked with all our injuries. It's a shame he's not taller, because he really knows how to play forward.

    2 Tom Macdonald, who looks to be a ten-year key backman for us

    1 Blease, who looks like fitness is the only thing keeping him from being an absolute four-quarter jet for us.

    Honourable mention to Grimes for his toughness. If only he had better foot disposal.

    Wow. That's generous. Didn't really think Grimes did anything special today and he turned it over far, far too many times.

    6. Martin - Showed again that he can lift a notch when given the number one ruck responsibilities. Also showed a bit up forward before Jamar went off. A definite 'keeper'

    5. McDonald - Carried on from where he left off before his lung injury. If he continues to develop the way he is going, he could be amongst the best CHBs in the competition in a couple of years.

    4. Jones - From where I was watching (in my lounge chair 600+ kms away) it looked like he was heavily tagged. Was still a strong performance, and the prospect of him having a bit of mid-field class around him in a couple of years time is mouth watering.

    3. Sylvia - Starting to show some of the consistency we've been waiting for. Keep it up Col.

    2. Bail - Worked hard as usual, and ball use was generally much better today. Maybe a holiday next week compliments of the MRP?

    1. Trengove - His best game for the year

    The above for me please (except 2 votes to Tom McDonald)!

    Super effort from Martin with no back up available!

    1. Sylvia (decision making is so very ordinary)

    Apologies to McKenzie and Nicholson.

    Blease needs more than 6 kicks and 2 h/balls to get a gong. Jones disappeared in 2nd half. Howe needs to lift intensity; he's not playing bush footy now.

    6- McKenzie- really tough and generally good disposal

    5- Martin- kicked a couple early and looked promising then had the burden of all the rucking on him- but did a good job- possibly best game of his career?

    4- Rivers- Didn't kick a goal in the forward line, didn't have much of the footy but really contributed well

    3- Sylvia- Heaps of clearances and movement but did go missing at times

    2- Green- Looked like a dangerous forward target, I think he's still a necessity in our side

    1- Blease- Two great goals, especially the second one. Never seems to get much of the ball but he's so dangerous

    A host of others also were goodish, pretty even spread among the side

    • 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?
