N.Jones - never found rhythm

Grimes - excellent all game

Salem - a schoolboy footballer

Watts - classy but flawed

Dawes - disappointingly little influence

Viney - excellent tagging game

Frawley - succumbed when pressured

Tyson - few clear possessions

Dunn - surprisingly poor disposal

Kent - probably wasn't playing

Garland - career worst game

Pederson - great first half

Vince - great second half

Nicholson - crap , as expected

Barry - had little impact

Gawn - couldn't assert himself

Howe - most effective defender

Jamar - clearly our best

Bail - couldn't justify selection

M.Jones - was he playing?

Terlich - poor before injury

Jetta - useful both ends

 

Garland is a big issue. I know he is coming back from injury but his fumbling, poor decision making and touch are costing us.

It isn't a case of we are playing one down, he is contributing to the opposition.

He is a much better player but there has to be a time when he needs to back and find touch.

Nicho - Shouldn't have played

Watts frustratingly lazy disposal

Terlich - outlived his usefulness

Kent - poor for 2weeks

Jetta - loved his effort

Barry - deserves next week

Grimes - best game yet

Viney - shut down Libba

Salem - needs Casey time

Bail - doesn't offer enough

M Jones - same as Bail

Umpires - should be ashamed

 

Think you are being a little tough on a few.

Frawley - Jones, one disposal

M Jones - Played his role

Nicho - Played within limitations

Gawn - Presented when required

Barry - Showed some glimpses

N.Jones - never found rhythm < but still accumulated 23 possessions and was into everything

Grimes - excellent all game

Salem - a schoolboy footballer

Watts - classy but flawed

Dawes - disappointingly little influence < 2 goals isn't too bad

Viney - excellent tagging game

Frawley - succumbed when pressured < but still 22 possessions

Tyson - few clear possessions < (only 19 possessions)

Dunn - surprisingly poor disposal < but still took 8 marks and had 18 disposals

Kent - probably wasn't playing <played in some good passages

Garland - career worst game < 20 possessions

Pederson - great first half

Vince - great second half

Nicholson - crap , as expected

Barry - had little impact < what do you expect in 5 game time minutes?

Gawn - couldn't assert himself < but still took 5 marks and scored

Howe - most effective defender

Jamar - clearly our best

Bail - couldn't justify selection < 14 possessions and lifted in the second half

M.Jones - was he playing? < 16 possessions and played a good game (watch the replay)

Terlich - poor before injury

Jetta - useful both ends

Possessions mean absolutely nothing when you continue to butcher it constantly like Garland and Bail did today.

SEN commentators gave Frawley the 3 votes? I didn't see the game and only listened to the last half but all agreed Chip was the most influential player.

That's because so many on here are letting his contractual situation completely colour their views regarding his play. Having said that he did make some mistakes and I didn't think he should have got the 3 votes.

Agreed. Although there is no way he was top 3 today in any way shape or form. A few of his clangers were so so costly i'm still sore from them, definitely wasn't the only one who wasn't clean with the footy today though.

Jamar:

Palmed to Footscray.

I thought Russian had a pretty handy game but you're right. There were a couple where he beat Minson & then palmed the ball straight to him. Why would you bother ?


M.Jones - was he playing? < 16 possessions and played a good game (watch the replay)

Hahaha.

M. Jones played a good game?

M. Jones? Watch the replay?

Your post is great because of you know, obviously terrible today.

I was at the game and I had Frawley clearly BOG. Liam Jones had 1 possession and was subbed off at 3/4 time. He absolutely dominated them in the defensive 50. As good as he's been presenting as a lead-up forward his real position if Full Back and he showed today that he is still AA quality.

You can't give BOG to a guy who regularly butchers the ball and somehow turns our advantage to a 50/50 with horrible execution.

Liam Jones is cold, cold, cold, hot, cold anyway; so keeping Jones quiet has been simple for most of the year.

For Frawley's sake, I hope he has his suitors conned as well as 70% of us MFC supporters. He is fool's gold.

Thats the same Jones who was the probably the reason the Dogs got over the line against Collingwood 2 weeks ago ?

And as for turning advantage into 50/50's - as opposed to a lot of what I saw yesterday - where we turned advantage into disadvantage.

He wasn't in my opinion BOG but we have a lot more footballers that I am scratching my head over other than Frawley.

  • 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?
