    From memory he had 9 disposals and 4 frees against or something. Essentially, he stunk.

    Hardly worth judging him off that one game though, but he'd want to pull his finger out and show some interest. If he thinks he'll magically return to AA form by switching to a premiership team, he's in for a Colin Sylvia-esque surprise.

    An effective one-on-one defender but when he had a bit of time to show initiative he was too often exposed as a slow thinker.

    I watched the game down in Launceston, he was well beaten, had a really poor game, fumbles, skill errors. That said, he was without most of Hawthorn other main defenders. Looks good in the brown and gold.

    Not a massive loss to our team, he is not a game winner or game changer

    To get Angus Brayshaw for him is a massive positive for the dees.

    On the down side, Mitch Clark started poorly for the cats but worked his way into it and kicked a pair in the last quarter. Looks like he'll fit in pretty well once he gets that touch back.

    It may sound like sour grapes, but it's not...

    I can't wait for Frawley's poor skills and desicion making to be exposed in a near flawless team.

    I think he'll stand out for all the wrong reasons.

    Couldn't be happier with pick 3!

    I kind of hope the focus player movement these days, becomes more about who or what you get, rather than who you lose. You can in reality do very little about the latter. The rules are clear as to when FA and RA trigger ( albeit the AFLPA wants to lower even further) so the dilution of appropriate compensation for losses in this area would make process inequitable IMO, yet the drums beat from time to time. Organising other trades within contract is somewhat easier rests with the clubs.

    And he's just kicked three in the first quarter against Adelaide. We should have gotten better compo for him.

    9 touches, 5 marks, 3 goals and a speccy to mitch clark at half time.

    ​Onto Chip. He has gibson and lake to help him. But I think he will be more exposed down there.

    • 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?
