MFC & Casey Inside Football player ratings & comments for Round 6

Melbourne v Sydney, Round 6, MCG

7 - Tom McDonald - Super duel with Franklin. Held him goalless but both players had an impact

7 - Christian Salem - Best game so far running off half back. A few errors but impressive night

6 - Jesse Hogan - Despite poor supply continued to work hard to find the footy

6 - Daniel Cross - Tried hard and gave 100% at the contests but wasnt a big factor

5 - Jeff Garlett - A spectator in first half then came alive after main break

5 - Dom Tyson - Hasnt been able to break free this season and was well held again

5 - Nathan Jones - Wasnt able to generate his normal drive from the middle

5 - Aaron vandenBerg - Tore in and used frame to advantage but couldnt swing momentum

5 - Bernie Vince - Tried to latch onto a few different Swans with moderate success

5 - Heritier Lumumba - Battled on but wasnt able to get his typical running game going

5 - Ben Newton - Kicking was unusually off at times but at least got into the game

5 - Billy Stretch - Goalled with first kick in league footy and didnt look out of place

4 - Angus Brayshaw - Quietest game at senior level so far. Couldnt get into it

4 - Lynden Dunn - Tippett got him early with three goals but continued to fight hard

4 - Colin Garland - Rough night on a few different opponents. Lacked confidence

4 - Jeremy Howe - Just padding at the moment down back. A move forward might re-ignite him

4 - Cameron Pedersen - Backed up Spencer in ruck but wasnt much of a factor in attack

4 - Jimmy Toumpas - Got a bit of the ball but lacked incisiveness. Ability to cover ground a worry

3 - Chris Dawes - Unsighted until final term when he started to get his hands on ball

3 - Jake Spencer - Made Pyke look like Dean Cox at times. This level appears beyond him

2 - Jay Kennedy-Harris - Dropped a sitter in opening minute and didnt recover

2 - Jack Watts - Sub. At least was clean with ball when he came on

Casey v Sandringham, Round 4, Casey Fields

Max Gawn - Combined with Jamar to dominate hitouts. Took some good marks

Jack Grimes - 31 possessions and a goal into the wind. Battled hard

Mark Jamar - Won the ruck battle but wasnt a standout performer

Viv Michie - One of the Scorpions most consistent performers. 25 touches

Matt Jones - Huge first three quarters then cooled late. 31 possessions

Jordie McKenzie - 20 hard-fought touches in loss to Sandringham

Aiden Reilly - Battled hard but lacked class on a windy day

Dean Terlich - Had trouble tracking Saad who was one of Sandys best

Jack Fitzpatrick - Struggled in defence to cope with Mitch Browns movement

Oscar McDonald - Kicked a late goal after a good mark. Showed a bit

Alex Neal-Bullen - Used ball well when he got it and showed a bit

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
