Uncontested Possession getters in double figures: Grimes 19, Michie 14, Watts 13, Stretch 11, Cross 11, Dunn 11, Salem 10, McDonald 10.

Now the backs are going to get a few uncontested touches switching play - which is important but I will concede that is not 'hard work' to do that. Every other UP is hard running. Well done to the boys above - especially Michie, Watts and Stretch, who would have got less of those switches than the others.

Jones 8, Vince 7, and Viney 6.

Now this is where I get into a less congratulatory tone... We only had around 170 UPs - that is a very lazy performance from a team that has worked hard to push the average up to nearly 200.

Against the Pies a month ago we had 237 UPs and the three above had 49 of them between them with Vince getting 24. 12 players were in double figures that day (in order: Vince, Grimes, Jones, Garland, ANB, Watts, Cross, Hogan, Vanders, Viney, Tyson, and Howe).

As we know - our best players need to lift, they are letting their mates down. I hate to be emotive about this but there are playing a couple of blokes out of contracts. That's how footy works.

I thought my top 5 had reasonably solid 4 quarter games in a dismal team performance. It says a lot about the team when my next best was comprehensively thrashed in the first half, only to lift a bit in the second.

6. McDonald

5. Watts

4. Grimes

3. Stretch

2. Michie

1. Gawn (lifted his game and maybe broke even in the second half.)

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
