Really really impressed with Stretch. Has been good the last month but really took it to another level today. Loved him on the wing, and is a lot stronger than his frame suggests.

Good kick, good speed, nice hands. A big fan. Definitely didn't think we'll see much of him this year, and have been pleasantly surprise. A nice F/S pick up!

 

I think we also need a top six votes for the 22 supporters who attended today.

 

6: Gawn, dominated hit outs and was the difference imo

5: Hogan, need I say more?

4: Viney, need I say more, again?

3: Bernie

2: Chunk

1: Salem

6 - Jones ( defied suggestions of injury to return to inspiring best )

5 - Viney ( tough, uncompromising and took right options today )

4 - Salem ( smooth as silk and classy disposal )

3 - Gawn ( dominated the centre bounces as he should )

2 - Hogan ( gave the team confidence with his ruthless attack on the ball )

1 - Harmes ( took some great marks and showed class)

Apologies to T.McDonald and to Brayshaw for a great second half


6 - Viney - I say this because he was the catalyst at the start of the game

5 - Vince - Just class

4 - Jones - Just grunt

3 - Hogan - Should have had 6

2 - Harmes - Really loved his game.

1 - Salem - we missed him.

and hon mention to Dunn who gave the ump a good love tap on the behind.

Can't believe so few votes for Hogan. More than anyone else, he was the difference. Just having him there as a target changes how the mids play, and how the ball comes into the forward line.

You should have ranked him above the three mids!

I didn't attend the game and only watched the replay last night, so I will not cast votes. However, I am surprised that Howe hasn't scored a vote as yet. Thought he played a good game but, admittedly, there are a few you could raffle for the last one or two in a given selection of six.

I gather you don't think Hogan has a future.

He is in the overall top 6 players

He isn't a future star, he's a present star.

Unlucky: Salem, Cross & Harmes

At least 10 players worthy of votes compared to 3-4 of previous three weeks.

6 Gawn - yes I know he was rucking against a no-name kid, but how good was his service. We were spanked in middle last time in Rd 2. Not this time.

5 Viney - every week i enjoy reading the pressure acts column and he's way above everyone else. In the third term when we won it, he was everywhere.

4 T.Mac - Almost back to his early season best. Beat Cameron and still provided run from defence.

3 Jones - How good was his kicking. I can't believe the tossers that question this area. He's the best pass in the side.

2 Salem - As I've said for some time now - we need his left foot down back. The most crucial player in team aside from Gawn and Hogan. At least now we have another option in White.

1 Hogan - He was on from the start and seemed to love all the Inside 50m entries that happen when you are playing a glorified exhibition game.

Why no Vince and Cross.

Vince - He was very good but his direct opponent Ward was clearly the best GWS player.

Cross - Even he can't remember anything he did!

  • 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?
