    6 - N.Jones - some brain fades but was indefatigable and prolific

    5 - Gawn - dynamic and dominant in the centre

    4 - Frost - may have come of age.. a joy to watch coming out of defence

    3 - Kent - aggressive , feisty and clever

    2 - Watts - has been better this year but performed all over the field

    1 - M.Jones - unfashionable but has improved significantly over the year

    6. N Jones - Th next person who says this bloke isn't an A grade footballer needs to uppercut themselves immediately

    5. Gawn - Star

    4. Frost - Best of the back six. Finally starting to use his size and strength along with his speed

    3. M Jones - Have to go close to his best game for the club. Didn't do a thing wrong all day that I can recall

    2. Kent - A mixed bag but the good outweighed the bad. Very laconic at times, to put it kindly

    1. Tyson - Lots of the ball, lots of tackles, lots of work rate, could've used it lots better

    Jack Viney got caught too many times trying to gat onto his left side . Good side will block him off too easy

    We continually criticise tornoveres from the defence, but ignore the midfield turnovers whic leave us even more vulnerable

    6 Gawn - Really tried to lift us and was noticeable when he was off because Watts was killed in ruck area.

    5 N.Jones - Not always clean but kept working. 

    4 Frost - Great dash from the backline. Why did we all have to wait until Round 11 for him to be played as a defender.

    3 T Mac - A couple of late kicking howlers spoiled what was a superb game - he wasn't Robinson Crusoe with the poor kicks though - hence no Vince or Viney this week.

    2 Kent - Ran his heart out pressuring and if only Dawesy had figured out he was free early in last quarter.

    1 Petracca - Great to see him really use his kicks well. He will be something - just not this year.

    Apologies: Yes I did notice Matt Jones and had him in my top four Dees at half time. He faded in second half though. His best game yet for us though and there won't be any calls from me for his omission next week. Indeed it would be hard to find anyone worthy of the axe next week. We kick well and we win away by five goals.

    Sorry I just realised I left out Tyson - who was our best player to half time. With more time he gets 3 from me and the others move down one.

    Love it when it's difficult to limit the votes to 6 and pray for the days when this is a regular occurrence

    6. N Jones -awesome captains display willed himself to win contests and was everywhere with his run on the outside 

    5. Gawny - went up against 2 ruckmen intent on jumping into him all day and a 3rd man up but won hands down and was influential around the ground 

    4. Kent - fantastic run and pressure acts all day. Used the ball really well and providing more than just dash at last

    3. Frost - clear best defender on the ground who not only dominated with muscle and size but provided plenty of dash out of the backline 

    2. Viney -just hard at it all day ran himself into the ground to get on the end of kicks and handballs to provide a link up

    1. Petracca - very clean in conditions which weren't helpful to this but his ball use was exceptional. Showed great strength and power

    Apologies to Watts Matty Jones Tyson and Stretch

    Watts and Stretch get in because every time they get the ball we get another possession.  The rest are self explanatory.  I'm surprised by the love for Kent.  Great last half but he touched it 4 times in the first half and in addition tried to mark a ball in the square that was going through. If he'd reversed his half's he wouldn't have got much recognition.

    We desperately need him to get some consistency through games because he adds so much when he's on.  He never inspires confidence with the ball and misses what many get. To me he's a very frustrating player.

    Less angry today but, yes, there's no doubt they did yesterday. We do need to take it out of the umpire's hands though.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
