    Bit of a weird one tonight.

    Stretch had 17 touches, not sure how he couldn't find the ball.

    Jones had 29 touches, so I wouldn't have said he was 'quiet'.  Wasn't one of his better games but he still had an influence.

    And Harmes couldn't get near it all night, and made some poor turnovers as well.

    I also thought Pedersen was better than 'limited'.

    The rest, however, are spot on.  Hogan is desperately out of form, Viney had a bit of a shocker, and while I loved Kent's game he still made 7 clangers.

    Joeboy, are serious about Harmes????

    Harmes = error after error

    Harmes is tough and relentless, but you are right he is becoming a turnover specialist.

    His kick out on the full, from a mark at the start of the 3rd quarter, started the Port comeback, with his direct opponent marking and goaling from the free kick. 

    I am starting to think he should only play forward, where he can apply pressure, kick an occasional goal and not kill you with his poor disposal.

    Salem, Melksham and maybe Hibberd will improve the back flank.

    Maybe Harmes can improve his disposal in the off season, as it is a major problem in his game ATM.

    I think Stretch is going to be a very good outside mid for us. He always makes the right decision, has pace and good disposal.

    Jones was in there all night, just some of his disposal was off.

    Hogan IMO was our worst player. His miss from about 20 was critical at the time and he seems devoid of confidence. His few possessions up the ground, took so long to give off, our forward line was flooded. This is a bad part of his game, he needs to work on. Wasn't limping and seemed fit enough. Has hardly kicked a goal in his last few games. Hopefully has a cracker against the Blues.

    Viney had a hard tag and was the subject of several assaults, without even a free kick.

    Seems Hogan is in a bit of a slump. Hopefully he can pull himself out of it. Mind you, I thought Port's big defenders did a pretty good job. Watts is in cracking form and didn't get a lot of clear opportunities (apart from that one in the last qtr). 

    You'd think Hoges and Watts will kick 7-8 between them next week.

    Some here really overreact about our young players, and put errors under the microscope. When Oscar started, he could do nothing right. "SACK HIM!" "BACK TO CASEY!" "HE'S NOT READY!". Now one our better defenders.

    Harmes had a solid game. Worked hard, won some nice ball, made some mistakes. It happens.

    Swap Buggs comment with Garlett and it'll be close

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
