Jones - disposal was iffy

Viney - great second half

Jetta - had little involvement 

O.McDonald - was rarely troubled

Smith - little to excite

Lewis - fumbled too often

Frost - impressive and steady 

Salem - kicking was sublime

Stretch - improved with confidence 

Oliver - 4 impressive quarters 

Gawn - dominated the centre

Fritch - is looking tired

Melksham - was hardly sighted

T. McDonald - provided a target

Spargo - did little well

Hogan - team focused game

Neal-Bullen - effective tagging game

Garlett - on shaky ground

Hibberd - reliable and effective 

Brayshaw - classy and prolific 

Harmes - continued impressive patch

Petracca - more impressive output

 

I'm loving the Salem attention at the moment. His skill in this 22 is massive.

 

Fritsch looking tired?  What game were you watching joeboy?  The bloke had 25 touches and got better as the game wore on.  

Who was ANB tagging by the way?  

Generally agree with the rest, but the Fritsch one is a shocker.

I hope Stretch gets a game next week?

Fritschy was good tonight.

Why wouldn't he? i thought he showed good composure, busted tackles, laid tackle, adds much needed speed why would he get dropped?

 

Fritsch looking tired?

He was clearly a top 5 player and was gliding for mine.

Think ANB was tagging himself - and it worked.


Lewis - 50m penalty was undisciplined and tendency to avoid picking up the hardball looking to soccer it / disposal wasnt as effective perhaps the humidity / not his best

MFC - small forward problems

Garlett did a bit, but not enough. Spargo was similar. We are in desperate need of a solution when the ball is brought to ground inside our forward 50. Melksham and Nibbler are also cooling off meaning we are very Hogan and Tmac reliant for kicking a winning score 

I don't have the answer, but this might be something to address in the draft.

He was tagging the standard of the game and it worked.   But unlikely he was shutting down a specific opponent.  He started on the bench and in the first 15 minutes he can be seen chasing after Sheridan, Hamling, Ryan and Wilson at various points.

Well he has been in the past.

Drop him for Baker. Give him a kick in the ass for a better end to the year!

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
