Jones - better on ball

T.McDonald - had a presence

Melksham - a limited impact 

Fritsch - versatile and smart

Lewis - steady all game

Garlett - just some cameos

Kennedy-Harris - justified his place

Neal-Bullen - run and pressure

Hogan - very little involvement 

Harmes - wonderful tagging game

Petracca - continued improved involvement 

Tyson - had a go

Brayshaw - becoming a gun

Frost - confident and important 

Gawn - set the tone

Jetta - was rarely sighted

O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required

Oliver - a class above

Salem - important but iffy

Smith - some important touches

Spargo - tried but overwhelmed 

Vince - just a game

 

Joeboy your assessment of Melksham, Fritsch and Garlett makes me wonder if I saw the same game at all.

Melksham and Garlett were amazing at times while Fritta was ordinary for the second week in a row. Maybe carrying an injury.

 

Tyson : had a go

That is Joeboyspeak for BOG ????


Jetta rarely sighted??

Have to strongly disagree on that one.

Frost: very costly throw

Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.

I think this is pretty spot on. Melksham stiff though.

Frost - pluses outweigh minuses

Lewis - Good for once

OMac - Pants Jelly Jenkins

Tex - Saw Frosty’s dust

Melb - Monkey off back

Spargo - Let tackles slip

Brayshaw - elusive and elite

Oliver - nothing to add

Hogan - Trade in October

i'm not even gonna bite on the hogan thing. i hate his work ethic and he backed out of a lot of physical contests tonight when he needed to go hard.

Jones - missed captains goal

T.McDonald - accurate goal kicking

Melksham - costly banana miss 

Fritsch - love his versatility 

Lewis - handy early goals

Garlett - stop bloody fumbling

Kennedy-Harris - liked him back

Neal-Bullen - orgasm after goal

Hogan - almost embarassing presence 

Harmes - effort effort effort

Petracca - gradually getting better  

Tyson - didn't get pinged

Brayshaw - australia's fav dreamteamer

Frost - costly threw footy

Gawn - basically just hitouts

Jetta - smartly rushed behind

O.McDonald - anti-clutch set shot

Oliver - some crafty gathers

Salem - costly kicking decisions

Smith - just a game

Spargo - several missed tackles

Vince - smart sideways kick


Frost- deserves more love

Come on guys. Frosty isn't in many best 22 conversations, yet here he is getting the job done for us in our 22. Makes some mistakes, but overall has been a huge positive down back. His run and carry is a bonus given none of his direct opponents will ever catch him.

He is actually pretty exciting to watch when he is up.

All players make mistakes, earning his spot imo.

Jesse, was ill during the week, plus he copped a knee in the back last week.

no excuse. he was good enough to play and he was shocking before any knocks. a very polarising player, some love him but his work ethic is poor and he is soft for a big guy. needs to lift

Fritsch only had 8 disposals, which surprised me. I’d say every one of them was important, because I thought he was pretty good on the night.

Melksham was much better than joyboy gives credit for this week.

melksham was good. i just wished he kicked that snap in the last qtr coz i knew it was gonna come down to the wire 

Clayton Oliver - Machine, Robot,  incredible.

Clarry is in a level of his own.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
