I've moved on from yesterday!  We didn't go all the way but we had some very fine performances over the three weks. 

Interested in who people think was our Mr September (across all three games).

My votes are (in Brownlow style):

  • 3   J. Viney
  • 2   N Jetta
  • 1  J Harmes

They were the most consistent - each had an exceptional game in at least one of the earlier finals and were the most likely to drag us out of the quagmire yesterday.  (Apologies to Weideman and T Mcdonald).

James Harmes for me.  Not only was he able to curb some of the best players in the game, but he also found his own footy and was damaging when going the other way.  He has turned into a very important part of our side and his improvement has been a joy to watch.

Jack Viney a very close second.

Oliver by a mile. 3 excellent games from the kid who was great from day 1 of the finals despite close atention. Agressive and gave as good as he got . Hugely advanced his reputation and no stage fright for one so young. Yesterday he was our best.

My main criticism of Viney, gets it tries to break every tackle under the sun... Loses it and..

 

3. Viney

2. Chomp

1. Vandenberg

Harmes for me. Teams are going to focus on him a lot more next year. So hopefully he can deal with it.

Viney second.

Neville the Jetta 3rd

Harmes in my opinion. Very good in all three games.

Joint for Harmes & Viney for me, everyone lowered their colours in the West Coast game.

I would have said TMac before the game but he was a strong contender for WOG yesterday. 

Definitely Viney for me though. 

Pretty harsh on Tmac. Spent most of the prelim in the backline plugging holes and rucking. 

3 Harmes

2 Viney

1 Jetta

I’d argue Mr September is a player that rises above their season form.

Viney and Oliver both incredible, but no more so than typical. Harmes and Brayshaw emerged in season. Trac is the player we all hope for.

1. Hibberd. Found the desperation.

2. Weid. The big surprise.

3. TMAC. First to stand tall.

He is very overrated on this site. 

Harmes

Oliver

Jetta

On reflection and based only on the first two finals it was probably Weideman.

As No 10 says above my view of a Mr September is someone who goes to that next level.

I was hoping it would be Petracca who while having an okay first few finals didn't have that stellar lift in form.

Sidebottom at Collingwood and Martin last year are perfect examples of the elusive Mr September

  • 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?
