Brayshaw is doing his job. I saw him get a few key takeaways from centre bounces and he plays a bit more on the wing than others.

We don't need everyone racking up huge possessions, though it seems some Demonlanders would like 22 players with 30 touches each....

I'd prefer if he laid a tackle. 0 tackles is pretty poor for a midfielder.

    From a prolific ball winner to a meat and potatoes player. 

    That’s not ‘developing’.

    We need midfield depth. Trade Brayshaw and next year the depth is Jones, Sparrow or Jordon. 

    Sparrow & Jordan look likely to break into the team soon anyway both are developing nicely and both bring something a little different to our mids

    Jordan will get a game soon.  Gives us some things we are missing.

    Sparrow I fear wont play any time soon... hes an inside mid and theres simply no room for him.  I like his game though, and his time will come eventually.

    100% with jordan

    I still like the look of sparrow, good size, clean hands, hard nut mentality, reads the ball exceptionally well and foot skills arent terrible

    What does Jordan offer @DurriePirate, comparatively to others?

    Similar athleticism as J.Smith, bit of extra leap and lateral agility than most but can actually use the ball in hand.

    His disposal is VFL at best. His last piece of play contained 3 mistakes finishing with missing a 3 metre handball by 5 metres.

    Another poor game today. 9 disposals, 2 tackles. Only 65% game time. Perhaps there’s concussion or management issues? He looks unsettled, unhappy, unsure of his role and lacking confidence in everything he does.

    An absolute liability and is being carried. Cant explain his performance or hs attitude. Both stink. Must be traded at the end of the year, clubs will want him and we will get something of value. 

    Really disappointing player. 9 Disposals 2 tackles and 70 m gained.. thats not good enough.  The heat goes on Oliver and teh kid tries his guts out every week and generally plays really well. When will teh heat come for this bloke?

    Gone, Must be traded no Good if he gets selected next week something is seriously bad at MFC!

    He's gone. What's he worth? Teams like Carlton, Essendon, Saints, maybe even Swans who need an inside mid would be keen, but what's he worth?

    Unfortunately Oliver, Petracca and Viney crowd out any other midfielders because they are possession beasts. Angus has obviously been required to take another role . Being an outside mid tonight for us , you were on a hiding to nothing, because their midfield clearances negated his opportunities. MAybe a little more flexibility from our ruckman (who is terrific ) would enable us to go over their midfielders heads and bring the outside mids into play more.

    At one stage tonight the commentators remarked how difficult the role of wingman is in modern football . ( at the time he was referring to Robinson and Langford( who both came into the game later on)   If the ball is going through the other side of the ground the Wingmansrole is to cut off the switch (even by just being in position. No stats there though !! SO maybe Gus is playing a low possession role for the benefit of the team.

    He’s your hobby horse is he? [censored] canned him in game day thread (“disgrace to the jumper” was you exact [censored] poor post) and first person to jump in this thread on him. 
     

    Wasnt great but certainly not our worst. He does need to play midfield or it’s bust.

    What do you reckon cards13

    Taking a dispassionate view, he is not contributing enough when we lose, or have close finishes - plays well when we win - we need a better all round contributor in his place on the ground so need to trade him while he has value for someone that can deliver a more consistent return

    Excuses.

    He was by far our worst player tonight.

    That about sums it up for me LT.  He looked as if he was in about 2nd gear most of the night and was sooking it up coming off the ground.  His attitude is the pits and not a great look for those around him, particularly the rookies.  Time to look elsewhere while he still has a modicum of value.

    Something has to change because what is currently happening doesn't work for anyone.

    It needs to be a change to his role on-field, attitude or both, but there needs to be a change.

    Send him to Freo. He and Hogan can reunite and carry on with their off field shananigans like they were doing in Melbourne. 
     

    it’s funny ... there’s always a pattern

    You reckon he's this years Hogan or Watts mate?

    I’d trade at years end and try and get back into the first round. Be surprised if he get us that though. He’s second round at best right now.

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
