Juk3b0x - great 37th post

Thanks @binman ? Have gone for quality over quantity over the years... particularly enjoy Joeboy’s contribution each game day, and I was irked!

Just to stay on topic:

Brayshaw - Barbieonions the ball butcher

 

GAWN    the match winner

Petrac     another match winner

Oliver       Yet another star

Weid         Form of 2018

Fritta         finally coming good

Oscar        you belong here

Hibberd     proving doubters wrong

Picket        coming along well

Bennell      clean and cool

Hannan      will get better

Jackson     is our future

Langdon     great pick up

REST OF TEAM    all played part.

 

 

Joeboy - serotonin levels up

Gawn - lion hearted performance

Viney - beast is back

Petracca -  infinity and beyond

Jetta - experience plus composure

May - attacking defensive mentality

McDonald - Oscar for Oscar

Salem - lose Hollywood tinsel

Hibberd - less run today

Melksham - leather poisoning unlikely

Fritsch - better off leash

Jackson -  some terrific involvements

Pickett - creative pocket dynamo

Bennell - classy forward contributions

VandenBerg - physicality on show

Brayshaw - simmering off boil

Oliver - just add polish

Hannan -  set ball rolling

Weideman- stamped his presence

Harmes - synchronicity off kilter

Langdon - ever ready energiser

Lever -  clever football IQ

Lockhart - must be 1%'s

Goodwin - praiseworthy coaching performance

MFC -  made footy combative

Umpires - some possession clangers

 

 

Team - played their role

Finally the selection carousel is coming around to perhaps the best balanced group to play a high level attacking game plan. Let it settle and develop for a few weeks.


As others have said I think Brayshaw showed glimpses this week. He took risks which in the main did not come off but they will.

I'm not sold on AVB but he got a pass from me today.

Gawn - Dominated the game

Viney - Great with ball

Petracca - Remember the name

Jetta - Getting better still 

May - Best game yet

McDonald - Great with Lever 

Salem - Attitude was great

Hibberd - Recapturing his form 

Melksham - Sprinkle of class

Fritsch - Very consistent form

Jackson - Seemed to belong 

Pickett - Has it all 

Bennell - Classy with ball

vandenBerg - Tough and smart 

Brayshaw - Needs to lift 

Oliver - Good not great

Hannan - Made a difference 

Weideman - Best game yet

Harmes - Needs to lift

Langdon - Speed is crucial

Lockhart - Is getting better

Lever - Composure, leadership and smarts

Easy to see favourites here. Kozzy versus Melksham.  Too much praise for the first - yes, he's exciting to  watch and he kicked two goals. But only 6 disposals at 66% efficiency. He's got talent all right and one day he might rival Farmer. But not now. 

Not enough recognition of the latter. Melksham played his role. Nine disposals at 88% efficiency and five marks and a goal. 

Credit where it's due.

 

A very nice win yesterday,      No Changes, keep it settled,   All played their role, some previously seen as out of form, getting back to better games.  Damm nice to win well over the Hawks...

  • 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?
