    6 Viney. He was in the kitchen all night. Great contested footy. Tackles. Clearances.  Hit targets. Great goal in the last.  Definitely our best. Huge heart. 

     

    5 Oliver.  If only he had Pendlebury style disposal.  He’s a beast. Contested footy and tackling were A grade. A few clangers definitely let us down. Work needed but his effort was huge. 

    4 May. Stopped any influence from Hipwood. Continues to be our defensive General. 

    3 Langdon. Good run and carry. Hit targets.  
    I think they could use him more.  

    2 Salem. Steady. Hit targets. A good link through midfield. 

    1 Gawn  Not a big influence but his second effort was good. Needs protection from umps and teammates. Lions were physical on him all night. 
     

    apologies -
    Lever was good again.  Now in form and key part of defence.  Lockhart has a good game. Solid. Trac was okay but was perhaps expecting more. Maybe a vote.
    Melksham can at least kick straight unlike a few others (Weideman!!!! ).

    Gawn was definitely in our best 6 tonight.  Position by position he was the only midfielder who wasn't beaten by his Brisbane counterpart over the entirety of the game.  Neale, Lyons, Zorko, McLuggage pretty much had their way tonight. Whilst it wasn't one of Max's stellar performances he was very good again.  Viney's effort was outstanding after half time and Oliver had his moments as well, despite some less than average disposal early. Tracc played just a game by his now lofty standards, just the one mark and no score. But as a group they lowered their colours.  I'll be really interested in the coaches view of this one.  I reckon a defender or two might pop up.

    The reality is our midfield was well beaten.  Brisbane read the ball better of the ruck, out-pressured us, were cleaner than us, and moved faster than us.

    Our midfielders shouldn't be figuring heavily in the votes, but as individuals you can justify they had a good game (which if you think about, is probably part of the problem).  I found it hard to leave them out as well.

    The Lions also played the umpires better than us, with 10 meter kicks and grabbing/tackling players before possession of the ball.

    Petracca 7 Viney 4 in coaches votes. 
     

    Clearly Viney was our best. Daylight. Tough. 460 metres gained. Numerous 1%s. Great goal in the last qtr. 
     

    Petracca was good but not dominant and didn’t punish with his disposals.

    • 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.
