    78.9% in disposal efficiency
    4th in disposals
    3rd in meters gained
    3rd in tackles

    You must have really high standards for him, I thought he played well and gave him a couple votes

    I have Salem in for 1 vote. He showed a lot more endeavour and his kicks went forward and not sideways and short.  I don’t rate disposals efficiency for him sometimes because of the short sideways chip kicks but he was much better on Saturday night. His goal late in the 3rd quarter was crucial and brought us back into the game.  A step forward.

    A lot of people giving votes to Salem, it was one of his worst games for a while apart from his goal.

    I was amazed to see the Herald Sun opinion that Pickett was best on ground, a decision not shared by anyone here.

    yeah he is not a favourite of many around here. 

    he has contributed a lot more than Melksham and others above him, but admittedly no stand out games

    Don't quite know about best on, but Kosie did get our team high for score involvements apparently (don't know if that includes his two fairly ordanary misses?).  I do recall him being pretty good in that passage where he did the old one/two handball through the centre of the ground, but don't explicitly recall any others.  Perhaps he is the kind of player who can't be judged on possession numbers alone, but I think he's still a fair way off ripping open games on his own.  You can see the potential, but I'm finding watching him a bit of a frustrating tease at times.

    Agree.  But I think it reflects that he's been good most games, but not great in many.

    I did think he was quite good around the ground generally against the Giants and did kick a timely goal for us under pressure in the second half.

    However, while it's true he's our leading goal kicker,  he's  also kicked more behinds than goals, which for a specialist forward isn't great and I suspect people mark him down for that.

    • 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.
