Gawn - continued his dominanceĀ 

Oliver - slow then prolific

Langdon - never stopped running

Sparrow - tough and reliableĀ 

Bowey - wonderful second half

Brayshaw - some important interceptionsĀ 

Rivers - solid and smart

Neal- Bullen - better second half

May - gotta love him

Petracca - not as dominantĀ 

Harmes - some useful involvementĀ 

Dunstan - important tagging success

Petty - tight and reliableĀ 

Jordan - a quiet achiever

Fritsch - ten minute game

Spargo - possessions were importantĀ 

Hunt - a steady presenceĀ 

Jackson - just a game

Brown - needed the run

Weideman - lucky number three

Pickett - did just enough

Smith - courageous but iffy

A few errant handballs cost goals, Ā #44 wasn’t home alone there. Numero uno coughed up one too. The Goodwin mantra of not dwelling on mistakes applies. Reset and push go.

 

I hate to be a negative Nelly but it's hard to give positive overall reviews without mention the poor kicking for goal, especially the ones from Spargo, ANB, Pickett, Gawn, Harmes and Langdon.Ā

Gee wiz... !! You reckon ?Ā  ( agree mate by the way )

Ā 

Gawn - effective

Oliver - GOAT

Langdon - continued his dominance

Sparrow - amazing. Just amazing

Bowey - no surprise, experienced 200 gamer

Brayshaw - one of his best games this year,

proper player.

Rivers - on the up.

Neal Bullen - Sh*t when mattered. Really really poor game.

May - no words really, heading into his own category as a back man. Heading into GOAT territory.

Petracca - Shocking effort.Ā 

Harmes -typical Harmes. Loves the heat and fades out once the jobs done. Pressure and checks out once games over. BarometerĀ 

Dunstan - Got better. I’d persist with him because he failed to handle the pressure that comes with being a Dee, but adapted, pretty rare to see that within the space of 2 quarters. This guy will improve us. But needs to be better than tonight. Needs to be shown tapes of Toby Bedford and bring that to every contest.

Petty - Most promising back in league. Underrated. Good early when mattered.

Jordan - OK.Ā 

Fritsch - always good.Ā 
Ā 

Spargo - Good.

Hunt - below average when it mattered.

Jackson - See Petracca

Brown - see Jackson

Weideman - perfect. Love the intent. Stats smatts. Great game. Keep doing what you’re doing. So confident in this kid. My type of guy.

Pickett - see above. Cannot speak any higher. Really had a crack early when blokes were 100 at contests.Ā 
Ā 

Smith - needs to clean up things a bit but obvious an improving player. See why Gawn likes him, Smith clunks marks under pressure and drops them when not, I can live with that.Ā

All good if no-one reads this, I'm doing it for myself :)
Ā 

Gawn: holding his marks
Spargo: Busy! Costly miss.
Pickett: Another costly miss
Bowey: Smart, Clean, Powerful (for his size :P)
Langdon: Prolific like usual.
Weideman: A quiet 3
Sparrow: Showed unappreciated speed
Oliver: 3 Brownlow votes
Petty: Becoming AA worthy
Joel Smith: WTF was that?
Luke Jackson: Quiet game forgiven
J.Jordon: Vanilla 19 touches
ANB: 2 costly misses (1 inexcusable)
S.May: Fantastic without leverĀ 
A.Brayshaw: Doing his thang!
Dunstan: kept it simple
Harmes: An annoying miss (on the full)
Fritsch: 2 needed goals
Rivers: Finding his groove
J.Hunt: Kept Shai quiet.
Ben Brown: Was impressively unimpressive. (will get better though).
Petracca: important when needed (needs to sharpen up his kicking for goal though)

"War and Peace" version.

Worst one since Lynden Dunn. Get some milk on his upper lip and the cat could lick it off.

3 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

He, Bowey and and Rivers will all be AA.

Rivers is a fair way off AA at this stage. Bowey and Petty are much closer.

Petty, Bowey, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, Pickett and Jackson are all young players who have shown that they are close to best 22 in a premiership team. Too early for AA but they all show potential.

And to think that they have many years to learn from playing with Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Lever, Brayshaw, Langdon Spargo, ANB, Hunt and Harmes, experienced premiership players, who all still have many years to go. Add in Weideman and Smith who might still make it to the top.

I cannot recall any other recent team that had so much potential to develop further. But let's keep it to one game at a time.

Ā 

Can someone tell me why people boo Weideman? I know they're not booing, instead saying 'Weeeed' or something like that? is that right? I just don't really understand it. 'Weeed' sounds nothing like a 'boo'..? I'm confused lol.Ā 
Also the fact that a guy that spends more time with Casey, it's a strange thing that I've never really understood and warmed to. I feel like it's a little cringe. :) Have I missed something?Ā

  • 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.

  • 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?
