Neither Rivers nor Hibberd are tall defenders. 
Petty struggled but he was still our best tall defender even on one leg. I shudder to think how many more goals we would have conceded without him. 

Tonight yes

But include May, and the options open up

Tommo becomes 3rd tall... and we look totally different

    Sure but May wasn’t an option tonight. So we had to push on and Petty fought on manfully. 
    I think Tomlinson is a poor defender but agree that Petty needs a week off to recover properly from his 240 injuries.

    Adjudication

     Helter skelter.

    Opposition hyperbole watch;

    Tom Papley;  shameless self promoting skite on steroids. Save it for the bathroom mirror son. Get a real job as a sideshow spruiker. Honestly.

    Broadcast;

    Channel 7 have an unsavory fetish for frequent throws to John Longmire in the coaches box. It’s supposedly a sport broadcast. Absurd.

    Best they could do of Simon was an out of focus boundary shot. Reflected the team performance.

    Overall Performance;

    Like Icarus we Demons have flown to close to the Sun. Only to find our wings clipped and the team fabric unwaxed. Need to pull out of this dive quickly or the plummet could be painful.

    Special mentions to Harry Petty for battling on on one leg, and to Kozzie for some incredible solo pressure efforts that lead directly to a couple of our  early gaols.

    And a Purple Heart medal for Petty.

    I'm astounded at the love for Fritsch. Three goals is nice, but that's just a cameo. He needs to be exerting pressure when he hasn't got the ball and just isn't doing enough.

    6 Gawn, has a Ruckman ever had more contested possessions, played his heart out. 

    5 Viney, brilliant game.

    4 Brayshaw, reliable has not lost an ounce of courage.

    3 Oliver, did a power of work in defense. 

    2 Jordon,  smooth moves, looked assured.

    1 ANB, one clanger but a lot of good work too, improved out of sight on his couple of down games.

     

    Petty - Brave heart award

    To kick three and should have been four when he was double and tripled teamed all day was a great performance.

    I would dispute your opinion that Brayshaw was Melb's second best. Defensively he was very poor.

    I agree ANB was better but I’m still not happy with ANB and Spargo.  They contribute barely enough and very very low direct scoreboard impact.

    The bottom 3 could be in any order I couldn’t split them. 

    Not potting you, just genuinely curious, what didn't you rate about Viney, happy to hear another POV?

    Lack of execution. Viney needs to start lowering his eyes and hitting targets again, otherwise he is a liability. Gets it a lot and doesn’t utilize it as well as he should/can. I get he is hard at it, and I admire his will to win the footy, but unless he’s hitting targets, then I cannot have him in my votes. Jack once adapted his game, many years ago. Harnessed his aggression and when he did - he started lowering his eyes more. He is actually really good user of the footy (if poised), also has a pretty snappy side step. He needs to get back to that player. He is one of my favorites so if I could’ve fit him in the votes I would’ve. He’s certainly having a ripping year.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
