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: 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?

    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?
