43# Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Progressing nicely in the VFL might need to get a bit more of the football.

42# Judd McVee - Struggling to get a lot of the ball. Needs time.

41# Fraser Rosman - Improving slowly since he's gone down back.

40# Blake Howes - Looked promising early a foot injury has hampered his progress.

39# Deakyn Smith - Progressing steadily down back.

38# Daniel Turner - Injured early has come back and looked impressive in the VFL.

37# Taj Woewodin - Has shown good signs on the wing.

36# Oskar Baker - Good form in the VFL but doesn't look like he has the abiltiy to turn that into good AFL form.

35# Majak Daw - Been solid in the ruck for Casey. You know what you get with Majak.

34# Jacob van Rooyen - Has shown promising signs in the VFL with a 6 goal haul against North.

33# Bailey Laurie - Shown promising signs in the VFL and been close to selection

32# Kade Chandler - Hasn't had a real run at it this year the suspension cost him dearly.

31# Jake Melksham - Cooked at AFL level but trying had at VFL level.

30# Michael Hibberd - Been injured for most of the year. Starting to find some form at VFL level.

29# Adam Tomlinson - Good form in the VFL but it's not transforming to good AFL form.

28# Mitch Brown - Excellent form at VFL level. Worth persisting with at AFL level

27# Sam Weideman - Good VFL form not turning into good AFL form like Tomlinson.

26# Joel.Smith - Was really starting to find his feet at AFL level until he done his ankle. Injury prone.

25# Luke Dunstan - Been a disappointing recruit. Accumulator but doesn't hurt the opposition.

24# Jayden Hunt - Been really poor the last month. Needs to find some form. Doing the small forward lockdown role.

23# Trent Rivers - Disappointing year not up to the lofty heights from his premiership year.

22# Ben Brown - Disappointing year. Last month has been putrid, needs to find some form.

21# Toby Bedford - The super sub. Showed promisng form has pace to burn and could be dangerous in tandem with Spargo and Pickett.

20# Tom Sparrow - Struggled of late needs to find consistantcy.

19# James Harmes - Been ok but needs to find a bit more of the ball.

18# Christian Salem - Been injured most of the year. Showed good signs against Sydney

17# Luke Jackson - Not putting his stamp on the game liek he should be time to step up.

16# Jake Bowey - Early in the year he was a rising star favorite struggled a little bit of late.

15# Harison Petty - Missed the whole pre season starting to play some good footy.

14# Alex Neal-Bullen - Not hitting the scoreboard but still playing his role.

13# Charlie Spargo - Similar to Neal-Bullen.

12# Tom McDonald - Strugled early but really started to hit his straps before he got injured.

11# Kysiah Pickett - Electrifying at his best the best defensive player in the comp.

10# Jake Lever - Not as good as last year.

9# James Jordon - Revelation on the wing this year.

8# Jack Viney - The heart and soul of the footy club still playing some great footy.

7# Ed Langdon - Best wingman in the comp.

6# Bailey Fritsch - Our only consistant forward.

5 Christian Petracca - Controversial most people would have him in the best 2 or 3 but I don't think he has had as good a year as he did last year.

4 Angus Brayshaw - Has been a revelation down back in All Australian form.

3 Steven May - Showed his importance with his absence. The rock of the back line.

2 Clayton Oliver - Never puts in a bad game.

1 Max Gawn - The best player in the league.

    Pretty fair positioning for Trac. His first two weeks were sublimely explosive but a possible knee injury and/or other niggles and illness have certainly taken away a lot of his power and explosiveness.  Seems to have tied himself in some psychological knots around his set shot goal kicking too. Hoping the bye freshens him up for a strong 2nd half of the season.

    Lets cut to the chase, Trac is out of form or injured. Watch his game Saturday night, he fumbled the ball more than anyone on the ground and that is a sign that his touch is just not there. Its actually symptomatic across the team, key players are desperately out of touch.

    Ben Brown - cant get near it, when he does, missing easy shots, some not making the distance.

    Lever - exposed badly without May and not the intercept player he was last year.

    Jacko - Just going to be honest.

    I think you’re harsh on Tomlinson. And I think Mitch Brown has shown on Saturday what he showed us in a game or two last year – that is, he’s just not up to AFL. He gets brushed aside too easily and has no presence in a pack.

    • 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?

    • 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?
