10 Max Gawn (MELB)

8 Jordan De Goey (COLL)

5 Jamie Elliott (COLL)

3 Christian Petracca (MELB)

2 Christian Salem (MELB)

1 Nick Daicos (COLL)

1 Brayden Maynard (COLL)

Thats bizarre that Oliver couldn’t poll a single vote.

 

No surprise at all given that Oliver was supposed to be on De Goey for much of the night.  Gawn was outstanding and I'm pleased both coaches acknowledged it if some here couldn't.

I had Gawn and Petracca ahead of him but thought he might get some. I didn’t realise he was supposed to be on De Goey so that explains a fair bit.

 

Strange night for Max. I had him BOG also, but his kicking for goal cost us the game. 

How many of Oliver's possessions benefited the team? He is without doubt a wonderful player, but most of his disposals on Friday were pretty ordinary. In particular, his reluctance to kick started a number of pointless chains of handpasses that ultimately resulted in us losing possession.

I’ll also add that I’m annoyed Elliott got votes. 2 of his goals came from incorrect HTB decisions. It was only the Hibberd one which was clear. Jordan and Viney had basically no prior.

Totally agree Was a flip back to the old Clarry wasting the ball and mucking around almost lairrising in fact! 

Give us a spell, 42 & 24 contested doesn’t deserve any votes & DeGoey got 8!!!!

Geez you posters jump off quickly 

Seriously


I had Max, Tracc & Clayton ahead of DeGoey but he did look pretty flash when he cleared a number of centre clearance’s and ran out unopposed, mind you his kicking was poor on occasions.!!!! Clayton put his body on the line and had no problem winning the ball but didn’t get a lot of run away from stoppages and the ball get turned over in meaningless handball chains.😢😪.

Thought Oliver was one of the very few who maintained the same effort all night.

So if we had won by 2 goals Oliver would have got 8 votes and De Goey would have got zero because he was supposed to be on Oliver?

I didnt see it that way at all, Greg Baum of the AGE a thoroughly astute footy scribe gave Clarry 8 Votes BOG. 42 POSESSIONS Cmon give ne a break. ELLIOT SALEM, LUCKY. IMO Clarry is still a better player than Tracc

That Johnson kid was stiff, those 4 goals all had high degrees of difficulty and kept them in it.

Absolutely he did, and you can never question his effort or will to win.

But we felt on the night he wasn't hurting the oppositon. Lots of big kicks  without specfic targetting, as opposed to many Pies inbound kicks to targets.

Elliot beat us last time, and did it again on Friday.

He's a great player kicked 3 or 4 on Jetta in that dismal loss in 2017

How hot were they on the 'instant tackle no prior' HTB!

That’s a really poor post, the guy worked his backside off & was probably the only player that had a great second half, l saw no larrising  at all

As for Gawn getting 10 votes, missed 3 easy goals and as much as he was good he cost us the 4 points 

Edited by Billy


I guess Goodwin didn’t give  Oliver votes because he knows a lot of his touches were wasted.

Whats a bet Oliver will get 3 brownlow votes 😀

The Age gave Oliver 8 and DeGoey 8.

Sorry, anyone that gets 14 clearances surely deserves at least 1 coaches vote, but clearly neither coach rated his game.

And 4 on QB this year.  Its why I think Ed is on the money - we just need a stopper on a few  - we surely know the issue by now with the Pies.

A great news Grundy is out for the year. It means we have Mason Cox in for the finals, a boon to any Pies Oppo.

Good to see Salem amongst the votes. Still not back to his regular best, but was his best game since returning from injury.

  • 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.

    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?
