Yep...

Rivers - Riv is back


Brayshaws 44% disposal efficiency wasn't overly classy...and I say this as #1 ticket holder to the Gus fan club

Hey, hang on.. I thought I was the number one ticket holder of that prestigious establishment! I demand a duel at dawn!!

But like you, I could not give him votes for his game last night - his disposal was poor.Ā

As long as he is kickingit our way I am happy

It looked to me like Max was putting his arms up to mark the ball but not really trying to grab it.As if he is tired of being thumped in the contest week in week out

I love him but have nightmares about his left foot šŸ˜‚

Lever: Best Celebration Ever!Ā

Melbourne Demon’s answer to Andrew Redmayne. I could watch this on replay ALL day!Ā 


It's pretty unlucky to not really have any frontline midfielders who are great kicks..Ā  Brayshaw hasn't exactly raised the standard there, efficiency is probably his biggest weakness.

If our kicking skills in the middle were just a little better we would absolutely dominate teams.Ā  Jealous of the Hawthorn and Brisbane midfields in their special eras, they were hard as nails but nearly all fantastic kicks too.

He was carrying a minor injury apparently.Ā  There was some thought that he might have been a late out.Ā  He seemed to mark ok once the game went on but his mobility was definitely not at its usual standard. Fortunately Jackson stepped up and played one of his better games for the year.

Joeboy - very good analysisĀ 

Dees - into top 4Ā 

Dees - get double chanceĀ 

Oliver - real Brownlow chanceĀ 

Viney - UFC a possibilityĀ 

Goodwin - some new tacticsĀ 

May - more creative kickins

Hibbo - great defensive gameĀ 

Kozzzy - some amazing goalsĀ 

andĀ 

Zorko - you fuc&((&@n [censored]Ā

It does not matter ,getting it/making sure the other mob do notĀ  is the first step, the rest is icing on the cake !!

Is there a league wide stat for the player who kicks the ball out on the full the most often?

Joeboy: gets it 100% right when we win by 10 goals and 90% wrong when we loose by two goals.Ā

  • 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 psychologistĀ  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 overwhelmedĀ 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).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.

  • 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?
