I was at the ground but a long way from the Richmond end.   So only saw close half the action.

both Grundy and Oliver got better as the day went on.

So 6 Grundy

5 Oliver

I thought Lever was very good Rivers, Bowey, McVee  and Pig  all composed

4 Lever

3 Chandler had a great day

2 Fritz  got better

1  Van Rooyen      took marks like the Ox did when he started   fantastic

Apologies

Rivers, McVee, Hibbo, Spargo, AnB, Tracca, Hunter, Langdon Sparrow, Bowey and others

yep thats what I was looking for. 10 min to go 3rd quarter Sydney was coming and we couldn't stop it (and they kicked points). Who stood up ? Oliver and with great defensive efforts all day. most tackles with 7 as well (interestingly JVR next with 6).

Petracca good but very sloppy, tried to do to much and disposal average 

Not quite as polished as we'd like but had some big time clearances in the 2nd half.

He needs to think less and kick more inside 50. He often misses the chance to have a quick snap and ends up stuffing the ball or hand balling to trouble.

That's right, sometimes you just need to have the 'throw it on the boot' mentality.

“The whole team”

Opposition Hyperpole watch;

T Papley; beyond the usual cameos, wider audience mercifully spared the full bantam rooster routine back to feather dusters.

L Franklin; it appears now only deigns to participate when the spotlight is at its brightest, centre stage. After the now too brief high octane moments fades like yesterday’s star into the wings.

From the director’s chair;

Congratulations to Simon Goodwin and the off celluloid support crew. Another brilliant production with fresh ideas, innovation and new faces. But with no hint of throwing out the baby with the bath water. 

Adjudication;

Remained anonymous as they should, although a hint of over-zealousness has crept in with the fourth. Overall much more good than harm.

Broadcasters;

BT managed to keep the amateurish bombast largely in check. Cameron Ling has actually improved, with the addition of some intelligent insights. An enjoyable listen overall, guess it goes with being on the winning side.

 

 

 


6: Oliver

5: May

4: lever

3: Rivers

2: Langdon

1: Petracca

 

Unlucky: Chandler, Grindy, McVee,

  • 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?
