    Langdon got slaughtered by old man Sidebottom, let's not sugar coat it.

    Forgot about Bowey. 

    Take a bow.

    That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true.

    And we almost won.

    Gawn - Huge Heart.  Herculean effort. Huge   

    Viney - flew the flag then tried but overall not at his best at all

    Petracca - nowhere in 1st half / lifted to almost bring us home in the second half, but learn to tackle , often easily pushed away or evaded 

    Oliver - tried and tried and tried but many many irrelevant possessions , got better and nearly lifted us 

    May - looked out of sorts early but lifted to one of the best Dees in the night - such passion and heart

    Lever - big on spoils , had a few brain fades , why didn’t we keep Turner in so Lever could be intercept defender  

     Bowey - good and almost very good. Safe in disposal
 an important game

    Rivers - where was his energy. No go tonight 
 was surprisingly quiet

    Salem - ummm he’s not the player of 2021 
 looked slow and loose

    McVee - good game 
 Hill got 2 early but Judd was break even tonight

    Smith - had his chances - rather see him in defence  

    McDonald - retire now 
 slow 
 cannot turn 
 3 minutes - 2 goals 

    vanRooyen - young colt - raw - overawed -  will be suspended 

    Fritsch - brain fades 
 almost good 
 his defence is non existent  - players brush him off  learn to tackle !!! 

    Pickett - an almost game as usual - brilliant and poor in so many passages - could have won it but it’s often a case now of almost !!! 

    Neal-Bullen - good in patches - a defensive forward 

    Sparrow - nowhere in 1st half then better second half

    Chandler - did he play? Looked lost  

    Hunter - gets the footy BUT slow to dispose of footy - must improve decision making

    Hibberd - very good as stopped Elliott all night

    Laurie - no no no  was lost  almost delist now 

    Langdon - yes he was Sidebottom gimp but got much better in second half

    Max Gawn deserves to win another flag. He is arguably the best player I’ve ever seen play for Melbourne.

    A god amongst mere mortals. His [censored] plays better football than Mason “I’m a yank thug” Cox.

    Once again our backline delivered. I swear they must pull their hair out. Kept Pies to 60 points and watch our forwards blow 30 chances to score two measly goals in the last quarter.

    I haven’t been his biggest fan this year, but Max was immense tonight. A pity that most didn’t follow the example that he led by.

    The forward line was disappointing all night, as was the delivery into it.

    As for TMAC - I’m sorry, but even a 1-legged Melky would’ve done better tonight. And I have no idea what we see in Smith, he is well entrenched in our bottom 6 and yet he manages to hang around on the list (I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he is not an AFL quality player).

    Kozzie just needs to be told to go out and have fun playing footy, his heads all at sea.

    Langdon & Hunter we’re so soft, in a final you’ve got to put your head over the ball, both ineffective

    ANB was pretty good.

    Clarry 750 metres gained. Not useful?

    Grabbing the ball and kicking it forward as far of you can to an intercept is not what we need from him

    I am so frustrated with this loss.  Seems yet another wasted opportunity.  No real connection in the forward line and looks like we lose Roo.  But, I cannot understand why we re-signed Schache.  A former number 2 in the national draft, us being his third club, he clearly is not up to standard and as a result, we don't select him to play, when we are in desperate need of forwards.

    Yet we select a bloke that has only played 2 VFL games in 4 months.  I have the utmost respect for TMac, but sadly, I think the game has passed him by.  

    We have seen the lack of separation in our forward line several times this year, yet we dominated inside 50's last night.  Surely our coaches can come up with a better plan that what we appear to have at the moment.  So bloody annoyed.

    Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available.   
    But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

    • 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 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?
