Gawn - a powerful performance 

Viney - not as prolific 

May - dominated until injured 

Rivers - reliable and creative 

Salem  - solidified the defense 

Howes - a mature head

Langdon - better second half

Petracca - outstanding second half 

Fritsch - outplayed stronger opponent

Oliver - couldn’t shake opponent

Chandler - clever small forward

Pickett - great first half

Hore - tight and reliable 

Sparrow - tough and skilled 

Lever - quiet before injury

Brown - little to commend

Petty - better down back

McDonald - another steady performance 

McVee - continues to shine

van Rooyen- showing commendable versatility 

Neal- Bullen - consistent and focused 

Billings - impressive first half

Windsor - a Langdon clone

 

 

 

 

Langers, best game for ages.

joeboy - keep on punchin’

A consistent and fair appraisal overall. Goody in his presser seemed pleased that Sammy Mitchell persisted with his master tagger. Just leaves the hawks one short offensively at the centre bounces and ball ups. The Demon onball collective appeared to enjoy an even team orientated performance. Clayton Oliver contributed manfully with 23 possessions despite quote ‘couldn’t shake opponent’ and being the focus of some extracurricular physical attention. With 14 disposals in the Round 23 clash last season that triplet would fit. Given the coach’s tactical response and the fact that #13 had an over 60% improvement in possessions this time.

Oliver - cunning plan gazumped 

Ed watch 26 disposals at 76.9% DE 4 tackles at 92% ToG%. 

Langdon - kicks klicks quick

Young Caleb’s GPS data must be impressive considering his youth. Great addition to the Winger’s club.

Windsor - has the tank

Nice on Fritta - loved it when he outbodied Sicily to mark and goal in the last qtr, who went down like a sack of spuds

Good to see him back to his best.

As much as I don't like Sicily I can see why the Hawks fought to keep him in. They would have been beaten by another four goals.

And I reckon if the paid even a quarter of the incorrect disposals against both teams the game would have flowed more and we would have scored more.

With three talls playing Fritta is at his best. Admittedly Bbb was down, Petty moved back and Jvr in the ruck may have given him more room.

Also since the inclusion of more talls, Chandler, Kozzie and Nibbler are kicking more goals.

I'm sure the Hawks threw extra numbers around the ball after the first quarter and it became a bit of a bog fest.

I'm wondering if Chol has form for using knees and feet out. Was all legit against Maysie but still punishing. He also led with his foot out in the ruck and clipped Jvr on the head. Very dangerous. A touch of Toby G perhaps.

I've also thought Hawks are a dirty team and the way they went after Oliver confirmed my beliefs.

Anyway, for so very long we have been their bunnies so I'm revelling in the amount of wins we've had over them recently.

Petracca - laser like bullets

van Rooyen - our 2nd ruckman

Petty - versatility is gold

Howes - most improved player

Windsor - pace to burn

That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

 

Tracc- what a footballer

Having seen the replay, I suspect the damage to May's ribs was caused by Chol landing on top of May who was partially lying sideways on the ground. I doubt it was the collision itself (and even if it was, Chol did nothing wrong).

  • 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?

    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?
