I know it's hard but I need two people to cast votes on a 6,5,4,3,2,1 basis from Sunday's game v West Coast Eagles. Please note we need 6 Melbourne players and Chris Judd is not eligible.

The Oracle who went to WA and witnessed the game in the flesh will be back this evening and his match report will be posted tomorrow if we can clean up the language in time. He will be the third vote giver for the game.

Thanks

    i'd go with:

    6 Johnstone - ran all day

    5 Sylvia - tried his guts out, made something from nothing

    4 Junior - ran all day and tried his guts out

    3 green - got the ball...

    2 bell - versatile and tried hard

    1 godfrey - had the guts to go onto judd, and get a few handballs/clearances himself

    jeepers, that's shocking! wouldn't wanna give the bests in a newspaper!

    6. Johnstone - Easily our best. Playing good footy and been amongst our best for a few weeks now. One of the few out there who appears to try and care

    5. Sylvia - Another good game off limited oppurtunities. The kid might finally be on his way to becoming the player we know he can be

    4. Junior - Tried hard

    3. Petterd - Starting to struggle now. Decent game from the youngster

    2. Green - Really sturggling. Tried to run?

    1. Bell - I'm done. His worst game for the year, but still far from our worst player

    Its his third game and against that kind of opposition I dont think he struggled, i think he'll learn an aweful lot from that game.

    He meant that he was struggling to find deserving vote-getters, not that Petterd struggled...

    I actually thought Petterd held himself pretty well considering. If I were giving votes it would be:

    6. Johnstone

    5. Sylvia

    4. Green

    3. McDonald

    2. Petterd

    1. Judd

    He kicked a classy goal in the third quarter.

    As someone just mentioned he was talking about struggling to find people to give votes to.

    This is the best I can come up with

    6.Brad Miller .Kicked the footy not once but twice in the last quarter.

    5. Brad Green.Dropped the footy while running unopposed not once but twice.

    4.David Neitz. Kicked tthe footy in both the first and last quarters.

    3.Daniel Bell. Pinpoint pass led to immediate goal.

    2.Paul Johnson. Managed to avoid colliding with any opposition player for entire game.

    1.Ryan Ferguson.Kept formidable injury record intact.

    Apart from that not many hilights.

    Why are people giving Green votes? Because he got 25 touches? He was not in our best players.

    Replace Green with Godfrey and replace Judd with Quentin Lynch, him kicking 6 behinds was our only defensive highlight.

    And he ran hard all day and tried to create space. Godfrey didn't deserve votes this week I didn't think, he got belted by Kerr and then Judd. Overall though, I must say that I am largely converted with Godders. He has been super this year.

  • Quote

    Does running hard and trying to create space warrant votes these days?

    Godfrey was beaten by both Kerr and Judd. But anybody from our side would have been. When Godfrey was getting his hands on the ball we played our best footy for the game.

    i gave mine to godders, he was our best in and at it player, evidenced by 14 handballs. but green really did run and rund and run, 'gut running' something i thought our whole team was supposed to be able to do, even the ones that weren't injured

    lynch got 7 behinds and an on the full didn't he? even more worthy of a vote you say!

    Give the boy 10/10 because it is finally nice to see him give a [censored] out on the field!!!!

    I didn't mean he struggled, I meant I was starting to struggle for people to give votes to, just like CarnTheDees said. Petterd was excellent for someone playing their 3rd AFL game. He has been fantastic for someone so young and inexperienced. Excited about his future!

    wow, lord travis, you have 666 posts! that's awesome, hopefully it's an omen

    Thats because I'm a real......DEMON...... B) lol my own wit amazes me sometimes. Wait I posted and now don't have 666 posts anymore. Sh*t..... :ph34r:

    Give the boy 10/10 because it is finally nice to see him give a [censored] out on the field!!!!

    Travis was great, and has been for weeks now. Nobody can ever accuse him of not giving a [censored]. In 2005 when we were getting flogged, he was the only player out there still running himself into the ground. When we were ROBBED against Port recently, he went and questioned the umpires after the siren went, and earnt himself a fine for $2000 for his passions. When Byron was thinking about giving it all away just last week, he was out to dinner with Wheels, Davey and Travis, and apparently Travis wouldn't let the issue go and was a factor in him deciding to stay on. I don't care what people say about Travis, in my eyes he is one of the most passionate players in our team, and one of our best leaders. If only we could bottle Mclean, Moloney, Jones, Junior and Travis' passion and endeavor, and then somehow inject it into the rest of the team without getting done for drug use.... :o

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
