6. ANB - Never stopped trying

5. Oliver - Our only midfielder who seemed to get his hands on the ball consistently

4. Pickett - Always exciting to watch.

3. Salem - Decent return from injury.

2. Petracca - Had some good moments but went missing for large portions of the game.

1. Fritsch - Our only winner in the forward 50

Sorry dubdee but kozzzy seriously ran in circles most of the night.  Turned in 360 degree circles and uses his left foot to spray the footy.  Had 3 golden chances for goals in the 3rd quarter.  Had some good moments like run and pass to McAdam.   But not our best. Not even close. 

It’s been a very long time since I’ve cast votes after a loss like that one, but I’ll have a crack:      
6.   ANB  -  continued his excellent season.  Busted his gut all game, and imo, was our best by a fair margin. Won plenty of the ball, and used it constructively.
5.   Viney  -  can’t question his endeavour, but disposal was questionable under pressure.
4.   Fritsch  -  our only forward.  Thank goodness for his set shot kicking
3.    Pickett -  always looked dangerous around the ball, but often tried to be too ‘cute’ when he had it.    
2.   Oliver  -  got plenty of the ball, but not damaging with it.   
1.   Salem  -  nice return after injury.  Good second half, and used it well.

No wonder we were soundly beaten!!

Just so tired of watching kicks go over heads, or bounce short, or hospital handballs or guys who just slam it on the boot when they have time. By the same guys week after week after week.    We had 36 inside 50s for the game against a bottom 4 side on a dry day.   The list above represents disposal efficiency.

Best 7 were Gawn, ANB, Pickett, Rivers, Viney, Oliver and Fritsch, but all were a fair way behind the Eagles best.  Probably go:

6. ANB

5. Gawn

4. Pickett

3. Fritsch

2. Viney

1. Rivers

Having said that, it was a poor a performance as we've seen since the dross we served up in Cairns in 2020. May - worst game in a very long time and he had plenty of mates.  Our mids were flogged by the Boy Wonder and his counterparts.

May received just 26 AFs!

26!

Maysie, we love you and need you.

  • 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?
