No votes.

I am taking the ballot paper in the polling booth, folding it and stuffing it in the box without touching pencil to paper.

We had a few triers today.  I'll give it a go.

6. Salem - thought he held up well.  Only 6 contested but went at 78%

5. Gawn - despite the rubbish commentary, Gawn defeated both Darcy and Jackson when either was against him.  The damage they did was largely against Petty, or when Jackson was forward.  Down in clearances, but maintained the rage. Max is a victim of his own insane standards.

4. Viney - again only 8 contested but tackled well.  Tried hard

3. Petracca - low contested numbers as well but worked hard.

2. McDonald - kicked a couple of goals

1. McVee - absent in the first quarter but put up solid numbers in the last three and went at 100%.

Votes. Votes?  Really. 92 point loss. 
Hard job. It was a horror show. #Freo92

6- McVee  100% efficiency.  Held Walters. 8 intercept marks. Zero stupid turnovers. Tried all day 

5- Viney.  Tried and fumbled and fought and tackled and fumbled and tried and slipped and tried.  Tried tried tried. 

4- Petracca. Because he cared. Looked frustrated by teammates who guarded grass and no pressure. Kicked nice goal.  

3- Gawn. Because he’s a warrior and tried all day. Freo ran him ragged  

2- Langdon.   Because he kicks the ball. Others just handball to no one. Tried his guts out.  
 

1- Tomlinson.  Tried all day under barrage. Kicked well. 90% disposal efficiency 

 

negative votes to the forwards Petty Fritsch McAdam Turner Chandler. 
negative votes to turnovers from Bowey, Salem, Riv, Sparrow who gave up the footy all day.

Bowey 6!! No way. 6 missed tackles. 3 turnovers led to Freo goals. He missed a player from 15 metres away. Turnover. Freo goal.  Was often lazy with tackling and disposal. Shameful today.

In a game which we will all want to forget, finding four quarter winners wearing red and blue was impossible.  My votes are more directed at players who can hold their head up, notwithstanding an extraordinarily poor team performance.

6.  Gawn -  tried his guts out for the full 100 minutes, despite being bashed from pillar to post.  Probably broke even in the ruck despite the odds, and was solid(ish) around the ground.     
5.  Salem  -  worked hard and probably came close to breaking even, despite the onslaught of ball coming into our backline.   Disposal under pressure was good, and there was certainly lots of pressure.    
4.  McVee  -  reliable under pressure for most of the game, and along with Salo, he was one of few who could make sound decisions, and hit targets out of defence.
3.  Tomlinson  -  caught out of position a few occasions (which was understandable given the number of times the ball was coming in), but he seemed reasonably ‘cool in the crisis’, and used it pretty well.  Our best tall defender.    
2.  Langdon  -  another ‘workhorse’ Langdon effort.    
1.   Viney  -  showed pride in the jumper, and never dropped his head.

I’m now turning to a bottle of Shiraz, in the hope that it will help me find a skerrick of solace in that dreadful performance.

I think that 15 meter turnover was miscalled actually - it was Rivers. Thought he was one of the few who showed some grit and courage, and occasional composure. But you know, most sucked, so…

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
