Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jack Viney make up the Top 5. Your votes for the embarrassing loss against the Dockers. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

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.

First time I've never voted, but I can't nominate a some of these players and then justify it - if someone challenged me!

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…
