    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…

    • 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?
