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…

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
