Nah!

 

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.

Gee, everyone got beaten comprehensively. 🙄 

6. Petracca. 

5. ANB.

4. McVee.

3. TMac.

2. Salem.

1. Langdon.

 

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.  

Nope not today

3 The female singer performing "It's a Grand Old Flag" in the indigenous language pre-game

2 The welcome to country

1 (In advance) Qantas for getting me the hell out of here

No Dees player deserved a vote IMHO.


6 - Max 

5 -Trac

 

4 - Langdon

3 - Judd

2 - Tomlinson 

1 - TMac

i am hoping they had a bug but if not we are Finnito.😢

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…

This is difficult but I will give it a go.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
