Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts

The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly ā€œlimited involvementā€), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and I’m sure the coaches aren’t as down on him as a few posters have been lately.Ā 

Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.Ā

Salem - contest work underrated

Put his body on the line repeatedly tonight.

Yes he didn’t star but did what was needed. Ā Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.Ā

They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

Why in the world would AMW need a ā€œrestā€? Ā He ain’t Joe Biden 😓

Thanks Mel. Ā These pressure acts are mostly unseen by the fans at the ground - many of whom still want ā€œkick it longā€ - but are incredibly important in the structure of the team.

Looking forward to binman’s stats analysis tonight.Ā

Surprised when he was ā€˜rested’ during the final qt Saturday night. Certainly was fully invested in the team performance prior to that. May not have the finesse of Salem or Bowey but his combative, take no prisoners attitude has been noticed. Mentioned in dispatches by the Channel 7 commentary and didn’t take a backward step in the contretemps V Jake Stringer.

Just want to say how important it was that Max was out and i don't know why?

Joe Biden - I think he plays for the Cats.

As much as I don't like umpire 22, I thank the lord he's no Dean Margetts.

Pontius Pilate would do a better job 'crucified' Tim Smith.

Good assessment JB.

I thought Oliver was very quiet in the first half and on the bench longer than he should have been.

But he can alive as Oliver of old in the second and it was heart warming tuff.

He Langers, Melksham and Nibbler were back to their sublime best.

Rivers and kozzie in the guts too were fantastic.

I've argued all year our midfield has been down on impact this year but it seems to have turned the corner.

Despite having no ruck we won the clearances in the wet when we have lost a lot of games on these conditions.

As mentioned numerous times Melksham in or fwd line makes it go from average to dynamic.

He is a super hard matchup for others and we now have an easy 100 point kickingĀ  fwd line.

Apart from his sliding smart goal to a vacant goal square, his kick to Turner was pinpoint accurate such that Disco didn't have to break stride.

Can't wait until Max is back and Jvr gets to play fwd with the others and not so much ruck work.

As good as Kozzie is in the middle I'd like him fwd as much as we can spare him.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’sĀ performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
