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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
