Very hard because we really didn't have a player who won their position.  We had some triers so here goes -

6. Van Rooyen - 8 marks, a couple of goals, looked like he put in a decent effort.

5. May - some rubbish stat padding but wasn't disgraced and managed to get the Freo fans riled up so points for that.

4. Petty - was decent around the ground but as long as his backside points to the ground he no ruckman. Liked his contested marking.

3. McVee - he played another solid game.  He's composed under pressure and uses it well.

2. Billings - did more in less than a half than most did in a full game.

1. Langdon - ran a lot, got to position well and was a useful link

Absolutely shocking effort by our midfield - Viney, Oliver, Sparrow, ANB, Rivers, Pickett.  As poor a display as you could see.

Lever - just about a career worst game.

 


Votes? For that performance?

Maybe 1 to Langdon for trying to teach Fritsch that the game involves running, chasing and tackling.

6   McVee. Stood up under fierce heat. Kid is so composed

5   McDonald. The wide vision on TV was damning. On transition the only bloke running with intent was 94 year old TMac

4   JVR. Sadly is the second best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit forward

3   Petty. Sadly is the third best ruck at the club. Competed against the odds & showed a bit around the ground

2   May. Had a crack, showed some passion & comittment

1   Billings. Also damning. Did more in a half than most of our mids contributed for the game

6 McVee 

5 Langdon 

4 RIV

3 JVR 

2 Petty 

1 May 

mids. Horrible. Oliver. Sparrow. JV7. ANB. Kozzzy.  All were horrible.  
defence. Lever was worst game ever.

Yeah I was hoping no-one would vote out of protest.

6 - Harry Petty - For re-signing, for some outstanding contested marks today and for slotting that goal after having the yips all year. Go you good thing!

5 - meh etc


6. JVR

5. Langdon 

4. McVee

3. Windsor

2. Petty

1. May

6 - Jacob van Rooyen tried his guts out

5 - Steven May despite some blues

4 - Harrison Petty good around the ground plus he re-signed to ‘27

3 - Ed Langdon our running man

2 - Judd McVee great awareness

1 - Trent Rivers just edged out Billings

Our midfield badly mauled by Freo and penalised by umps as well, our much vaunted backline were badly beaten by Freo’s as well, junior football stuff, who was guarding the goal square and Jake Lever you were so out of touch today what the hell, outmarked, outplayed jumping at shadows.

Casting votes today is very similar to my Year 6 maths exam ie. aImost impossible!!
All of our boys lowered their colours, in a performance I seriously want to forget, but here goes:

6.   May  -  under immense pressure all game given the amount of ball coming in, and the complete absence of our hallmark ‘team defence’.  Battled manfully, and won or halved some contests.   
5.  JvR  -  worked hard, whether ruck or forward.  Commendable effort against huge odds.
4.   Petty  -  clearly not a ruckman, but battled hard all game, and contested marking around the ground (especially in the second half), was a worthy effort.
3.   Langdon  -  ran all day (again!), and should be commended for his work-rate.
2.   McVee  -  solid in the face of insurmountable odds.  Showed his usual good composure when he had the ball.
1.    Rivers  -  little influence as a mid, but improved considerably when he went to HB in the second half.


6. McVee

  • 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?
