6. Oliver - great first half but kept to 9 in the second half and only 3 in the last.

5. Viney - 15 contested, again a better first half than second but played a good game.

4. Rivers - 10 contested and 7 clearances.

3. Langdon - ran hard all night and presented an option.

2. Gawn - nowhere near his best and beaten by Briggs in a couple of important centre bounces but played an important role, with 12 contested possessions, 4 clearances, his own goal and the goal he created for ANB.

1. Lever - outstanding first quarter and a decent last.

Yes, it may seem odd that 3 mids + Max there given that we were beaten in clearances.

 


Really like the composure of McVee and Moniz-Wakefield.  Lever and Tmcd made me nervous all night.  Like they are thinking in slow motion.   
 

6 McVee - composed and reliable 

5 Langdon - runs and runs and runs 

4 Rivers - great start and kept competing  (plus put Bedford in his box )

3 Viney - huge heart - great goal in 3rd but stupid free also given away  - kept fighting it out 

2 Oliver- seeing signs of his prior self   Needs a big preseason 

1 May - gives 100%  always contests hard and kicks clear the defensive zone 

minus 5 Goodwin - too slow to realise Callaghan is a good player.  Too slow to put May on Hogan. He left Tmcd on Hogan, who was out marking Tmcd for fun !!! 
 

minus 5. Bailey Fritsch.  Laziest player on the team.  Really lazy.  Didn’t man up and doesn’t want to chase at all.  Really needs someone to call him out.  Memo to@binman

6 - Clayton Oliver I also thought it was Clarry’s best game for the year.

5 - Trent Rivers works so hard and never gives in, great 1st half

4 - Jake Lever much better game tonight, ran hard to spoil and link up

3 - Ed Langdon excellent work rate, saved us numerous times, couple of dodgy out of bounds but he back to his best

2 - Judd McVee cool and calm under pressure great kick breaks up their attack

1 - Jack Viney great contested work, wish he had McVee disposal

-10 for Umpires, made my blood boil even when I was starting to freeze, Jeezuz how cold was it at the G tonight. We could have won it but in the end it was Hogan, bad luck, our inability to man up and our poor disposal that cost us the game.


6 Lever - made amends for last week's shocker.

5 McVee - calm and efficient.

4 Oliver - showed pleasing energy.

3 Viney - strong in the contest.

2 Rivers - adds much-needed speed in midfield.

1 Langdon - our running machine.

Our midfield got beaten for 3 quarters of the day and many disposal were inflated by unclean rushed disposals!

Not a single vote amongst Demonanders for Windsor. He almost single handidly orchestrated our first and only quater of dominance.

Not giving votes but I thought the young blokes played well, and will take learnings 

sorry.  
 Monners  I really like. McVee , Windsor, woey 2.0 needs game time to find out how he will be. Laurie probably same but I am not a fan. Is Disco a young bloke. Should play the rest of the season. 
and can someone tell me why Bowey does not have the time and composure he had earlier.  Needs a rest I think.

Because he only touched the ball 6 times, including 0 in the second and 0 in the last.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
