Gawn - All Australian performance 

Viney - great first half

Pickett - always looked likely

Neal-Bullen - impressive connection game

Billings - many wasted possessions 

Salem - impressive first half

Langdon - needed more involvement 

Petty - had some moments

Sparrow - not a tagger

McVee - rarely showed out

McDonald - held opponent well

Chandler - was rarely dangerous 

Lever - just a shadow

Tomlinson - effective not showy

Hore - some inexplicable errors

Oliver - lazy and inefficient 

Turner -?had little impact 

Fritsch - a wasted talent

Howes - held dangerous opponent 

Tholstrup - regularly lacked awareness 

Rivers - a disappointing performance

vanRooyen - couldn’t get involved 

Melksham - couldn’t influence game

 

 

Bit tough  on melksham
he played half a quarter! plus he was involved in what should have been the winning play via fritsch and tholstrup. 

I thought TMac was not good tonight, and was outmarked by Ratagulea multiple times. Chandler was terrific in his pressure and tackling - surely you saw that, Joeboy! Hore was much better in there second half as he got the pace of the game. And Oliver has many issues, with his hand and his  fitness, but not lazy! So:

 

Joeboy - got many wrong.

Edited by Ollie fan

 

Oliver was pretty sick and others too, so even better effort.

And yet we lead most of the night and went down by 2 miserable points.

Absolutely no doubt about that.

There’s a few players with covid at other clubs who are suffering. Wouldn’t surprise if a few of our players are too.

McVee - not a mid 

Does not have the frame or ability in heavy congestion. He's a ripping 1v1, aerial and slingshot player. His home is half back.

why play him??

I am far from a Sparrow fan but the amount of times I’ve seen ‘Sparrow - great tagging game’ or similar would suggest you do think he can tag

So you base that broad statement on a sample of one and a bit games? Gee, you're good Nostradamus.

Very tough assessments there indeed.  Thought Turner, Lever and Sparrow were all very good contributors.  The pile on of Clarry is obscene.

I'm not basing it on his output as a mid last night. I'm basing it on my assessment of him as a player and I've been saying this ever since people started mentioning his name for midfield 

Am allowed to have long held opinions champ. Jog on

  • 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.

  • 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.
