Gawn - great despite errors

Oliver - prolific but wasteful

Petracca - dynamism wasn’t enough

Rivers - has lost momentum

Bowey - another excellent display

Fritsch - had more involvement

May - outstanding all game

Sparrow - a bland performance

Salem - what’s his role?

Pickett - the real wizard

Turner - safe and reliable

Langford - needs a break

Chandler - some minor involvement

Tholstrup - lacked spatial awareness

Melksham - tried against odds

Petty - little to enthuse

Lever - steady under pressure

Van Rooyen - continued doing nothing

McVee - unobtrusive but effective

Howes - held important opponent

Lindsay - needs a rest

Windsor - limited game time

Langdon - unlikely effective tagger

 

My Opinion. Probably just semantics

Pretty good

Gawn was very average, hit to opponents advantage and his dreadful disposal is cause for concern

That’s absurd

Bowey - cool and skilful

Chandler - excellent first quarter.

Fritsch - made costly errors.

Gawn - dominant in ruck.

Howes - justified his selection.

Lindsay - struggling for impact.

Langdon - great tagging job.

Langford - pace too hot.

Lever - much improved display.

May - turned back clock.

Melksham - found going tough.

Oliver - a midfield tiger.

Petracca - power without finesse.

Petty - posed little threat.

Pickett - some magic moments.

Rivers - did his job.

Salem - past his best.

Sparrow - another mixed bag.

Tholstrup - added midfield energy.

Turner - elite defensive showing.

Van Rooyen - looked completely lost.

McVee - sound and efficient.

Windsor - more time needed.

I understand your view. 👍

Bit harsh on the younger players....... this is the top side we played !!!

Oliver : Most involved game yet

Bowey : Plays above his height

Langford,Lindsay, Windsor : This what the best side is like !!

Langdon: great team discipline

Chandler, Sparrow: need more involvement

Howes, McVee ,Turner : my doubts have been erased

Rivers : needs a role

Petracca: Tries too hard, let it flow

But is it.

It's a very vexed equation. Ruck outcomes.

Max was playing his heart out. I'm sure most were. But outcomes are the litmus...eventually.

Max won the duelling... but not so sure he won the day. Wasn't alone.

Reality is reality

Champion data for what it's worth rated Gawn at 17.6 v Cameron 10.0. In a head to head contest that's about as comprehensive as it gets. Gawn was excellent (again) against one of the other top level rucks in the comp.

Seriously give up the Gawn bashing. Greatest ruckman in a generation. Your negative obsession with him is bizarre and tiring.

Watch the replay and tell me.... how many times do we actually benefit from his ruck taps, and then get back to me... wins the taps.. maybee, but to advantage?? Let me know!!

We won clearances and Centre clearances . Gawn thrashed his top quality opponent . Can’t believe his 2 kicking errors lead to this sort of criticism

  • 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.
