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.

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: 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?
