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.

You know... stats are bull . Champion Data has created a trough of rubbish that many feed on.

How someone gets the chocolates in rucking when the opponent wins the outcome.. I.e. the clearance is handed to the opposition never fails to give me a chuckle.

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

You seem to have completely different standards for different players. It's weird how little you give Gawn credit considering some of the players you give free passes to.

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

May - Turned back clock

Petty - Playing one-man down

Lindsay - Tried yet limited

Windsor - Back to Casey

Chandler - Continued good season

Rivers - A wasteful accumulator

Pickett - Brought the energy


Hey !!!!!!! We lost by 1 F.....l..lPoint so we are not that far out of it.

The way people are posting you would think we were 105 points down in the first Q and had a side of U14 players C Division @ Sea Lake

It’s the hurt. It hearing that putrid song. That putrid side by side song. It’s sitting on the train and heating their arrogant POS supporters all laughing. It’s turning up to work today and getting the [censored] banter about May & Gawn and the taunts about the Dees off to the snow. It’s not a cocoon. We live in the real world. We just want to beat them. We should have won it. I’m getting sick of saying it. It’s frustrating. That’s why the posters are venting. It’s frustrating. It’s anger. It’s passion. We don’t accept honourable losses. @Demonland

Jefferson's a good example. He's shown nothing at AFL level yet and you keep telling us that he's got it. He's not and never will be a quarter of the player Gawn is.

And I hate to say it... Oliver. I know he's been a brilliant player for us and I've still got a soft spot for him but you never held him accountable for a litany of poor performances that he had last year. If Gawn ever dropped off to the same level that he did you'd be calling for him to go and never come back.

You also started a thread on Brodie Grundy and suggested that he was better than Gawn when literally no one else has that opinion.

Ok I am a Jeffo fan, and he SHOULD have been given a suite of games on the back of good form last year when all was lost in the senior team. This year he has played 3 games

Game 1 Showed promise with 2 goals

Game 2 Broke his hand late first quarter/ early second resulting on a stint on the sidelines

Game 3 Should NEVER have been picked on zero form at Casey but was, terrible player management as I said at the time.

Then dropped and played 3 games at CASEY 2 which have been outstanding, and still not getting a game ( so much for selection integrity)!!

So you can say what you like but your superficial view of football and footballers and in particular LACK OF FACTS must be an embarrassment, to yourself, but go ahead BAG me, and you would know, being similar yourself!

This is very fair. Jeffo's recent form at Casey was ahead of JVR's; he should've been recalled ahead of him.

Mopping up the taps to take full advantage isn’t Max’s job - that’s for the mids to be in the right position. They know where they have to be.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
