Not too bad Joeboy: You were kind with some, but more-or-less right on.

Bell didn't have a great day, but he battled manfully I thought. Farmer's a pretty good player and at least one of his goals wasn't Daniel's fault. I don't know that there's much you could say in a positive way about his game, but then if you can find positives about Jamar, Rivers, and Jones you could find something to say about Belly. Don't get me wrong. Rivers' game was probably the best 4 possession game I've ever seen. Jamar had nothing in the stats column but somehow exerted himself. And Jones was just tagged out by a more mature player. I have nothing against any of them based on yesterday alone... I just reckon Bely cops it unnecessarily sometimes.

I reckon, given the form of Garland and Warnock, Bell will probably be the one to make way fro Wrecker. And that's fair enough. There were only a couple of bad games from the demons yesterday.


Bartram - has definitely regressed

Bate - a welcome addition

Bell - wont escape Sandy

Bruce - predictably butchered footy

Carroll - no real influence

Davey - excitement machine returns

Frawley - another promising effort

Garland - finally showed something

Green - overlooked as leader?

Jamar - amazingly quelled Sandilands

Jones - career worst game

McDonald - battled hard again

McLean - years best game

Miller - career best game

Moloney - took Baileys advice

Morton - dominant display imminent

Rivers - dominated without possessions

Robertson - It takes 22

Warnock - kid has arrrived

Wheatley - footskills were divine

White - contested ruck well

Wonaeamirri - words cant describe

 
Wonaeamirri - NAB Rising Star (is this possible for a rookie?)

it didnt stop aaron davey..

I'm so pleased for Jamar, his ruck work against the giant was exceptional. He jumped early and ha very effective. His best game for the club. Miller was our best just worked hard all day. As our skills improve this guy will start to have more influence on games, will never be a star but will present all day and if we can hit targets he wil take 10-15 marks per match. Miller and Bate worked great as lead up targets.

Bartram had one to forget, Bell I thought was OK.

Its amazing when our midfield finally got on top in the second half none of our key defenders got much of the ball, Carroll, Rivers, Frawley didn't have a possession in the last half but still did there jobs.

3 words that summed up our players in the last half- They backed themselves


Yze Magic - becoming increasingly boring

Yeah, he is so so BORING and IGNORANT ( As well as being so bloody STUBBORN). Bruce played a sensational game but YM shuts his eyes and makes his usual innane comments. I wonder if Cameron, at some stage, pinched his girl friend? I do wish he would grow up and be HONEST occasionally.

Bobby

Tell me one time where I have been dishonest?

If bruce plays well, I will acknowledge it.

I wonder how many people here rate Andrew Carazzo from Carlton? Gets a shitload of the pill, but does nothing with it. Same as Bruce.

It's like I saw a completely different player with the name Colin Garland. :o:unsure:

I wish I could see what the above posters saw but I thought he was woeful, and has showed us next to nothing over the last few weeks. Straight out for Wheels.

Yze Magic - becoming increasingly boring

i'm gonna make y_m on this one. maybe he was a tad harsh, but i honestly thought that bruces disposal let him down. 30 something touches, had lots of it and ran hard to get it but wasnt damaging, and imo there were enough times in the 1st half when he turned it over when he shouldnt have that his game balanced out. 31 touches definitely not in my best on field though.

I have watched the replay, and apart from two loose handballs early in the game his disposal was as good as any other player. He put himself in and under and dealt out many slick EFFICIENT handballs particularly when the game was up for grabs. Only Brock McLean laid more tackles (7) than Bruce(6). By failing to acknowledge these facts you are being DISHONEST or plain PIG HEADED. I really hope it is the latter.


Davey - Afls Michael Jordan

c'mon Wrath.

Unless Davey can make space jam 2 and sells billions of shoes,

MJ is untouchable.

MJ is untouchable. Was going to go with Bird, but it would be unfair to compare flash to a pale white dude with a pube moe! (for the record, i am a MASSIVE bird fan, no harm in the pube mo comment).

Flash is something else! Maybe not MJ, but Damn, he is close enough!

Flash = Allen Iverson

Fast and playing above their weight division.

Yze_Magic - finally changed picture

actually i will agree about his handballing in the 2nd half, perhaps those two in the first half just have really stuck in my mind.

bobby, what was your opinion of his kicking throughout the whole match, and relative to each half?


Bruce - predictably butchered footy

I am a C Bruce bagger but hes game today was very good and argubly B.O.G with Miller, Woozer, Chook and Pavlich....

Well done C Bruce.. Again some poor diposal but you were very good overall..

However put some games together....

As i say 2 hot days dont make a summer.....

Deanox, I'll answer that one too. I kept a close eye on Cam throughout the game, as I dont believe that his disposal is as bad as its being made out to be. Yesterday (apart from those early errant handballs), his disposal was first rate. He did miss a gettable shot on goal after he caught Pavlich holding the ball, but his kicking during play was spot on.

 
Bell will probably be the one to make way fro Wrecker. And that's fair enough. There were only a couple of bad games from the demons yesterday.

Perhaps Bartram may be under some selection scrutiny.

Deanox,

I must say that dees rule 4eva has answered your question about Bruce's kicking. As he said, his shot at goal was poor but I thought he found his target with the great majority of his kicks. Basically, I too took special note of his much criticized disposals and I fully concur with demons rule 4eva. Maybe the skills coach is doing the job on Cam.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
