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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
