finding it hard to raise any enthusdiam on this one.

To be honest as so much occurred up the foggy end I found it hard to tell who was who at times..

I'll just chime in with an overview efoort.

Some of this disturbs me..lol.

Ooze did shine amongst that lot..that alone says it all really :blink: He was one of the few to actually manage any effect 6/10

I thought Johnson played a very honest game..he didnt get a lot of help did he. 7/10

Garland tried valiantly even if (again ) little support 6/10

what did come came from Matty W..who also seems to be improving..some of his decisions are well..hmm...could be better 5/10

again this irks me . If Im mentioning him, we're not going to well. Frosty actually does seem to be attempting to change his game 5/10 for effort. Stop looking to keep it half way backwards now , is this his new trade mark in stead of handball?? Get rid of it son.. otherwise..carry on with attempted transformation.

Aussie. tried hard all day I felt.Why wasnt he brought on the ball much earlier. He was wasted yesterday. 5/10

were any others really playing.. I couldnt tell..not until Brocky came on wearing his Jammies!!

Not Baters best day.

If most of them are going to play like that..stay home.. I could have !!

I am interested in everyone's assessment of Dunn. From what i can gather, he is being given a tagging role.

With Junior nearing the end, we have no midfield taggers, as Bartram tends to tag half backs/forwards, and is not physically up to tagging bigger midfielders. Every gun side in this competetion have at least a couple of stoppers on their team, and some of them early on in their careers never got much of the pill when they where applying themselves to this role(Kirk, Sewell, Rawlings, Cornes, etc).

Dunn tagged Hayes on Sunday, and i think you could mount an argument that out of all the Saints midfiedlers, Hayes had little influence. Although in the context of a 79 point drubbing in which we were smashed in the middle, it means little.

My point is though, no matter where we all think Dunn should be played, or how he should be played, if he has been given instructions from the coach to go out and try to stop an opposing influential midfielder, then he should be judged on that shouldn't he?

Early on I noticed one of our players give a handball but not run on to shepherd.

I thought this a bit strange so I made a point of keeping my eyes on the person giving the handball.

I was shocked to see that this happened a number of times.

This is something very basic as it gives the ball carrier an extra few metres.

Did anyone else notice this

Been doing to the exact same thing all year. Nothing surprising there

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
