Frawley - devoid of presence

Garland - continued his renaissance

Green - needs more consistency

Johnson - some exciting moments

Jones - feeling the pressure

McDonald - just a shadow

McLean - more was required

Miller - tried but limited

Moloney - persistent but erratic

Robertson - insignificant before calamity

Sylvia - just a game

Warnock - a pleasing performance

Wheatley - easily our best

White - stagnant and ineffectual

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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
