Featured Replies

Posted

Bartram - loose and reckless

Bate - abysmal forward pressure

Bruce - our only winner

Buckley - tried but failed

Carroll - justified his return

Dunn - still learning role

Frawley - little to commend

Green - just a game

C.Johnson - not as prolific

P.Johnson - effective but limited

Jones - very little impact

McDonald - battled overwhelming odds

Maric - exciting and talented

Martin - out of depth

Morton - poor when pressured

Sylvia - tried but limited

Warnock - tried but failed

Wheatley - disposal was disappointing

Whelan - reliable as expected

White - age has wearied

Valenti - burrowed and persevered

Wonaeamirri - a poor game

 
Buckley - tried but failed

He fustrated me more than any other player tonight. Everytime he got the ball, he ran twenty metres then either turned it over by foot or hand.

Maric - exciting and talented

On a positive side Maric looks very calm under pressure and his skills in the wet were great.

i thought Martin showed a bit

 

I missed the game tonight, and after seeing the score didnt miss much, we were obviously beaten in every postion

you gotta give the guy some credit though, yes he turns it over at times but when he breaks the lines it's really the only time we look like doing something creative. he will be a key part of our future imo.

Bartram - mentally needs break

Bate - abysmal lateral movement

Bruce - butchered the ball

Buckley - proactive but flawed

Carroll - awful awful awful

Dunn - ineffective at best

Frawley - lots to learn

Green - did not lead

C.Johnson - not as prolific

P.Johnson - held his own

Jones - wasteful and overwhelmed

McDonald - tried, fundamentally flawed

Maric - intangibles top notch

Martin - showed some touch

Morton - conditions didn't suit

Sylvia - competed all night

Warnock - out of depth

Wheatley - game was disappointing

Whelan - a shining beacon

White - shouldn't have played

Valenti - luck and perseverance

Wonaeamirri - a disgusting game

 

Bartram - hardest job in football

Bate - not a KPP

Bruce - hard but flawed

Buckley - does too much

Carroll - 2nd rate defender

Dunn - doesnt work both-ways

Frawley - mistakes, promising glimpses

Green - no direct opponent

C.Johnson - down on output

P.Johnson - invisible at stoppages

Jones - needs better disposal (or 'needs a hand')

McDonald - age wearies him

Maric - let down by teammates

Martin - strong in the air

Morton - improved disposal

Sylvia - needs a preseason

Warnock - backup defender only

Wheatley - long kicks nowhere

Whelan - typical wheelan game

White - games gone by

Valenti - bled red n blue

Wonaeamirri - injured by halftime

Whelan can hold his head up high.

Junior tries as always, but he is just not that good.

Maric and Martin are the only two reasons why I stuck it out till three quarter time despite being extremely sick (wasn't gonna miss two games in a row, despite spending last Friday afternoon in hospital).

Carroll is terrible, and White played like he couldn't care less. Bruce's first half was poor as well, but at least he got better in the third.


P.Johnson - effective but limited

at least there's one thing, that he came away with a nomination for Goal of the Year...

despite being extremely sick (wasn't gonna miss two games in a row, despite spending last Friday afternoon in hospital).

Hope you feel better soon and that it wasn't too serious.

I'll vomit if he evers plays for the MFC again.

Bucks, not the greatest of games but there were many others, when he tries to break, our boys don't work off the ball for him and shepherd. The Geelong players do in spades. Look at Selwood and others like Kelly and Bartel, they shepherd and give their teammate space to run into. Our boys don't work as hard off the ball to create.

carroll is finished.

Totally agree. Clumsy & indecisive. Evertime he kicks or handballs the ball he "telegraphs" it and the opposition know what he is going to do, then they close it down when the possession is in transit. What happens then? Turnover. Goal.

Bartram - hardest job in football

I agree deanox.

Every one.

A couple of additions: -

Bartram - tries his best

Bate - not a KPP (yep)

Bruce - did a good job on stevie johnson

Buckley - must improve reflexes

Carroll - clumsy awkward & indecisive

Dunn - doesnt work both-ways - (yep - good defensively)

Frawley - mistakes, promising glimpses

Green - no direct opponent (no right foot)

C.Johnson - down on output

P.Johnson - invisible at stoppages

Jones - needs better disposal (or 'needs a hand')

McDonald - age wearies him (blue collar worker)

Maric - showed footy smarts

Martin - strong in the air

Morton - improved disposal

Sylvia - needs a preseason (Definitely) - IMO he should of been put on Ablett - so G.Ablett would teach him a thing or too.

Warnock - backup defender only

Wheatley - long kicks nowhere

Whelan - typical wheelan game

White - games gone by (not accountable - yet still - only worries about his opponent)

Valenti - bled red n blue (Is it me, or was he the one who showed the most strength out there for Mfc?)

Wonaeamirri - injured by halftime (all at sea)

Whelan can hold his head up high.

Junior tries as always, but he is just not that good.

Carroll is terrible, and White played like he couldn't care less. Bruce's first half was poor as well, but at least he got better in the third.

Bruce kept S.Johnson very quiet, but it didnt worry the Cats who kept the Dees scoreless in 1st quarter. White back to Sandy.

I'll vomit if he evers plays for the MFC again.

Make that two.

Im dissapointed with a few players.

Wonaemirri was disgraceful tonight. It seemed although he was cherry-picking. Not doing the hard yards but instead hanging off at the back of packs. This isnt acceptable IMO.

I love Bartrams comittment, but he simply just isnt clean enough by both hand and foot.

:lol: he'll probably play next week as Garland is out for a couple :lol:

it was a shyte slippery night, skills are going to be down especially young blokes skills

Indeed. Carroll is OK. No stand out but I dont think some of the comments made about him on Demonland are justified.

Hope you feel better soon and that it wasn't too serious.

Thanks.

Still suffering the affects of a concussion, which probably explains why I wrote Sunday instead of Friday.

Too bad the concussion won't make me forget the way we played tonight :rolleyes::rolleyes:


I agree that White was utterly crap, but I don't think there was any signs of him not caring. That's extremely insulting to him IMO.

I recognise the fantastic contribution Jeff White has made to the Melbourne Football Club over a long period of time, but last night he just did not care to be out there.

Watching it on TV, as I assume you were, you wouldn't have seen what he was doing off the ball, or rather, what he wasn't doing. Didn't bother chasing, didn't go in hard enough, just did the bare minimum required. He knows he's gone in 3 rounds, and so I can kind of understand why he wouldn't have enjoyed being out there in the rain getting smashed. Still would have been nice for him to show a bit more urgency, given this may well have been his last game.

He also had just 11 hitouts, 0% to advantage.

PJ has 10 hitouts, 50% to advantage.

Bring back Jamar! :o

in defence of aussie, he was injurede in the first half, couldnt walk, was helped off the field, they worked on him for a bit, he went off down the race with medicos and didnt come back on until the second half, when he never got going. he clearly wasnt right.

did anyone else notice our rotations? they were over the top last night. makes me think a few of them wernt fit enough to run out the game...

White - Last AFL game

i really hope jeff white wasn't thinking like that. guys that don't care or don't put in or don't play for the jumper should be weeded out of our football club, jeff white or any player on the list regardless of their level of development.

i was soo disappointed with the way white played last night. i understand he is close to the end, but , to get another opportunity (probably last) and to dish up that rubbish was absolutley pathetic from an experienced player. i have never regarded white as a champion, he's been a very good footballer for the melbourne football club. after a performance like last night i've lost significant respect for him.

I agree that White was utterly crap, but I don't think there was any signs of him not caring. That's extremely insulting to him IMO.

If you were there, you would have seen that he didn't care.

If he cared he wouldn't have been jogging around in circles with his hands in the air calling for the ball.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
