My 3 word player analysis V Port Flower

i think those that follow him from thread to thread taking a shot at what he wrote, and trying to draw the mods attention to what he wrote are more annoying that he is.

it is a distinct possibility that tez is no more than yze_magic in disguise. the only thing he/she ever does is have shots at yze_magic, and occasionally others.

That's because they are one of two things:

1. - They have FAR too much time on their hands or

2. - They have nothing better to contribute.

Every board has them.

Hey Nosebleed , what's your problem with my comments ?

Why do you refer to them as 'tripe' ? If you don't care for my comments then don't read them !

Because they either state the complete obvious or they are completely wrong. For example:

To say Stef Martin looked "lost", yet Warnock "tried" is wrong. Not only is it wrong to say that Warnock tried but Martin didn't, but no backline would have stemmed the flow today. Did you put this into perspective? Obviously not.

Same goes for the forwards. You get stuck into Newton and Bate, yet the disposal to them was TERRIBLE all day. What do you expect them to do? Forwards rely on good deilvery and even though they didn't get it today, both at least made an effort to provide a contest, Newton especially. Again, no perspective. Sure they didn't get much of it and they only kicked a goal each, but they didn't exactly get decent deilvery.

At least you got stuck into our midfield, which as always was horrible. Happy now... joe"girl"? :rolleyes:

I think some of you have it so wrong on Bell and are letting your biases against him show. Although, I don't think we actually had any players who genuinely played a good game, I think Bell was our best. He did make mistakes but was ok with the ball (no worse than most of the team) and shut out Ebert then didn't do too badly on Motlop, who was dominating everyone else. Going by Bailey's comments post game it seems he also thinks Bell did a reasonable job - so take the blinkers off!

godees, clearly you haven't realised that not only is Bell the cause for our predicament, he is the cause of all Burmese political troubles, the death of John Lennon and the Wall Street crash

A pretty fair summation there :)

Pretty amazing that when you look at the club at the end of the H & A 07..and compare then to whomever will comprise the club at start of season 09, at all levels, then who ever is on both lists is very much in the minority.. Thats one mighty big change.

Has any club undergone such a holistic transfusion in such a short time I wonder ?

Well 'nosebleed' , if I wanted to write an essay on the merits or otherwise of each player's performance then I'd be wasting space and energy so I restrict myself to 3 words for brevity , and to provide WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE ,the overall sense of the players' performances ON THE DAY - note the thread's title .

There are 3 things you can do now as far as I'm concerned :

- offer to pay me MORE for this weekly 'tripe'and I promise I'll agree with your summation of each player's performance .

- don't offer me the Archibald Prize .

- don't read the 'tripe ' again and just present your own breakaway analysis.

This is where pick #1 will be a cinch - Nick Natanui (spelling correct?) Warnock, Natanui in the ruck, with PJ a resting forward.

You know, I've never looked forward to the draft - but this year's will be a beauty.

One of the worst games I have seen the MFC play.

Sure, we will get a good top up with 3 early picks, but the triuth is we are still a very long way off being anything special anytime in the next year or two.

At least make your 3 words for "brevity" accurate. I bet you feel important being able to provide your "analysis" after each game though, so hey, go right ahead. And for the record... I'll read what I please, even if it means sifting through your tripe.

Don't you mean 'make your 3 word analysis agree with my point of view' ?

Thanks for taking the time out of your important day to read my'tripe '

I wouldn't say Bell had a good game, but he was far from our worst. I thought he started off okay, and he looked a bit better offensively, particularly early. Kept Ebert fairly quiet, too?

Pretty tough on Martin too, IMO.

And thanks for stopping by once a week to write it and contribute little else.

You're welcome

In my totally unimportant opinion, petty arguments like these are worse for the forum than a [censored] off supporter venting a little four-letter steam about some poorly performed players in a team he loves.

How about you make your comments relevent?

Whilst I don't always agree with Joeboy's analysis it has been a feature of this site for years now and is one of the few threads I read.

The benefits of Joeboys comments is that they have the potential to open a whole range of football discussion issue.

Please stick to commenting on footy. If you don't like the thread, simply don't read it.

Thanks.

Of course we are. Club officials have said that they're planning for 3-5 years as a realistic timeframe for finals, 5-7 for flag tilt.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
