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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin
