We were very poor today.

But these three word analysis things have degenerated into nothing more than a weekly slagging, with very poor aim.

I'm not going to bother trying to start arguments about particular ones, these threads are just about a write off now.

Newton - No work ethic

did you watch him play, or just copy your assesment from a couple of weeks ago?

he chased hard all day (when he was on the ground), he chased players up the centre of the ground. he ran from player to player in the forward line when port passed it around. he twice had the ball and looked for teammates to centre it to - once it resulted in a goal. when he leads he is ignored. when he is standing one on one the ball is kicked to the wrong side.

he gets terrible service and rarely looked like taking a mark, but kept chasing all day. he got good service once, and he marked and kicked a goal.

Newton was great today. Not normally a fan but I thought he stepped up. Defensive pressure is about 40% of a forwards job these days and Juice was fantastic in that aspect today.

I didnt see him lay more than 2 tackles to be honest. The service isnt great, sure, but he doesnt make much of most it.

he might not have made any tackles, but a 6 foot 6 tall forward is not your tackle man. he chased and put pressure on rather than just standing there like other players have/will/did. i thought he had an average day. but his role is to have the ball kicked to him. when we kick as badly as we do, it gives him a pretty hard job.

i know i am comparing him to players who are well out of his league (and i am not saying he could tie these players boot laces), but i dont think that players like richo (2 years ago), neita, gerhig, roughhead, etc would have done any better today than he did. maybe they would have imposed their bodies on the contest more. but none of those players (who play/ed a similar role imo) would have laid more tackles or chased as much as he did today. and given the service and the game time he recieved, i cant imagine too many of those players would have kicked more goals either.

I like Juice, he would be fantastic in the right team and some of your points are very valid.

You must stop making excuses for his poor performance though. Weather it be because of poor service or whatever, he played poorly. End of.

The service to the forward line was at worst non-existent, at best scrappy......

That being said none of the forwards were able to put any kind of print on the game, and Newton really needs a hell of a lot of work.

He was there abouts for parts of the game, but he doesn't seem to work hard enough especially in defence.

And when the ball gets below his feet, or isn't delivered on a dime, well its not particularly pretty.

Exactly what was wrong with my post?

Or did the naughty word offend you? Sorry, kiddo.

Come on YM, despite a sad level of accuracy to your summation, not everyone wants to see that......

I'm sure somewhere in there you can understand that, at least a little ;) !!!

It's no different to Joeboy's tripe... he just uses different language. Some people can be just a little too touchy sometimes... ;)

That being said, what did we all expect? We SUCK at AAMI no matter what side we send over and this was no exception. I had no expectations for the game and we played exactly as I thought we would. It's just another game for some of our young kids and we have one more game before Bailey gets to cull the list, gain some more quality kids and look to improve in 2009. You guys were kidding yourselves if you expected us to play any better today.

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.

Oh I wasn't criticising, I thought it was an accurate summation of what we saw today :P !!!

Just pointing out that not everyone......nevermind it really is completely and totally unimportant.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
