My 3 word player analysis V Port Flower

[Wiseblood 24,636]

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.

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

The difference is Joeboy has creativity.

I don't know about that.

Lets get back to discussing the disappointing game!

[joeboy 3,013]

I don't know about that.

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 !

[Wiseblood 24,636]

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"?

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!

[45HG 1,539]

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

Melbourne Football Club- Guaranteed priority pick!

just forget about this season, we get decent picks, unload more dead wood including Jamar and look forward to 09'

[beelzebub 22,743]

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 ?

I'm not happy about this.

It's no fun when someone describes our players as excrement.

Quite frankly, if that's YM's idea of fun, he/she can go play elsewhere and come back only when he/she grows up!

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.

[Adzman 2,086]

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 '

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

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.

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.

[maximum bob 462]

Pointless sniping.

Byron Pickett as one of your current 'faves' says it all.
