Featured Replies

Posted

Bartram - abysmal handling skills

Bate - waste of space

Bennell - on learning curve

Bruce - never gave up

Davey - continued excellent season

Dunn - was probably playing

Frawley - outstanding rebound game

Jetta - was rarely sighted

Johnson - good but limited

Jones - excellent in close

Martin - safe and secure

McDonald - a poor game

McLean - building on momentum

Meesen - provided good contest

Miller - had little impact

Moloney - probably our best

Morton - many unforced errors

Newton - waste of space

Petterd - tried but limited

Rivers - courageous and reliable

Sylvia - had little influence

Warnock - strong and resilient

 
 

Robbo will be a definite inclusion for next week, possibly for Juice. I think Jetta and Bennell need a rest in the magoos too.

Johnson - good but limited

He is only limited by a few things....

1. Can't kick

2. Can't handball

3. Can't take a clean grab

4. Can't hold onto the ball when it is given to him

5. Can't ruck

Other than that he is a great player! :lol:

It was a tough day for the big guys, but.......... :rolleyes: !!!

 

Spencer is so much more encouraging to watch than PJ who is a few beers short of a six pack at the moment! PJ needs to dominate a few games for Casey to learn how to play football again..... He has had 4 shockers in a row and yet he doesn't get dropped?!?!?!

Yes! Worst player on the field by a mile. He's a laughing stock.

jetta and bartram you mean. benny has been great

Newton - Worse than death

Dunn did end up kicking half our goals though, deserves some kind of credit

hahaha at all of you. Last week we were all praising sylvia and newton, and also saying give them time, now BANG!! all is forgotten and you want players dropped and that they are worse then death.

We were always going to be shyt this year. please stop expecting us to be champions

Hard to argue with this

Bartram - Can be excused for poor performance

Bate - Not a full forward

Bennell - Showing promise

Bruce - Made some really stupid mistakes

Davey - Very good season

Dunn - Must be played forward

Frawley - One of his best games

Jetta - Needs a run at Casey

Johnson - Poor skills today

Jones - Loves being stationary when calling for a handpass in congested situations

Martin - I love his work

McDonald - Relatively quiet day

McLean - Lacked polish

Meesen - Good effort

Miller - Poor

Moloney - Long kicking a treat

Morton - One of his worst games

Newton - Very poor

Petterd - Not a forward, looks much better down back

Rivers - Good as always

Sylvia - Still reveling in his second quarter last week

Warnock - Reliable again

Davey was our best. Great skills, worth being there just to watch his decision-making and ability at pin-point disposal.

Johnson's disposal was consistent and woeful. Jones is handball happy, giving and receiving. Usually to the wrong option. Frawley also can improve his disposal. McLean and Moloney were amongst our best.

Who is our best tackler? Most of our efforts today were brushed aside. We need to go straight at the player and pin him, not sideways kind-of half tackling and half trying to block his space.

And Newton... as Gough would say, "God save the queen, because nothing can save our Mr Newton"!

MFC = No forward line

Bartram - my condolences (how about you vultures bite your tongues for a week)

Bate - shocker x 3

Newton ditto

Bennell - enjoyed his game

Dunn - not that keen

Johnson - VFL Footballer

Jones - caught with sherrin

Morton - distance btw best and worst = nullabour

I question whether the following players can a) play in the wet and/or b. play football:

Morton

Bate

Newton

Johnson


My highlight of the day was Bennel's run down tackle, I don't think I've ever yelled out BAAAAAAAALL louder in my life...

Davey is the only person that should be allowed to kick the ball in our team, as AFL footballers our footskills are a complete farce.

Paul Johnson was terrible, for the 4th game in 5 weeks. Other than his nice lead-mark-play on, then bullet pass to the lead of Bate at the Punt rd end, he was shocking, with his decision making and in particular, ball-handling. Fumbles, losing balance, dropping chest marks, his game 'had it all'.

His ruckwork was adequate however- he spent less time in the ruck than Messen but was more competitive, ending up with more hitouts- but around the ground, which last year was his strength, and forward, he was useless again. Which really pains me to say because he's one of my favorites.

Not sure if he'll be dropped, but he is really starting to lose me.

Your normal three word analysis with your normal targets put down, it spoils what is usually a good assessment, perhaps once Bartram is not playing....he is a tagger....he did a great job AGAIN, your lovechild Wonna replaces Jetta, you must have looked away when he did that great tackle near the interchange and he ran all day, and Dunn........was our only forward.

Jones was horrible today,he went back to the end of last season, calling and taking the ball surrounded by opposition players and trying to crash through.

With Morton at least he works hard to get the footy, he is 19 runs hard he just needs to work on making the right choices. Watching Sylvia I don't think he was right yesterday, I saw him take a few tablets at quarter time and he seemed to spend a long time on the bench in the third quarter, in fact I don't think he came on until the 12 min mark and after a 10 touch second quarter that seemed strange.

We attack our forwards but our ball movement through the middle was very poor. Don't thing bombing it long to Robbo against 4 players will make much difference.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
