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:

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?!?!?!

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.

    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
