My 3 word player analysis V The Beagles

I thought both Dunn and Petterd spent time on Le Cras, who got a couple of easy goals when left unattended.

I only remember Grimes giving up 1 goal from a direct one-on-one battle with him?? Although it was hard to tell, because the defence became a bit of a mess once Frawley and Rivers finished up.

Does Jack Grimes' kick in turnover count to his disposal efficiency? Unless the defender plays on he doesn't receive a kick in his stat count when kicking out after a behind.

For a 2nd gamer Grimes was very good under a lot of heavy fire. The West Coast forward line had much better service than ours.

    I thought Frawley was on LeCras then Grimes went onto him and he cut loose.

    Bate was infinitely better on Sunday than he's been in almost any other game this year , thus my ' optimism ' that he may have turned the corner .

    IMO Bruce was outstanding on Sunday , and yes he made a few errors , NOT ' turning the ball over constantly ' .

    The outstanding aspect of Grimes' game on Sunday was that he turned the ball over at crucial times . I haven't denigrated his overall performance on the day but merely referred to the standout aspect of his game in my 3 word analysis

    Sorry, but herein lies the problem with the three word analysis.

    Some of you will be glad to know this is my final post.

    I have been warned that I shouldn't flame or troll posters.

    So I won't

    MFC had 22 then 20 players that busted a gut for four quarters, most made a clanger or two and were desperately unlucky not to come away with a well deserved win.

    But obviously there is no pleasing some people, as the criticism immediately rears it head again.

    It is a very sad state of affairs.

    I for one watched the game and came away satisified that everybody put in, that's all I need and can now look forward to the Bulldogs game

    Hope you reconsider your situation 'Petjudhome'. As I said before in a recent post you bring a lot of sanity and fair-mindedness to this forum. Keep expounding your thoughts without criticising other posters.

    Doesnt it say something about the patience of our Coaching staff when Addam Maric had a horror run last week and they left him on the ground & openly encouraged him to work his way through it. Rewards came this week.

    Moloney would be sensational if he kicked the ball half as high as he does, inclined to "bomb"it a bit. Cannot fault his committment.

    Did like Bennell & Grimes.

    Matty Warnock is quietly becoming a nver valuable player down back. Near top 1% each week. Need blokes like him and Frawley & Rivers.

    Quietly worried about Brock Mac's pace.Still admire his grunt.

    We still need to improve our "single grab"possession rate. Geelong get away with their game by eliminating fumbles.

    Sure, but I do think it's easy to be patient when you're in Melbourne's situation - there's nothing to lose.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
