My 3 word player analysis V The Bullfrogs


joeboy

Recommended Posts

Murphy had 7 kicks on him in the first quarter and Akermanis kicked most of his goals on him too !

It WAS a game to forget .

I very much doubt when we have the likes of Garland, Frawley and Rivers back in our team, that Grimes would have a matchup with the other teams best small forwards.

Even so, there have been players with much more than 2 games experience who have been torched by those players.

Great analysis.

thanks. if you are being sarcastic, im not sure why. tat is my 3 word summary of his game. did he do much else? not really. did he need too? no. he is a third or 4th gamer learning the craft. he spends most of his time in the forward pocket. if he kicked 2 every week id be stoked, despite what else he did.

Dunn should have been dropped, and really, really, really should be dropped this week.

Agree. What position does he play exactly???

Just doesn't get enough footy to play as a wingman, has no influence in marking contests so can't play tall. 12 disposals playing midfield on a weekly basis just isnt enough. Did he do a tag this week? I barely noticed him at all.

I really hope his spot is taken by a younger player (Bennell, Jetta, McNamara) next week. I've seen enough of Dunn.

I agree .

I am not denigrating the boy - he has a great future , but he WAS torched today . [censored] happens .

dude, how the hell can you make comments on the game if you didn't even go? you posted at 4.44pm..the game finished at 4.45pm. bloody joke. your comments show that you have no idea about footy and didnt even go and support them by rocking up today. Here is my 3 word analysis from someone that actually went to the game:

Bartram - tackled and hassled

Bate - 4 goals straight

Bruce - prolific and effective

Cheney - good overhead marking

Davey - great despite clangers

Dunn - found some space

Grimes - loose ball gets

Johnson - great despite hitouts

Jones - goal main highlight

Maric - 2 easy goals

Martin - Many high spoils

McDonald - Many quick clearances

McLean - great in close

Miller - made no mistakes

Moloney - great. handball happy

Morton - Great despite smother (costly!)

Petterd - always looked dangerous

Robertson - contested and rewarded

Sylvia - had great fundamentals

Warnock - hardly noticed him

Whelan - best small defender

Valenti - good goal assist

Hey Frock , I live 10 minutes from the ground and can assure you that I was at the game . I do admit however that I left with 12 minutes to go , precisely when Davey lobbed the ball right into Aker's lap in front of goal .

Thank you , however , for paying so much attention to my movements .

Can you please tell me which of my comments show that I have no idea about football , whilst you , on the other hand , are all knowing ?

Why would u leave with 12 mins to go when u live 10 mins from the ground? We were still in it... right til the very end. In all likeliness, had the game gone for 5 more mins we probably would have got up.

Weak effort joeboy. :o

If you hardly noticed Warnock than you should open your eyes because he was great and he's been great all year.

LOL ! Fair enough... :lol:

Obviously none of my beeswax, but, when you've been as bad as we've been for so long, games where the margin is 3 goals or less at the 15-20 min mark of the final term, against a finals-bound team, are like gold!

I know i wasn't gonna be leaving until i heard the siren. But when u gotta go, you gotta go, i guess! ;)

Well for starters, your comments on Jack Grimes beggar belief.

In for your quick snipe with absolutely nothing more to offer. Another truly informative and thought provoking post. Keep up the good work Bob

And further to Joeboy's erratic assessment:

Bate - best game this year, although a lot of room for improvement granted. Look forward to seeing him on a HFF with a settled and competent forward structure not to mention delivery.

Morton - enjoy watching him now, enjoy it more with another two years experience. He'll garner Brownlow votes.

Grimes - third game FFS. Whoops! He made a few errors against a relatively star-studded team. Couldn't fault his natural ability and passion to belong at the highest level however.

The horse goes before the cart Joeboy, or hadn't you noticed.

I am excited by Grimes, already looks like he belongs. Quality of disposal is great and he is quick.

Morton always knows where to be and gets a lot of the footy. He turned it over a few times, but for the most part seems to have plenty of time and has the ability to create space.

Joeboy I've just watched the replay of the first quarter. Grimes played on Hahn, Murphy and Johnson at different times. The backline rotate depending on matchups. Morton started on Murphy and was on him a number of times when he got the ball.

Grimes lacks physical strength and was worked off the ball by stronger opponents today on more than one occasion. I thought your three word analysis of him last week was harsh but fair. Your assessment of him today is, as you say, one to forget.

well i for one isn't a big wrap for grimes kicking..his drop of the ball is awkward. Anyway, his overhead marking ability is fantastic, like cheney. in fact he is very similar to cheney i reckon. Also with Rivers, Frawley and Garland back. I think Grimes and Cheney will be made to look even better.

    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
