You've actually done alright this week.

Grimes - calm and confident

Hooray, joeboy has seen the light! ;):lol:

Jamar - an outstanding return

Agreed. Great performance from the big man. Good in the hitouts, great in the contested situations and did some clever things with the handballs.

McLean - many ineffective possessions

Moloney - terrific in close

I actually think McLean is much cleaner both in close and in space. Moloney made a lot of really poor decisions by foot, and handballed to the opposition at least 2-3 times. Not his best game.

McLean was much better tonight, and he had 8 clearances again (the next best was Moloney, with 4).

a bit harsh on Sylvia i think, he was never going to repeat what he did last week, and gathering 20+ possies and a goal is a pass for me, and a big step in the right direction for him

Joeboy, i have never been one to disagree with your opinion vocally, but [censored] mate, that is a bad assessment.

Seems like with alot of young sides the starts of the 1st & 2nd halves are an issue. Not that we should be ok with that - have to get rid of it asap.

Jamar - an outstanding return

Johnson - not a rover

I agree with this in particular. Jamar has his obvious limitations, but if I had to choose, I'd choose 10 Jamar touches over 20 PJ touches every single time.

I thought Bell did enough to earn another crack next week.

Warnock did a fair job on Riewoldt under the circumstances, but I thought the smaller, faster Frawley did a better job in the last quarter. Our number 8 is seriously a dead set gem. If he doesn't win this year's most improved then the whole thing's rigged as far as I'm concerned.

I thought Bell was pretty good tonight, he got rid of the ball quickly and generally made good decisions. Awareness was better as he was never caught. Hopefully a stepping stone.

We must have got done by 120 points with that effort from the players

Posted

I'm not totally against Moloney's ball use in close, but was he not playing on Hayes? Furthermore, was he also playing on Lewis last week? Or was it Sewell? Either way, he has to learn a defensive game, as it's killing us going the other way.

Maybe yesterday... but in general? You MUST have your players mixed up.

PJ got twice as much of it, and yes used it much worse, but Jamar isn't even in the same league as PJ for disposal. PJ's pass to Frawley is the kind of thing Jamar dreams about doing.

Bate - killed by delivery

Bell -Some good efforts

Bennell - [censored] he's quick

Bruce -Loopy stupid handballs

Davey - Someone up bum

Frawley - What a legend

Green - Solid, no options

Grimes - What a delivery

Jamar - Most Impressive display

Johnson - Needs a position

Jones - Stop the beard

Maric - wow, wow, wow

Martin - Good up forward

McDonald -Needs a rest

McLean - Too bloody slow

Miller - Something is wrong

Moloney - Good but turnovers

Morton - Quietly unseen game

Rivers - Stemmed the flow

Sylvia - Good second effort

Warnock - Solid defensive effort

Whelan - Needs some help (an option to deliver to)

I didn't have the luxury of being able to see the game, but from 774's radio coverage (which was pretty crap, but I didn't want to risk getting worse coverage from MMM), it seemed as though Johnson, Bennell, Green and McLean played well. Having read the papers, it's obvious that Jamar had a good return as well.

Miller - was he there?

Grimes - the new General

Jamar's work in close, and his contested marking (not to mention his ability to actually win a ruck contest), makes him 10 times more valuable than PJ.

We have plenty of others capable of winning the ball in the middle and actually hitting targets more than once a game, we don't need another. What we need is contested marking around the ground, and getting first use of the ball through the middle. Jamar gives us both of these.

Neither are good enough though.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
