Martin - rarely bothered scorers

Because he played big chunks of the game in the ruck... :blink:

Morton - played without passion

What the hell?

He had a good game, took some good contested marks, and made the most of every one of his opportunities.

To label a player passionless is so silly, particularly a 19 year old who has not put a foot wrong since debut.

Grimes - kicking a concern

Fluffed one kick badly, but this kid operates under pressure constantly and hardly turns it over.

A player who has kicking concerns does not take the kick-outs every single time.

You need to leave your preconceptions at the door when you go to watch these games. Judge the players on their game, not your opinion of them.

With appropriate adjustments for your prejudices against Bate, Bennell, Bate, Jetta, Bate, Morton & Bate, it's pretty good. Not that these players were great, but I thought they all made a solid contribution.

IMO considering the lack of contribution from Davey & McLean (who were tagged by the best in the business) and McDonald & Jones & Moloney (who weren't -the best thing that can be said about our midfield today is that we're one game closer to Scully!), it was a reasonable effort. Especially given the Cats' charity goals (in front of the home crowd) & junktime goals.

Does anybody still think Cats will play off in GF? Saints vs Dogs for mine.

McLean was dreadful today.

Thought a bit harsh on Morton who played a reasonable game, Bate, who did alright under the circumstances, and Jetta, who was one of our best in the 1st half. A bit generous to Dunn too i thought, he was just average at best today IMO.

Not the Dogs. They still lack a spine, and against the best teams it's going to kill them. Pies, Bombers or Lions are all a better bed for the GF.

To start, I didn't see any footy today. But I don't agree that Footscray are not real.

In general terms, I think their defence is under-rated. (especially the attacking bit). For mine, Lindsay Gilbee is a star. Given the unchallenged logic that defence wins finals, I think they are well placed.

Their ball carrying and skill levels are as good as anyone.

Concerned about their ruck combo in finals. Minson is a spas and the Adelaide bloke is average.

But they have a nice lightweight, skilled look about them. I think they will go very deep into the finals and are an outside chance of winning.

I wasn't referring to his goal scoring !

What the hell?

To label a player passionless is so silly, particularly a 19 year old who has not put a foot wrong since debut.

He definitely looked to be playing without passion despite picking up meaningless possessions in junk time , which was pretty much the entire game after the 1st quarter . His game was devoid of desperation , attack on the ball when it was in dispute , and any anxiousness to move the ball on quickly .

I am always critical of players , like Morton ( and Bate ) who have natural talent to burn , but use their skills invariably for evil and not good .

Fair enough Dog. Didn't see it and could be that I just don't like him.

Punchable head imo.

Agree re: punchable head. LOL

To be honest, i've never really liked or rated Minson (or Hudson) all that much either, but Minson's influence on the game last night could not be questioned. Uncharacteristically, his foot skills and decision-making were very clean, and he setup up at least 3 or 4 shots on goal thru penetrating kicks inside 50. Not to mention strong marks around the ground. I haven't seen stats from that match, but wouldn't be surprised if he got over 20 disposals, majority effective.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
