Epic Fail Thread.

No but seriously I'll miss reading your posts Joeboy. Perhaps we can start an "epic fail of the week" thread in your absence? I'm sure this last few rounds are going to be brilliant quality football. It would be fun to point out the biggest stuff up of the week :D (and lets hope it's not winning...)

I'll remind you of that on Sunday.

It's going to be a great concept, and much like the 3 word analysis will catch on. Bring your visual aids! :D

I will be taking over the 3 word analysis from now on.

The decision is final.

Travis - your thread starts and ends with Newton (possibly a few consolations).

Whelan - kicked great goal

Jurrah - took great mark

Miller - easy shots missed

Newton - missed easy shot

Moloney - doesn't shut up

Mackenzie - had good debut

Bruce - has poor disposal

Davey - kicking a worry?

Valenti - started at FF

Morton - shut down champ

Bartram - very good game

45hotgod - was not cold

Ricky P - finding his feet

we are still waiting YM :unsure:

I know most won't really care , but my weekly thread will not appear for the next 3 weeks as I'll be tanking it overseas .

Anyone is welcome to take over in my absence .

Hopefully when you get back we have the PP wraped up. I wish I could take off for 3 weeks, I cant handle all this tanking and wanting us to lose even though I know its for the best.

Completely forgot to do this but really this game completely lacked in passion. We wanted to lose and everyone knew we wanted to lose. Guys were played out of position like Morton, any analysis completed on this game is largely irrelevant.

Morton out of position?? Bailey played him on goodes, i think he was perfect fit for the role, tall, can match him around the ground! Thought it was a great coaching move!

Morton tagging is out of position for a HBF/wingman.

Did a good job but played out of position.

Explained.

You're both right and wrong. Morton was played in a different position to usual, not a wrong position, and did well in it. It showed me that Morton has the ability to play more than one end of the ground. It also showed me that Bailey is willing to move players around the ground at the expense of winning the game.

The game did lack passion, though.

Yeah point taken. Bailey is clearly playing them in unfamiliar roles to improve their skills (and to tank). Morton is a good example. His strength is running up and down the wing racking up touches and creating play, tagging a player of Goodes' ability wouldn't be a role that he's had to do much before. I think he did very well, but Bailey is clearly not coaching to win, he's coaching for the future, and I love it.

Joeboy - enjoy those analyses

...they make me think. Have a great trip, safe return. Shalom.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
