Was this the game we won??? I think you need another holiday.

Cheney was very poor IMO. He loses his man on the lead too often and his disposal is ordinary.

Very harsh on Frawley. He was actually struggling with soreness too.


You have blotted your copybook here, Joeboy.

"A lot to learn" is four words!

Very harsh on Frawley, Bate, Martin, Davey and Spencer.

What game was he watching.

So I cheated !

Martin - little to enthuse

Showed some real athletic ablitity with spins, turns and dodges. It was enough for me to see that he can only get better.

And that tap to LJ was magnificent!

He is very athletic and quick for someone who is about 200cm tall, and his kicking is really improving.

Just think how little time he has spent learning the 3 positions he has found himself playing this year, and you can see how remarkable he is in his ability to adapt.

rough on davey, picked it up after half time.. such a sweet kick

frawley was good until got shifted off fev, thats when fev turned it on

jordie mckenzie scared me every time he got the ball

bate was ok.. not a game to forget imo... got alot of the ball and most of the time used it pretty well

You're way too harsh on Frawley. He was great today and had the umpires not been playing for the Blues would have had even better numbers. You need to remember that the three goal burst by Fev was while Frawley was on the bench.

Bate was one of our better players for mine. He wasn't a star, but he was pretty solid all day which is more than most can say.

Martin was great. He took the no. 1 ruck role and did a great job both at bounces and around the ground. His disposal is improving too.

You obviously were at a different game mate. Really hard on Bate and others. Open your eyes.

Bate - game to forget - harsh. Very harsh. Thought he presented well and was busy all day.

Cheney - steady but unobtrusive - don't mean to be mean, but I thought he wasn't as good as he has been.

Davey - couldn't break shackles - Actually, he did didn't he? I think he had something like 20 touches after half time.

Frawley - tried but failed - when he was on him, he did quite well didn't he?

Petterd - insignificant until injured - ??? He was hurt within minutes wasn't he?

Valenti - short , little else - Now now...

Love your work Joeboy. Not your best week though.

On reflection ,the only one I may have been a little harsh on was Frawley , but, in my defence , whilst he did keep Fevola to 2 goals in the first half , I suspect that it was more to do with the poor delivery to the Flues' player rather than Frawley's successful 'stopping' .

Bate - was running in circles most of the time IMO and his disposal was poor .

Davey - broke the shackles in the last quarter when the game was already lost and he was given free reign in the back line without a Joseph tag .

Valenti - had little impact as an on baller , and could make no impact with his kicking or handballs .

Cheney - the comments were for today's game , not previous ones .

Fair enough. I'll reword the Cheney.

Frustrated a little. In other words, I reckon he can and has done better... Though again, on reflection, he was up against it on a hard day for defenders.

Cheney: to the twos

Rivers : to the twos

Jetta - rising star nomination?

Against Garlett? Not a hope. But a bloody good game from the Jet and a good sign of things to come.


"Morton - beaten by midget"

[sigh]

I take it that means you didn't notice Garlett kicked two of his goals on Sylvia, and another on Rivers? (Yes Rivers - caught in a mismatch on rotation.)

Nice exercise, very very poorly executed. Bate was ok, Cheney poor, Martin encouraging and Davey to be applauded for not throwing the towel in, as he would have once.

Spencer is tall though, I'll grant you that ;)

Against Garlett? Not a hope. But a bloody good game from the Jet and a good sign of things to come.

Yeah, I figured he has one game left.

He has some obvious weaknesses but he's starting to look very composed in traffic. He's a bonus as far as I'm concerned. He'll be a very intersting one to watch over the next couple of seasons.

Very harsh here. Bate was pretty good. Played midfield more than forward, when he really should be spending more time at HF.

Thought Frawley was very good on Fev. Most of Fev's good stuff came when McNamara was on him.

 

Frawley has had a great season IMO, deserves a good finish in our B&F.

I suspect that it was more to do with the poor delivery to the Flues' player rather than Frawley's successful 'stopping' .

What absolute crock of [censored].

If the Blues gave great delivery to Fev, not even Glass, Rutten, Silvagni, Jackovich, Scarlett style combined super Full back could've stop Fev.

A good defender wins 50/50 contests. It's impossible to stop quality forwards when they get quality service.

Frawley beat Fevola in the 50/50 contests.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
