My 3 word player analysis V The Swine Flues

August 23, 200915 yr

Good call jacey. I thought Frawley did very well, although 7 goals to his opponent definitely makes his performance seem worse than it was, no doubt.

Unlucky for young Chip, should finish top 5 in the b&f this year i reckon.

Can someone clear this up for me. How much time did Frawley play on him compared to McNamara? On which player were the goals kicked?

IIRC, Fev who had 2 goals up to then got 3 goals on T-Mac in the second quarter in quick succession - from a soft-as-melted-butter free 20m out, then a miskicked helicopter from 50m on the boundary which floated through, then the dribbled goal from the boundary while being pushed off balance. He also gave away a goal from that equally soft free against Cheney.

He got another 2 after that, probably on Frawley, but these 3 were the gamebreakers. Frawley definitely had the better of him before then, but I think that when within about 10 minutes Fev got two of the softest frees he's probably had in his whole career within 20 metres of goal, then shanked a very difficult shot which went through, he knew it was going to be his day.

Don't know that Chip would have been able to make a difference for any of these.

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.

Not surprised if you didnt notice when Frawley was taken off Fev. DB had to do it twice before Carltank woke up to the move!!! first time they took Fev off to the bench too and he didn't get 1 goal on McNamara! Perhaps because we were ony 6 rows back???? Nice one DB very subtle countermove. Forced when trying to hide our best ruckman at full forward backfired when the Russian could not kick a behind to save himself!

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.

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

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.
