Joel MacDonald Vs C.Johnson

Put it this way Joels game on Saturday was still better than the best came CJ played for our club.

I disagree.

However, I think that while he probably isn't as neat with the footy as CJ I'd back him to provide more of a contest, and he reads the ball well in the air.

    If CJ was under anywhere the same pressure that Joel Mac was under against the Hawks on Saturday he would have capitulated IMHO.

    he has only played 1 game for us Ffs. He was a better defender then Merrett at lions. Havent seen Cj play at Blues,he was a fringe player for us

    The only thing we have left....I was rather disappointed with the angle the Water Person situated at the Ponsford end was carrying the bottle, he could have accidentally spilt it on the players, I hope when they review the tape, they are instructed the best way to carry it............double sigh

    But couldn't we put a drink tube in so the water won't splash??

    J.Mac or CJ

    For me CJ, better skills and gets more of the footy.

    Not convinced on J.Mac would not get a game at a top club, skills are not great and shouldn't be in contention for a game with Melb when or if we ever are challenging for the top four.

    Yes we got him for nothing but i would of rathered someone else.

    You think Joel can't get a game for a top club???? He played 22 for a semi-finalist last year...

    Chris Johnson couldn't get a run for a wooden spooner.

    Pretty ordinary argument.

    45, average touches a game? This is the most useless stat in all of footy.

    When will somebody realise this..

    I was responding to this: "For me CJ, better skills and gets more of the footy."

    If you have a better stat to show that CJ, in fact, doesn't get more of the footy - feel free to share it.

    I am told (by the management of Carlton) that CJ is on his last legs.

    He has recurring back related hammy problem.

    Wonder if it is a little hereditary ? (speculating) I recall AJ having a few hammy problems. I recall when he tore a hamstring ~ in front of the Ponsford, it looked as though he'd been shot in the leg.

    How many people on here can honestly say they paid attention to his games at Brisbane?

    I did. For this same reason: -

    Actually I did as he was in my dream team. I enjoyed watching him at Brisbane and I was pretty happy when we drafted him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
