I disagree about Warnock. I thought he was poor.

Petterd: Always playing behind

Dunn: Too many errors

Sylvia : The Footy Show

Thats 3 different threads you have bagged Sylvia. I don't want these guys to get over-exposed or ahead of themselves either but I doubt appearing on a TV show 2 days earlier would effect how he played. He didn't get enough of the ball & missed a set shot but took some good grabs and was serviceable.

Nothing, but it's kind of joeboy's thing.

They usually generate a couple of pages of good discussion.

well i saw no-one had posted the 3 word analysis and i thought if no one will do it ill give my 2cents worth. sorry if i offended anyone..

Can anyone explain to me why Grimes kicked sideways almost every time he had the ball? Even right at the end of the game, when North Melbourne had the game won he went sideways when he could of attacked and he sprayed the kick too.

yeah i noticed that for alot of players - could it have been the dreaded GAMEPLAN? The same one we used in the glory days of 2008/09??

Damn well i can try...

Davey - some poor kicking

Green - a true leader

Moloney- 3 bad quarters

bruce - learn from scully

batram - did a job

garland - our best defender (today)

sylvia - poor game today

grimes - some dodgy disposal

trengove - missing at times (although its only his 5th game so he was fine really this 3 word thing is hard)

frawley - not as composed

mcdonald - could be better

bennell - not enough drive

rivers - fairly benign performance

macdonald - kicking needs work (specifically i mean stop kicking it into the man)

dunn - not doing enough

jamar - vital player again

bate - where was he?

warnock - some clangers today

jones - good disposal again

petterd - some class occasionally

martin- not good enough

I started reading this thread and thought that Joeboy's 3 word analysis had turned to crap, i then looked up and realized he didnt even start this rip off thread.

Lay off his turf!!

Thanks Tess - if it happens again I'll sue ( removes tongue from cheek )

Obvious instuction after 1/2 time was to spread the ball more, had to try something we were getting smashed up the middle, worked too

Quick fix:

Bruce- disappointing 2nd half

Sylvia- just not sharp

McDonald- safe and sure

Macdonald- too many mistakes

Jamar- big hearted improver

Scully- kid can play

    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,
