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??

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

warnock - some clangers today

jones - good disposal again

petterd - some class occasionally

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:

Sylvia- just not sharp

McDonald- safe and sure

Macdonald- too many mistakes

Jamar- big hearted improver

Scully- kid can play

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
