Bartram - was rarely sighted

Bate - selfish and pedestrian

Bennell - occasional classy moves

Bruce - mistakes but passionate

Davey - erred but thrilling

Dunn - career best game

Frawley - let nothing through

Green - couldn't gain momentum

Jamar - successfully broke even

Johnson - finally earned role

Jones - tough and relentless

Jurrah - thrilling but lazy

MacDonald - one of best

Moloney - poor until injured

Morton - needs caffeine tablets

Rivers - finding feet again

Scully - impressive relentless running

It's too unpredictable.

Dunn wasn't that good.

His opponent , arguably one of the best players in the competition , had 6 kicks !


Do you mean Watts will be nominated for Tool of the Week for missing high pressure set shot? I still can't believe how much he struggles under pressure! Very Brighton Grammar like

Which one? The one on 3/4 time or the one in the last? He is getting among it more and more but geez he made some ordinary errors.

I liked the Morton one. Garland one might have been a touch harsh.

Otherwise, having a good year Joeboy.

Oh... And you know as well as I do Watts won't be nominated. Liked his game, except the kicking, but you know the mugs that nominate won't allow it after a loss. I think there might have been a small forward in the WC/Dons game that might pip him.

Both, this is the reason why i think he is lucky to be in the team. I can see his potential like everyone else. But i'm more realistic about it. Numerous times he struggled under the pump, Had a lot more time to steady but was rushed. Great yeah he can learn the game but it's whats best for the club not Jack. So learn at Casey and when he is ready he will come in and be much better for it!

I must have been watching a different game to you

Ditto


Bartram - Great first half

Bate - needs right foot

Bruce - shoot me now

Davey - erred but thrilling

Dunn - shave the mo

Johnson - seen this before

Jones - coughs it up

Jurrah - needs better supply

Scully - fittest at club

Watts - thought was good

Morton needs more that caffeine tablets.

He just needs to leave our club, we should trabe him while the rest of the league think he is actually capable of playing AFL.

He is pathetic!

Not sure when we started letting posters on here abuse players in such a disgusting nature.

Morton is a victim of playing that rubbish loose man in defense role. When the ball was there to be won, he won it, and he used it extremely well. He excels on the wing, and it says a lot about him that our line coaches need to fight to get him in their part of the ground. Some of the shite that is written on here makes my blood boil.

Use your inside voice next time you feel like unleashing that sort of rubbish.

My 3 word analysis:

Frawley- For Prime Minister!

Bartram was better than that. And Jones was not. Gave away a couple of stupid free kicks that cost goals.

Sylvia (not mentioned above). - Played good half.

Did not do much in the first half when it mattered, but got better.

our line coaches

I hate that American expression.

Dunn wasn't that good.

... and Bate wasn't that bad. He plays better closer to goal for mine.

Watts ... can't believe the negativity. Completely unjustified.


Shattered about the loss, but it was fantastic to see players like Dunn and Johnson really make a pitch for their spot in the best 22.

I hate that American expression.

I love that that was the 3 words you chose to comment on.

I don't like that term either, but what else do you call them? Area coaches? Specialist coaches?

My 3 word analysis:

You are kidding me arnt you??

When did he ever win the ball and use it well. He is an absolute liability.

And nearly everyone eles bags players like Miller, PJ and Newton, just because everyone one is in love with him, does not mean he can not be bagged when he playes terrible (which is quite often).

Really, really likes Macdonald and McKenzie games, went really hard, lots of contested footy. Moloney was most disappointing for me, even though he got injured, as a senior player he should of been one of the players standing up when we were getting killed. Bate was poor, could almost be dropped but probably wont be. Rivers starting to improve a little, Garland still a little untidy, Batram played one of his worst games. Frawley, Scully and Watts are improving every game and will be guns. I thought Bruce's form had turned, was starting to get his game right again after last week, but was back to his sloppy self this week :( Davey and Sylvia were both very good, Bennell and Jurrah showed glimpses and did what needed to be done. Morton was disappointing, but Bail was solid imo. Can't believe PJ's game, wd sir, Jamar was a bit down on usual but didn't lost to the galloping lamppost.

Bartram was better than that. And Jones was not. Gave away a couple of stupid free kicks that cost goals.

Sylvia (not mentioned above). - Played good half.

Did not do much in the first half when it mattered, but got better.

I thought Sylvia and Jones both played great second halves. Sylvia certainly seems to be more at home in the middle now than up forward. Jones was rubbish until probably a third of the way into the 3rd quarter where Bailey had a chat to him. After that he was very strong around the clearances and kicked a lovely goal.

Bartram I agree had a good game. Used the ball well within himself and I thought he did a good job on Ballantyne. The stats will say he kicked 4, but one was a push from Davey and some good acting, another a gift from Bruce and I'm not sure of the 3rd. The 4th was the game sealer and Bartram did lose him for a step there but at least had him pinned near the boundary.


Watts - SHOULD be nominated

It's too unpredictable.

If Watts had of kicked the winning goal he would get nominated. As it is, maybe next week?

Save and except for today, Bruce has been quite good in the past few weeks and I have been one of his biggest critics. But why on earth is he ever allowed to kick out from behinds. Twice in the last quarter when precision was required he kicked out, basically to see it come back over his head. Bruce not kicking in should be a non-negotiable.

 

Watts was better again this week - would have loved for him to kick the winning goal but he'll have pleanty more opportunities. He's better for the run - he wont get those sort of opportunities at Casey!

garland- made costly errors

bruce-never kick out

bate- cant win contests

but all in all a good week again, i think watts is showing really really good signs, and i have never ever ever ever seen him miss two relatively simple set shots, so im guessing both were very nervous kicks

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
