Newton - that settles it

Morton - not afl standard

Bennell - will be dropped

Warnock - not afl standard

Morton is AFL standard, has had a very interrupted year, only 2nd year. Will be much better next year.

Pretty harsh, but probably fair assessments.

- Newton was brought it to make 100% sure he's not up to it. Will certainly be delisted now, what a spud.

- Bennel is very clean and has great pace, he'll be a player but does need to be dropped just down on form.

- Warnock first week back so probably gets a bit of latitude, but really terrible game, doesn't look a part of the future and i prefer JoelMac

- Morton has soo soo soo much talent. Some of his marking today was outstanding, its just his kicks kept on missing the targets. If he hit his targets by foot he'd be one of the best youngsters in the comp. Still has huge potential

Im getting a bit tired of hearing.. this player of that has talent to burn...but cant bloody kick for sh!t. Its football.. it has GOT to be a prerequisite that you can kick to a decent AFL standard. even Scully needs to hone this craft..its not good.

Surprised Watts getting negativity. Some of his non-stat type efforts were commendable. Keep it up.

Cale....footsteps ??

Bruce.. 1/3 briliant 1/3 solid 1/3 sus disposals ( the other 2/3 were much better btw )

Jurrah.....no words required

Green... not best day

Rivers... a fair effort then he does some silly stuff too. Needs to get rid of that ( pls)

Bennell... did he catch the flight ?

Junior...what a trooper

Tregove...long year hey

Bail - couldnt get into it

Bartram - hmmm

Dunn - under-done

Frawley - hard day at offoce.. probably wrong office

Garland - rusty...very

Jamar - must have felt a tad lonely

Jones - so much effort for so little

Beamer - tried ...but as effective as Jones

Scully - has to work on efective disposals... a lot of good work comes undone.

Warnock - pantsed

Wonaeamirri - 50/50

McKenzie - doesnt give in this kid

Newton - spud dud & looking for a job

Yeah, he is AFL standard as a whole. But today he looked out of his depth and it is his third season. He has played some great games in the past, but today was a shocker.

He looks good when he takes a mark, but you hold your breath when he kicks it. That stuff up when he had the ball 30 metres out directly in front summed up his day. Not confident to nail the set shot, he passed it off, only to kick it higher than he did long, making it an easy chop out by the Port defender, leading to a 2 goal turn around and the start of Ports run on.

They were harsh assessments, but they are based on today only, because thats what this analysis is for. I am a huge fan of Bennell but he has been quiet the last few weeks, and today was very poor. Give Maric a crack at the G.

Gee we missed Davey & Sylvia.

Batram can't kick. He is a complete liability in the backline as a replacement for Grimes. Should be used as a tagger and nothing else.

Wonna week in week out can't win a contest to save his life. Needs to seriously address his body on body work in the off-season, bc chasing just isn't enough.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    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
