My 3 word player analysis V The Poos

Featured Replies

Posted

Bartram - always looked unsure

Bate - was rarely noticed

Bruce - lowered his standard

Dunn - a man possessed

Frawley - composed and confident

Garland - worried by pace

Green - his customary stylishness

Jamar - a tired game

Jones - quiet until injured

Jurrah - thrilling and composed

MacDonald - continued his renaissance

McDonald - out in style

Moloney - gave his heart

Morton - disappointing despite ability

Rivers - showed his class

Scully - great despite errors

Sylvia - exciting when motivated

Trengove - just a game

Watts - rarely got involved

Wonaeamirri - needed more involvement

McKenzie - possibly our best

Newton - failed last chance

 

Wonna - Did a hamstring.

Rivers - kicking turnovers, goals.

Garland - went off injured (came back but no good)

 

Jones - quiet until injured - Just beaten by a champion. No disgrace there.

Trengove - just a game - Thought he did some very nice things. 1%er sort of stuff.

Wonaeamirri - needed more involvement - Needed more ball. His chasing was very, very good and caused some panic.

Newton - failed last chance - Did he play? A waste of a selection.

Scully's ability to run out games to the very end of the season in his first year spells trouble for our future opposition once he irons out the flaws in the his game and builds up a bit more bulk. The midfield was where this game was decided and its where we still need a lot of work, especially at the stoppages. (injuries to key players hurt us here - Davey, Moloney. McDonald at different times this year). I agree with Bailey that apart from a few additional players (e.g. marking forward target) we have the core of a potent attach and strong defence and have the elements to build an awesome midfield, but this will perhaps take a little bit longer for these guys to learn the ins and outs of the midfield and to work as a unit.


Watts - took it on

Watts - took it on

Yep, agree totally. He did some really nice things. Seemed to tire towards then end and gave up on tackles he should have pursued. But some nice marks and classy decisions.

 

His 40 metre left foot pass from the wing/half-forward was awesome.

Scott - Youth excitement envy?

Does this guy have to whinge at every media interview that his young players don't get talked up in the media? They really are in desperate need of some excitement thats for sure if they are to survive as a club. Great to know for once we at least have the off field component well and truly sorted and just need to ensure we keep kicking goals on the field, literally and figuratively... :)

Is the fact they play a relatively boring chocking zone that the players get lost in the confusion or that they are overlooked because they still rely on the same old heads to get them through?


Green - his customary stylishness

Jamar - a tired game

Pretty much with you 100% apart from these two. Green was good, but despite his return I think he could have been better today. Few dud kicks that you would not usually expect. Jamar, was tired, we've ridden him all year, but he smashed it in the hit outs so that seems a harsh assessment to me.

He is a [censored] and his club is a [censored]. "Stop talking about them! Look at me!" Should have gone to the Gold Coast with it's seven supporters.

Where are those White Knights Brayshaw?

I've never been one for putting the boot into a struggling club but when they keep putting the boot into mine they can just [censored] off and die.

Morton's game reminded me of a game against the Bulldogs at Telstra Dome a year or two ago when he had about 30 possessions and turned it over 29 times.

totally agree...."butcher" morton

Watts - took it on

I think Watts lacks confidence to take the game on - to have shots for outside 50 to run with the ball when clear - the confidence will come.


Newton - failed last chance - Did he play? A waste of a selection.

He injured his calf (and was using crutches after the game).

He is a [censored] and his club is a [censored]. "Stop talking about them! Look at me!" Should have gone to the Gold Coast with it's seven supporters.

Brad Scott is an A-grade [censored].

Instead of focusing on his club, he was all over making comparisons between our clubs.

Just focus on surviving in Victoria and STFU. We don't need you to worry about us and how we're developing.

What did he say? Was this in his press conference? I know the Norf supporters are annoyed at the media for loving our young players, but I didn't know Scott was whinging also.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
