2010 MFC List Assessment

Red Sox
in Melbourne Demons

Straight to the point by Luke. Seems to be a reasonable assessment.

    IIRC the first player mentioned is Bail, and the author says he deserves to be a best 22 player, which I found a bit off.

    Pretty good effort, though.

    Biggest errors - Cheney doesn't have good skills, Davey doesn't play half back, Frawley didn't play on Barry Hall, Jones didn't improve as a tagger.

    But was pretty good overall, was spot on for most players.

    Where does Davey play if not half back? I thought Chip did play on Hall? Agree with Cheney & Jones.

    seems like few players will be shown the door and come the end of 2011, even more will be shown the door (if no improvement).

    I think Jones improved in his tagging role.

    Well I agree with him...

    I think Jones improved in his tagging role.

    Pretty harsh to knock a guy who's in hospital with fractured vertebrae, but I thought he was spiflicated by Harvey when he was tagging him, and I'm not convinced that he will end up being a good tagger.

    Jones had indeed improved but still not there... Close. . Decisions are better... Another step up again next year would be great .

    I agree what exactly IS Daveys actual posi ? Will depend on role for the day. Bail .. Definitely a find :)

    is a little kind to some players but a fair assessment me thinks

    Spiflicated ? good description.

    I would have liked to have seen Scully go with Harvey from the start.

    Agree. So close to the mark that most of us could have written it.

    Me too. We put Morton on Goodes for a day which was a learning exercise above all else. I reckon Scully could have learned a thing or two if he'd been on Harvey for the full game, not just half of it.

    .do we know who the author is, can't find him on any of the MFC staff lists?

    Probably a writer from afl.com.au. That's where this first bobbed up (to my knowledge). They're doing it for all the bottom 8 sides at the moment.

    Yes, Luke Holmes is a writer for the AFL. Google is a wonderful friend :rolleyes:

    Good point however I think they played Scully in the role they want him in - line breaking midfielder.

    I think Jones is a good tagger (could use extra pace) who was battling well with Harvey before injury.

    Interesting both Gerard Healy & James Hird called for Watts to be played as a tall ruck rover... IMO I think we should keep him deep in the forward line.

    I would have said Davey was playing in the midfield for most of the year.

    As for Hall, Warnock absolutely spanked him. I think Hall got 11 disposals, 1 mark and 1 point for the game.

  • Quote

    I thought it was well written and like most fairly accurate overall.

    Not bad for an outsiders perspective.

    Frawley was on Hall.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
