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.

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

    Not bad for an outsiders perspective.

    Frawley was on Hall.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
