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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
