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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
