    Amazing isn't it ;) !!!

    Actually cloke kicked 3 from terrible turn overs where he just sat in the square, and two that were from kicks that he had to stretch to even mark which gave Rivs no chance at all. We made cloke look better than he actually was.

    He frustrates me beyond belief, so I thought I would divide his positives and negatives.

    Morton was good for most of the first three quarters with a great job on heath shaw, then made the ugly category with a lack of conviction in the latter parts of the game. Shame really

    you missed a very obvious one in the Bad, Brad Green was just awful today and not far behind him was Jurrah.

    Morton did a few nice things but for the most part spent his day either like a slow tram meandering up and down a line halfway between the centre square and the boundary line and a high orbiting satellite, stuck in geostationary orbit around any contest. When he's not first in line he just doesn't go.

  • Quote

    I rate Morton as one of our best on the day, but he spoiled it by not going up for the contested mark a couple of times towards the end. At least on one of those occasions he knew he'd screwed up.

    I also have Watts in both the good and ugly sections. Overall game good. Nailed a run down tackle for a holding the ball call - Really good. Made some really bad kicking errors where he put it down the throats of opponents - Ugly.

    THE GOOD:

    Sylvia and Watts both looked like they were giving it a red hot crack

    Mckenzies first half on pendles

    howes second half, comprehensively beaten in the first.

    THE BAD:

    hit outs to advantage, almost zero, we had double collingwoods hit outs and couldnt get it out of the centre.

    turn overs out of our defensive 50

    wrong options

    no running

    UGLY:

    the collingwood supporters yelling abuse over at the members.

    our kick outs.

    struggling to hit targets in our forward 50

    our marking on the lead.

    TACKLING, especially on that dalai lama loving harry obrien, just grab the f*&&^%% bloke!

    Wonder if Eddie will get as upset about his own folk as he does about opposition members?

    The Good - Collingwood (unfortunately)

    The Bad - Melbourne (hopefully not for much longer)

    The Ugly - This forum (after a loss)

    I've had it with Jurrah's workrate. Drop him for next week and make him earn his spot.

  • Quote

    Good

    - Howe

    - Morton's first 3/4

    - Sylvia

    Bad

    - Jones' decision making was really bad today. Still give him credit for having a dip, but at one stage he chose to handball backwards instead of forwards mid way through the first quarter and it set the tone for what was the come

    Ugly

    - Morton's last quarter

    - Nick Maxwell - he and a few of his mates down back for Collingwood would get well and truly found out if they didn't play in a great system with a damn good midfield and forward line in front of them

    The Good

    Morton

    Sylvia

    Gawn - Still raw but promising

    Howe

    Watts in the 1st half

    Martin

    The Bad

    Rivers on Cloke - Has no 1 on 1 skill.

    Jones - Poor execution and no vision

    Trengove

    Moloney - four bounces and then a pathetic kick to boundary line.

    Making our tackles stick

    Two men up with no Pies player going up

    Consistent inability to make tackles stick.

    Jurrah not fit

    The Ugly

    Neon Leon carved us early

    Collingwood were clinical and professional in their dissection of MFC.

    Brad Green- There should be spill of leadership positions at year end and few if any incumbents should be considered for the leadership positions.

    Jamar is still out for 2 weeks.

    Kick Outs - Zts a positive if we get it to a throw in at centre wing.

    Tom Scully - Just went today when I thought the open nature of the MCG would have suited him perfectly - I wonder why?

    We were really bad today and it showed just how far off the pace we are. Everyone got carried away because we beat Essendon last week, as I said at the time I don't rate them so it wasn't really a guide to where we stand; today was and that was ugly.

    The good was I got out of the car park relatively quickly.

    Clint Bartram had a real crack today.

    Jeremy Howe was great and will get better.

    He is going to kick bags of goals in future years.

    Did they? I dont think so. But well done on the voice of reason.

    FWIW, I think most posters realised the win against Essendon came with qualifications to it.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
