That's impresive, Morton has managed to be both good and ugly.....

It's almost as if those two categories aren't mutually exclusive...

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.

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!

UGLY:

the collingwood supporters yelling abuse over at the members.

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)

Yep

Good The third quarter

The bad The other three quarters

The ugly wait until Freo catch hold of us and this week will look OK

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

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


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

here here, a lazy front runner who needs a good old rocket up the arse

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
