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.

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!

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

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.
