Harsh on McKenzie, thought he did as good as job as any on Pendles(apart from the last half of the last quarter)

bennel did a great job on krakour....

Did he? Krakour had 15 disposals and kicked two goals v Bennell's 6 disposals. Bennell did not hurt Collingwood going the other way.

I agree He had one passage of play.

Whatever his postion is it is not in the backline.

I will get jumped on however I have been saying it all year.

He is not good enough.

Sorry guys just to comment quickly I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to go into the rooms after the game and Rivers was genuinely devestated. He was sitting by himself just in a state of disbelief. He didn't play great but it's not all his fault 1 on 1 on Cloke ain't easy. Midfield didn't work hard enough

Harsh on MacDonald thaught he was very good all day, except for the occasional mistake.

"Never stopped trying" for Howe implies he didn't have much effect. but he took some great marks and was good moving the ball on. more liek "Won 2nd half"

Jones: The weakest link

Couldnt believe how often he sold team mates into trouble today, and how he would seem to hold the ball just 2 steps too long. Critical errors directly cost goals.

As for the rest - too many mistakes. We are 3 years behind the maggies, and it was clear today.

Not a bad summmary Joeboy.

I thought Bennell was put to the sword by Krakoeur. Mind you with 74 inside 50s it was not a good place for defenders.

I find it very funny the things people say about Jones. He is the new Cam Bruce for exactly the opposite reason. While Bruce would dish off to a bad option to avoid being hit, Jones will occasionally hold the ball too long because he refuses to dish off to a bad option. I'll take Jones any day.

Also, let me say that the rot began when someone (can't remember who) chose to handpass to Jones in the midst of three Pies rather than go the other way to three unmarked teammates. Even then Jones very nearly got the ball out again.

Green - [censored] poor form

Jones - not to him!

Bartram - week too early?

Watts - ok in glimpses

Gysberts - nothing overly special

Bennell - shut out Krakouer

Frawley - some awful disposal

Trengove - oddly off today

Morton - kept pushing hard

Sylvia - A game today

McKenzie - did he play?

Moloney - poor disposal really

Jurrah - lazy or carrying

Rivers - outmuscled, wrong opponent

McDonald - played fairly well

Scully - lots of nothing

Martin - anonymous mostly today

Gawn - raw but potential

Howe - will be fantastic

Jetta - average, average day

Strauss - AFL suits him

Evans - tried his best

you wanna back it up using stats? i didnt even know krakour was playing until the second half.... i'm very surprised he got 15 disposals. Bennel saved us from defence 2 or 3 times and effectively. Krakours goals were cheap [censored].....

How was that 5 bounce run through the centre? any other game that woulda burnt off the opposition

Bennell did some good things but I think Krak won that contest - but he wasnt the only Pie to win their one on one.

On the Jones debate - his disposal was terrible (as it is often) but he puts his head over the ball and gets it. I would love someone with the disposal skills of Trennes (the usual Trennes not the one today) having the ball the entire time but until the kids start getting under the packs Jones is always going to end up with the ball.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
