Failpatrick. Where do we find these guys.

Agree with most of the above.

Thought Jones was great today - and Garland was amazing until that moment... he had to have a crack though.

Watts - Missing since July.

Green - had minimal involvement

Jones - good and ugly

Bartram - great tagging performance

Watts - slid into mediocrity

Bate - increased trading value

Bennell - disappeared when pressured

Frawley - owned his opponents

Trengove - was great, really

Morton - see Bate's analysis

Mckenzie - terrific all game

Garland - occasional brain fades

Moloney - heart and soul

Rivers - dynamic and confident

Martin - continued game improvement

Tapscott - one dimensional game

Howe - exciting and talented Kicked Umpires Puppy

Jetta - little to enthuse

Jamar - never stopped trying

McDonald - had little involvement

Bail - enjoyed his dash

Blease - polar opposite weekends

Fitzpatrick - debut to forget

Umpires - Performed as Instructed.

Just a couple of minor alterations. :)

 

A bit harsh on Fitzpatrick. Yes, he looked pretty bad and kicked into the mark twice, but it takes almost everyone a while to get used to the pace and competitiveness at the top level. He'll be much better for the experience and next time we see him play he'll show us much more of what he can do.

Taking a pot shot at a 20 year old 200cm first gamer - well done champ !

That is what most uneducated supporters said about Frawley and Garland and Watts.

For your sake I hope nobody drags this little gem out in 2 seasons.

Green - failed critical moment

Jones - had a crack

Bartram - strong defensive role

Watts - didn't seem interested

Bate - outstanding half-forward's game

Bennell - not enough involvement

Frawley - back line star

Trengove - tough but erroneous

Morton - Can. Not. Kick.

Mckenzie - tough and effective

Garland - defence and attack

Moloney - ran all day

Rivers - calm and sure

Martin - great at times

Tapscott - needs a break

Howe - spectacular and energetic

Jetta - tried hard but...

Jamar - umpies dislike him

McDonald - rarely sighted

Bail - hard and quick

Blease - seemed imposibly slow

Fitzpatrick - really bad debut.

Unfortunately, Fitzpatrick's debut is one of the worst I have seem for many a year. And this is not a pot shot but an opinion - if that's alright by you and the other opinion-police?

Agreed+. He showed enough under the circumstabces.

"Failpatrick. Where do we find these guys."

Nah thats a pot shot at a first gamer.

Then you havent been watching for many a year.

More often than not debutants dont fare all that well..You have obviously Jack Watts debut. You have obviously forgotten Frawley and Garlands first 20 games.

To say Fitpatrick had an ordinary debut - fair opinion - to make the comment made above - poor form.

I didn't. I did about Morton though, I guess I must be educated? Happy to go out on a limb with this one.

I've made a note in my diary, are you sure you don't want to make it 4 seasons though? He is a tall after all...

I don't think one game is an appropriate time to judge anyone and certainly not taking any notice of individual performances these last 3 rounds as they mean absolutely zilch. Our season and that which we deserved to be judged on, was over after the West Coast game IMO.

However, the worry for me lays with our performance off the field.....again. This club is as soft as marshmallows. How Fitzpatrick and Bennell were left on the ground after half time (other than for a few minutes at a time in order to rest other players) is just mind boggling. So in many ways i blame the FD for what went down today. If they can't see where the gaping holes were today they must be either blind or very dumb.

But i certainly don't want to see yet another skinny inexperienced youngster in this team from here, Fitzpatrick or whoever, until they've truly earned their stripes in the magoos and actually have an AFL sized body a la Tappy. Regardless of today's performance, i'd be happy to never see him, Bennell or Morton in the MFC jumper again.....ever.

We need big bodied boys from here, with talent and some agro/mongrel! And that was my view before the last meaningful game against West Coast.

Thanks but no thanks to more guys 'like' Fitzpatrick.

Fitspatrick had an unfortunate debut - he showed he can get the ball and get to good position. Just nerves got to him. He showed that with experience he could be a good footballer.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
