Awful HUN match review.


pitchfork

Recommended Posts

This is as faithfully quoted as possible, on the run:

Neil cordy writes in the HUN ...After just two games, its clear to see why the Giants last week extended his (Kelly) contract to 2017. It is also clear to question why Melbourne gave away its rights to Kelly in pre-draft dealings last season, in exchanging picks No.2 and 20 for pick no 9 and Dom Tyson...

Tyson, 20, has been one of the Dees best players so far this season and was their leading ball winner yesterday...

But Kelly, 19, has shown signs of greatness in his two games as sub.

As noted, Tyson had 25 possessions, 10 clearances.

This was 6 more clearances than any other Melbourne player.

Only Treloar and Cognilio had more and they were roving to Mumford who was outstanding.

Neil Cordys best: M Jones, Howe, Frawley, Watts, Jones.

It's easy to pile on the unsuccessful club, but this is just a nonsense. Tyson not included in the best either demonstrates a failure to understand the game, or an attempt to colour a pretty poorly thought out article.

Its easy to do as we have the worst team in the league.

Listening to Finey on SEN last night and he spoke about how he was lucky enough to go to a few Grammar games last season, and witnessed Kelly absolutely tearing the games apart. Said the kids an absolute freak and there was only one other player playing who was on par with him, who also shred the games and opposition he saw to pieces. That player was Christian Salem.

So i recon pick 2 and 20, for Tyson and Salem is a bloody beauty.

we knew Kelly was going to be a gun, this really shouldn't come as a surprise

Tyson has shown enough that in combination with my opinion of Salem i am still very comfortable with the decision we made

He has also said Jayden Hunt could be better than both

no he didn't, what he actually was he was a steal by us, as when Shawy invited him down to watch one time, Hunt played a better game than those 2. So based on that he may be better someday. Which really isn't such a bad thing for us is it?

Geeze with your ability to create "facts from fiction" you could get a job at the HUN.

No, i said he HAS said it. He said it a couple of times in the week after the draft and that he umpired a couple of his games I think.

Tyson keeps me wanting to go to the football, there's still plenty of improvement for him but he's shown himself to be a very worthy pick up and a value trade with Salem still to come. People will be crying for Roos to play Salem but I think Roos will stay the course and let him develop with less pressure.

Matt Jones as our best player was probably the best indicator that he bases his post-game write-ups on stats not vision.

Journalism is a sorry industry these days. They wonder why we don't pay for the paper anymore...

Been happy with Tyson so far but how many times did he get pinged for holding the ball yesterday, trying to do too much.

Should've been listed in our best.

It would've been a great deal less amount of times if he had some mates going with him, knowing where to run and backing themselves and their teammate to break a line.

Watching the top teams it only highlights how important it is to know your role intimately, back your team mates and always be on the move.

We have so far to go, I don't hope Tyson changes that part of his game - I hope his teammates change theirs!

Spot on 45. Our 5 year players refuse to learn anything.

Tyson's stats are very good with the exception of tackles. He only had 1 and needs to stick a couple more.

Tyson is head and shoulders above the majority of our midfield and one of our few quality players, I have never seen Salem other than a few training session preseason but he looks skillful and has some pace. I think potentially this was a very good deal for the Dees getting a ready to go potential A grader in Tyson and having Salem coming in to the side later this season or next year.

I dont read the HUN or News.com because the reporting is rubbish and dont want to waste my eyes on it. Its not surprise the reporting is lazy, sessasionalist and without basis. They are a pack of flogs

Mixed him up with the Matt Jones who just won the Houston Open golf.

i do apologise, i thought you were having a dig at me. It's very tense round these parts of late.

Actually TFSK I find it quite the reverse I have never known Demonland to be this quite and polite.

Might be that now the vast majority have a similar view of our situation.

It's an area of his game he needs to work on, I'm sure the coach will be on top of this.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
