Jesus Christ! You'd think with how negative most of these are that we'd been belted by 100 points!

We actually LOST the game ourselves, they didn't win it. I know a loss sucks, but we weren't that bad by a long shot.

 

JKH=not sure hes quick enough considering his size.but great skills no doubt.

VINEY=hasnt over impressed me as much as everybody else sofar.but last night his "in close" work was just sensational.

pedders=-massive work load off the ball.

bail/byrnes =got to good places with gut running.definately playing their role.

jamar=said all summer training,this bloke was needed and is doing well for the team.

Like the team Joeboy you will put in a shocker now and again, this is one of them

I certainly have no qualms about being disagreed with , but I'd love you to forward your own 3 WORD analysis of the performances, just so I can understand where I went so 'shockingly' wrong


N.Jones - good contested game
Grimes - held griffen well ( but missed him down back )
Salem - showing classy signs
Watts - some good moments
Dawes - exceptionally hard worker
Viney - tough as nails
Frawley - pretty solid game
Byrnes - the VFL calls
Tyson - our best here
Dunn - out of position
Cross - another solid performance
Garland - very welcome addition
Pedersen - workrate has improved
Vince - playing his role
Kennedy - Harris - classy and exciting
McDonald - very underrated player
Howe - mark not punch
Jamar - experienced quality ruckman
Bail - another 9 tackles.
M. Jones - Good but wasteful
Terlich - excellent until injured
Jetta - played his role

joeboy - a bit harsh

If JKH is bordering on exciting then Byrnes is about as exciting as watching your grandma play bingo

 

JKH=not sure hes quick enough considering his size.but great skills no doubt.

My thoughts are that whilst he may not be overly fast on his feet, he is incredibly quick in his head for one so young. Exciting.


I think JKHs's main attribute is balance, poise and clean hands and that more than compensates for any perceived lack of speed. In fact it may make him more durable - the real roadrunners seem to be dogged by pinged hamstrings.

Did anyone see his acting on Neighbours? If he plays footy half as good as he acts, we are in for a treat.


Pretty much agree. Always like reading your three word post game threads, joeboy.

even if they are bollocks

totally agree with this one, especially about Howey marking the ball, he should not punch unless absolutely necessary, he can outmark anybody.

Howe- 5 minute performance.

That is a joke. The whole night he took solid marks and spoils.

Not to mention is handball to Matt Jones in the last quarter almost set up a match winning goal.

That handball was absolutely sublime. 25 metres, and put it WAY out in front so that Jones could run onto it, at full speed, without breaking stride. That was a handball even Sam Mitchell would have been proud of. If Jones had kicked it and we'd won, we'd have been watching highlights of that on Youtube for decades.

Did anyone see his acting on Neighbours? If he plays footy half as good as he acts, we are in for a treat.

He was so good that the English Football team wanted to get him in to play right wing, thinking the same as you!

(I heard from a mate's mate's mum, anyway)


JKH reminds me of Greg Williams. Slow but fast.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
