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.

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

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

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
