I generally love your 3 word reviews, but this is the worst you have ever done.

Lucky though, it is only NAB Challenge matches, so you are just "blowing" out the cobwebs.

Not a bad summation of today's performances. I fear that your review of Viney's game will be a common theme throughout his career.

P.S You missed Toumpas

 

Toumpas - missing from analysis

Cross - also not included

Joeboy - perhaps not watching

Love these threads, glad you're carrying them into 2015, joeboy.

Disagree with about two thirds of this one though.


Garlett - great pick up

Toumpas- confidence building game

Salem - prolific ball winner

Viney- first game back

Jones - easy 22 disposals

Tyson- typical Tyson game.

M jones - disposal worris me

Jetta - played his role

Dunn - played his role

McDonald - great attacking run

Lumumba - versatile game today

Hogan - underdone but huge

JKH - great in patches

Cross- average game today

Gawn - ok but average

Bail - didn't get much

Frost - quiet but explosive

Newton - quiet game today

Michie - ok for sub

Vandenberg - head collision sub

Watts- silky given opportunity

Garland - lethargic and slow

Don't know if missed any today's game was so poor against rally poor opposition.

N.Jones - missing when needed

Because he was ...

- off the ground

"Tyson - prolific but wasteful"

I hope this isn't common for Dom. His disposal has been very poor in the first two games.

 

Got down to Dunn in first post and stopped reading....

I didn't see an issue with Dunns rating?

I didn't see the match but this is very much to the contrary of what I've heard so far. For Hogan to be 'disappointing' in his third game of AFL level footy is a bit stiff.

As per the norm dazzle there is no explanation. It's just 'opinion', which he says we are free to have but it's always wrong unless it's in line with his.

Extremely stiff for hogan imo, he spilled a mark and didn't dominate but my God he worked hard, he got to good positions.

Hogan was in no way disappointing. He's rusty, he lacks touch, but he's running hard, crashing packs and making his presence known. Sooner or later he'll get his touch back and those marks will stick.

You are right i dont even know why i asked.

Agreed. we really missed him in the second half, as he was that link up player pushing up the ground and presenting Riewoldt style.

Those actually at the ground would have seen a definite game plan in action, as distinct from the way the Bullies went about it.

Markedly different approach when playing down wind cf against the wind. Few, if any, long bombs.

Unlike you to be dismissive of other posters, TDI.

I used to think Joeboy's 3 word were good, but towards the end of last season and now this, seems a bit pessimistic to me, and samey, not sure if he watched the game

My opinion of course

I actually appreciated the efforts you took to present a regular training report for people who weren't as lucky as you,and were employed , so I'd just be interested to know ( in 3 words per player only ) how YOU viewed each player's performance on the day ,and yes I was at the game.

Wouldn't bother giving him the time of day mate, not worth the headache.

 

I think maybe you were too influenced by the second half and not the first, which was damn good. I'm sure we took our foot off the pedal a bit and started trying some different options.

The wind in the last quarter also changed to the south and was blowing directly across the ground, so we lost the large advantage from the second quarter.

Hogan was in no way disappointing. He's rusty, he lacks touch, but he's running hard, crashing packs and making his presence known. Sooner or later he'll get his touch back and those marks will stick.

I am happy for him to build his game and develop, rather than being seen as the big white hope. They have always let us down when we expect too much.

The kid can play and we will see it soon enough.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
