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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
