My 3 word player analysis v Collingwood

Featured Replies

N.Jones - led from front

Dunn - coach killer brainfade

Hogan - beaten on day

Watts - tried hard throughout

Toumpas - lack of accountability

Viney - hard and ferocious

Lumumba - hesitation kills confidence

Brayshaw - precise effective contributor

Gawn - time your rucking

Cross - completed set tasks

Newton - stealth like presence

Garland - average like performance

Pedersen - frustrates with inconsistency

Vince - leather poisoning effort

McDonald - beaten badly (in) blockbuster

Riley - Ineffective throughout game

Garlett - provided linebreaking goals

Howe - great set shots

Jetta - had hands full

M.Jones - provided some run

Fitzpatrick - Tunnel ball blunder

vandenBerg - strong when on

 

I reckon joeboy's comment on McDonald is very harsh and completely misguided. Players have poor games sometimes; he's been arguably our best player over the season, I think it's grossly unfair to accuse him of an over-inflated ego after one poor performance.

I seem to be following you around today Nasher.

Might be a little harsh but compiling that list using just three words would be a very hard job.

I sure as hell could not do it.

I forgive you joeboy

 

Old Dee he could have used

Lowered his colours

Beaten today

Beaten by Cloke

Etc etc

Yes he could have

But I don't mind a little emotion especially if he was [censored] about losing that game.

I think on a couple of others he was very generous.

The comments would have been more barbed from me if I had the skill in the first place.


I generally look forward to the 3 word descriptions, but this one is just too

described jack watts as a "bipolar performances" is absurd, apart from being hugely insulting about this very unfortunate condition. The Regs should censor this immediately

One of my relatives is bipolar, and I can tell you Jack Watts is so far away from bipolar that it is not funny. If this poster is determined to insult our number one draft pick, thereby ensuring he leave, then it may give him varcarious pleasure, but it makes this demon suppiorter extremely angry. All it will do is ensure he leaves. God we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

Pc police alert!

I think the coaching staff might have erred too. Sometimes they don't get every matchup right. Sometimes the balance between reacting (and changing) and persisting (trust...no panic) is a fine line.

I like the 3 word analysis; but it fails to take into consideration coaching box issues.

Paul Roos said no one maned up on Oxyley and players didn't listen to the coach's intructions. I assumed he was a defender who accumulated a stack disposals and hence screwed the Dees chance of a win. Didn't both teams play an extra man in defence?How can

have someone play on Oxley when we have a spare player in defence? Can someone please make sense of it?

Hogan beaten .. Really .. 1 goal & marking contest created another.... Ball going into fwd line like big bombs...

You are aware he is nicknamed Arro and Gancy within the club.

He was beaten on the day...

Clearly beaten, looked tired.

He was talking about the forwards competing and ensuring he was kept accountable. He didn't necessarily want a specific man on him, just that the forwards were to make sure he didn't get the easy mark, as he did over and over again.

Collingwood also did very well to subtly stop our forwards getting to him, which is against the rules, but it was well hidden.

I almost agree - I don't think our forwards were hard enough at it on the long ball (rather than them being subtly stopped)

If we bombed it long and it went to the only person in defense being the Collingwood loose player then I have problem - but Oxley took numerous marks in and around our forwards. They didn't make a contest.

It was a combination of both, in the first half he was happy to have the loose in our backline, but from half time onwards he wanted us to go to a 7 man forward line and man up the loose man.

The second point about protecting the marking space was something i was surprised about on game day, but the collingwood players did it really well and its something we need to do better in our backline when we have the loose.


Chris,Nutbean and Mad_Melbourne comments on Oxley were well explained,nothing like pointing out the obvious to a mere Deemon supporter probably should have taken the red pill.Was it a coincidence in the MATRIX there were references to BLUE and RED pills?

Chris are you getting use to being disappointed after the Dees loss to St.Kilda……….. bonus early draft picks and another re build (mark 8)

  • 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.

    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?
