in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Jones - inspiring in bursts
Dunn - marshalled defence effectively
Hogan - finally a target
Watts - confident and creative
Toumpas - 3 great quarters
Viney - some crucial turnovers
Lumumba - rarely imbued confidence
Brayshaw - surprisingly poor disposal
Gawn - may have arrived
Tyson - slow decision making
Stretch - far from ready
Cross - inspiring and determined
Pedersen - insignificant before injury
Michie - had no impact
Vince - prolific and creative
McDonald - loose and erratic
Riley - just a game
Neal-Bullen - was totally overawed
Grimes - slow to react
Garlett - probably wasn't playing
Howe - another cameo performance

    Michie: worse than (insert) bail or m jones

    Neal-Bullen: probably wasn't ready

    Grimes: genuinely a liability

    Toumpas: continues to impress

    Roos: flood the backline

    Can't understand the Grimes comment - thought he played a very good game

    agreed, he didn't do a single thing wrong. Some folks just make their minds up about players and ignore what actually happens on the field

    You are way off line with Grimes. He showed why he should never been dropped.

    In terms of using the ball it was his best game, in terms of one on one contests and keeping his opponent under wraps I think it was pretty poor and usually it's the other way around.

    I have been a fan of Grimes for the most part, but today he consistently looked slow against every opponent

    You are way off line with Grimes. He showed why he should never been dropped.

    I think it proved to me a bit more why Salem has been selected ahead of him.

    He is not able to play on the smalls, just seemed to consistently lose his opponent

    agree, beaten early on but fought it out over last 3/4

    forgot Jetta who was getting back to his best, give him another week and he will beat any small fwd again. A bit concerned about his head knock when he landed from that mark.

    Grimes was very good tonight, Garlett extremely ineffective.

    Toumpas' best game for the club and he's on his way to being a good player I believe.

    Jones, Vince, Viney and Brayshaw all pretty admirable in the middle at times.

    I get it that we love Cross cos he has guts, but seriously...

    Cross - Brave turnover merchant

  • Quote

    Watts - third man up!

    Brayshaw - a tackling machine

    Toumpas - best game yet

    Hogan - enter the Dragon!

    The one where he outmarked Gawn? Great effort from Nev, but Max should have swallowed that one whole ...

    Michie - seems rather depressed

    Gawn: take a mark

    Just watched the replay and saw 5 contested marks that he literally had in his hands, but couldn't hold onto. Not good enough for a ruckman - essentially our number one ruckman.

    Yep, another one here raising an eyebrow at the Grimes criticism. We know he's no star, but it was a solid game with no significant mistakes that I spotted. He is in decent form at the moment, I hope it can continue as I like him.

    Thought joeboy was harsh on Viney and Brayshaw too, but I understand that it's hard to capture the essence of a whole game in three words.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
