Garlet comment is ridicules.

Dunn - excellent but overwhelmed... WTF Dunn was pathetic. Gave away stupid free kicks and 50m penalty. He is lucky Kennedy didn't kick straight.

Garlett's urgency and willingness to chase, harass and tackle any opposition player was nothing short of phenomenal tonight. It directly resulted in goals and scoring shots for us and he kicked 1.2 with our ball movement going inside forward 50 being terrible again. He had 10 tackles. 10!

It's [censored] tiresome reading assessments like these when they can be so wrong. It's not a matter of opinion.

You're either blind or you have no idea.

He was pretty much our best player.

Neal-Bullen- get more ball

He knows where to run to score goals, now needs to work on getting to more contests and getting more possies. Looks promising, like a Grimes but more skilful.

Stretch was solid too i thought.

And Dawes knows how to run into him when he does so.

I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on any players. Based on the end result it looks like we were beaten in most parts of the ground.

A 10 goal belting should force 3 changes.

Mind made up!

Now I'm going to go out on a limb here picket fence. It is based, however, on the 250 posts you have made on the topic. You don't rate Jimmy Toumpas. Just to reiterate, you do not rate Jimmy Toumpas. You are not a fan of the Toump. You've said it before and you'll say it again, the Toump must go. Get him out of the club. Cannot play. Kaputski. Am I right?

Pathetic isn't it the way people like RTG just beat about the bush and don't say anything definite :-))

He's been doing it most of the year, too.

Wonderful pick up for this club. Love his work.

Both bail and jones dropped chest marks in front of goal which I cant forgive

Garletts goal assists butchered pearls before swine

Beautiful ball delivery to leading forwsrds by wc - cut our defence some slack for that and our fwds would kick twice the goals with similar delivery

Stretch and anb impressed for young light players

How was Garlands'game? Is there anything i should watch in particular?

If you could keep a tally of free kicks not paid to Melbourne players that would be helpful. Also an analysis of which of those non-frees were followed by a WC goal. You know, if you're offering... :rolleyes:

    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.
