I'd rather [censored] myself than watch that garbage.

At least I'd be harder and be in the contest for longer.

Dawes.. Talentles old slow

Tyson. Lazy young slow

Wats.. Handballs into traffic

[Dockett 32 1,237]

Jones - Pay check game ( Just went, looking for receives a lot, some hospital handballs to teammates.)

Dunn - Reliable and confident ( Average for mine)

Hogan - A football lesson ( Looked to drop the bundle again. When the going gets tuff... Stern words needed.)

Watts - Buckled under pressure ( Ok ish but error riddled. Did try.)

Dawes - Presented but fumbled ( Got no idea about this bloke)

Viney - Just like daddy (Yep)

Lumumba - Erratic and indecisive ( Need to watch replay, didn't stand out)

Brayshaw - Superior work rate ( ok and wins one on ones)

Gawn - Solid ruck work (Yep)

Tyson - Out of form ( Run in the seconds needed)

Stretch - Promising but tired ( Kid , shown a bit, now a rest)

Cross - Slow but required ( Nup. Afraid he's close to cooked. Good heart, legs cant keep up)

Garland - Soundly, empathically beaten ( Emotionally tough one. But he was poor)

Michie - Another Michie classic ( 9 possessions in a quarter is good and he was ok)

Vince - Tries but fades ( Didn't impose himself on the contest, but not the worst)

McDonald - Out of position ( I thought he went ok)

Grimes - Dear God no ( That's tough, wasn't our worst)

Garlett - Lacked defensive urgency ( Quiet)

Howe - Went through motions ( Ok ish)

Jetta - Constantly missed targets ( Tried his guts out, wasn't good but kept going. One a few who can run)

vandenBerg - Out of touch- ( Either injured or slow and found out)

Harms -Promising yet uninspiring ( Tried but not ready)

[spirit of norm smith 15,276]

I could drop 5-6 players after that rubbish.

Harmes Jetta Watts Tyson Vandenburg Dawes... but who comes in ???

[Coup Cooper 610]

Hogan.. LEAD TO SPACE

[66frank 63]

No fcuking comment!

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,423]

Id say Dawes, lumumba and a few others actually hurt us today - as in their contributions generally made us worse. Vince looked knackered as did vanders, jones and Tyson.

when we beat geelong we shut up shop for the year.

[leucopogon 1,518]

Jones - was well held....again!

Dunn - not a leader's a-hole
Hogan - future trade bait
Watts - trade bait that no longer has any value
Dawes - Trade or delist
Viney - held up his end
Lumumba - laughably ineffective recruit
Brayshaw - future skipper of the club
Gawn - cannot tap to advantage
Tyson - poor man's Brock McLean
Stretch - needs a break (agreed)
Cross - old man time
Garland - time is up
Michie - NQR

Vince - effected by early corky
McDonald - From A grade to D grade in the space of a month
Grimes - marked his card....GONE
Garlett - Down hill skiing today
Howe - Hope we get something decent for him...doubt it though
Jetta - headless chook's game
vandenBerg - Matt jones like tackling errors
Harmes - runs to wrong spots

Paul Roos - Please step aside

[Parma 28]

Jones - same old same - Just keeps giving

Dunn - was rarely beaten was fair

Hogan - terrible body language stopped leading and was more worried with where opponent was

Watts - poor decision making looked slow, needs to go to first option

Dawes - provided no target tried but not worth what he is paid, first three kicks turnovers and then a crap 50m penalty

Viney - heart and soul bog

Lumumba - some occasional bursts a bit too predictable when he has it.

Brayshaw - had no zip tired

Gawn - great first half tried but not his best

Tyson - no spatial awareness ok

Stretch - needs a break looked like a boy playing against men, another preseason or two needed

Cross - slow decision making tried hard, getting older

Garland - was he playing? shouldnt be playing on best forward

Michie - has no tricks little impact when subbed on

Vince - continued extraordinary resurgence pass mark

McDonald - some dumb decisions leave in defence shouldve been on Rooey

Grimes - repeated same mistakes not bad, put under pressure from team mates, will forgive

Garlett - was totally smothered back out of several contests when anticipated physical contact. needs a rocket

Howe - took easy options was missing, needs to work on disposal if going to play down back

Jetta - horrible decision making was ok

vandenBerg - successive poor games looked slow and tired, looking forward to a rest and another pre season

Harmes - hasn't shown much didnt like it physical

Wow! Calm the [censored] down lol

[chookrat 4,212]

Surprised with the view that Watts had a poor game. Was able to find the ball and generally created space with handballs and used it really well when he had space by foot.

Our team generally didn't cope with St Kilda's pressure and too many stationary targets receiving handballs.

Our game breaks down because we turn the ball over causing players to work extra hard to try to win the ball back. Offensively our players lose confidence in teammates and stop presenting making it even harder to find targets resulting in even more turnovers.

The 2nd and 4th qtrs showed where we put pressure on St Kilda and were able to expose their ball movement. We did it for 2 qtrs and they did it for 4.

[Frosty Demon 153]

Please see comments

Jones - same old same- amazed he's not a psych case

Dunn - was rarely beaten- usually under siege because of turnovers

Hogan - terrible body language- still a bit to learn

Watts - poor decision making- was time to go five years ago. Melbourne's biggest failed experiment ever and to continue with this is the ultimate stupidity. Anyone keeping this player on our list should be sacked.

Dawes - provided no target- tries hard but just seems not up to it

Viney - heart and soul- fantastic

Lumumba - some occasional bursts- failed experiment bom bomb

Brayshaw - had no zip- finally we have a player

Gawn - great first half- doing well

Tyson - no spatial awareness- reminds me of Jekyl and Hyde

Stretch - needs a break- Looks like a player

Cross - slow decision making- warrior

Garland - was he playing?- has little impact

Michie - has no tricks- don't like the sub rule would like to see more of him before deciding

Vince - continued extraordinary resurgence

McDonald - some dumb decisions- he's a back man, Paul!

Grimes - repeated same mistakes- I've seen a lot worse from him and thought he did okay today but this should be his final season

Garlett - was totally smothered- should always play on and run to difficult angles when taking set shots

Howe - took easy options- Im sure he's coached to take these stupid easy options instead of just playing on instinct, thats what Paul does to players he over coaches them

Jetta - horrible decision making- put under the bus with hospital handballs

vandenBerg - successive poor games- he's earned some time

Harmes - hasn't shown much- give him another go

Im drinking again

Roos. "Habits are playing on a man and beating him." Hard to argue against that. His other major problems, tackle count and contested possessions. i.e Midfield, forward line.

[monoccular 17,338]

Chris Dawes - Melway 134 F8

[baysidedave 246]

I could drop 5-6 players after that rubbish.

Harmes Jetta Watts Tyson Vandenburg Dawes... but who comes in ???

Watts and Jetta put in, made a few mistakes but so did everybody, no way they deserved to be dropped or maybe its automatic when [censored] off you just type Watts name in?
