Seriously Golly?


Had the great displeasure of viewing this live. No votes for Jones, Vince, Viney and Gawn based on their pathetic first half contribution of 21 disposals between them.

6. Tom McDonald - at least he always tries

5. Viv Michie - probably our best in the first half and kept cracking in

4. Jack Watts - made some mistakes but had a crack

3. Ben Newton - thought he had a dip

2. Billy Stretch - worked really hard

1. Jack Grimes - best of the rest

Thought Stretch was a shining light on a bleak day

 

Because I'm bored and whatever.

You really could've picked any of these names out of a hat.

6. Grimes - from the start to the end. When we made a challenge he was at the coalface.

5. McDonald - still a great mark and works hard. Love that we are using him in the middle.

4. Watts - although faded a little, still was an important cog and who knows what would have happened without him there.

3. Newton - clearances. He had some.

2. ANB - really showed some hardness and a guy who makes leads all day (he's 1 of 2)

1. Michie - he did stuff in the first half when no one else turned up.


I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I was in stiches writing it. I was waiting for D'land to start the thread so I could give some smartarse reply about sparing us this week, but it seems he's made himself scarce this week, so I had to start it.

Smart man, our Andy...

6. Tom McDonald

And that's about it!

4. Stretch

Easy to miss in the insipid performance that some things are getting better. Showing a bit more every game along with his mate ANB. Good call on the FS pick by the club.


Very hard to pick given everyone made howlers.

6 Grimes - a couple of dreadful errors just before half time, but our only four quarter contributor.

5 T.Mac - why are his hands so clean when he goes for a mark and yet others can't hold a drink bottle.

4 Michie - our best to half time, but ran out of puff and cramped up in last term. May have saved his career though.

3 N.Jones - couldn't break his tag for first half, but was one of the few who really lifted in the second half.

Not sure I can keep going but, maybe.

2 Dunn- he did beat his opponent, although Watson and Jaksch may be the weakest opposition talls he has ever played on, so it's no surprise.

1 Watts - second half was better and he did look like a leader, even if he again failed to hurt on counter-attack.

One final word for Golly. I get that you are being sarcastic, but to put Nathan Jones in your list of six worst just shows you have no idea what actually was happening out there. Were you at the game or at the bar?

I feel dirty even posting on this thread.

6 - McDonald - makes up for lack of natural ability with a huge heart and wonderful effort

5 - Michie - tried, with limited success but better than the rest

4 - Salem - showed some endeavour and a little of the class that we know he possesses

3 - Grimes - gave a damn but is still so predictable under pressure

2 - Gawn - made a difference for a short time

1 - Dunn - just because

Really, only the first three deserve votes.

Having said that, the most pleasing thing about a dismal game was the performance of the younger players. Most showed effort and skill, one or more of which were lacking in more senior players.

  • 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.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes 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.
