My 3 word player analysis v Fremantle

Featured Replies

Posted

N.Jones - tired before injury

Dunn - a solid contribution

Hogan - had little influence

Salem - regularly displayed class

Watts - regularly lost contests

Viney - bad habits returned

Gawn - was not disgraced

Stretch - tried but raw

Cross - disappointingly our best

Newton - plodded and watched

Garland - tried but loose

Michie - just lacks quality

Vince - finishing year poorly

T. McDonald - valiant but careless

O.McDonald - showed some poise

Grimes - impressive when subbed

Garlett - was hardly noticed

Howe - sporadic and gone

Jetta - slow and loose

Spencer - insipid before injury

M.Jones - hopefully last game

Neal-Bullen - out of depth

 

Next year what about a three word positive player analysis win or lose and start off on the right foot and it might just turn around.

It might not be easy but hey.....

No...much prefer the truth!

Well done again Joeboy, an positively accurate summation of the output of each player.

 

a bit disappointed in the criticism of Viney the guy is usually at the bottom of a pack shovelling the ball out TOWARDS our goals as best he can without a lot of support and usually under a lot of pressure from opposition players. His attack on the ball and tackling of opposition players is first class, he will get better with time.

 

I noticed Garlett a fair bit and thought he was one of our better players.

Agree. Garlett had 18 possessions, 6 tackles and 2 goals. Noticed a lot I would think. Joeboy didn't take my advice and go to Specsavers this week.

Dunn is worse than [censored]

its not a contract year, obviously... that how to tell when melbourne players have a good season, contract renewal time... go you good time guys, you.


Viney was in beast mode for a lot of the day, just didn't have much help.

Depressing day for Jones, I really feel for him.

I was sat behind the goals and watching him closely, he just doesn't man up and always plays from behind.

Chris Mayne, is a running machine, that guy just does not stop presenting, I'd make a serious play for him just to set the example for our bunch of slackers.

I think you may have been a bit harsh on Watts. He was fourth for 1%'s and third for tackles in the side. He clearly did his share when he didn't have the ball, and that's one of his big weaknesses. Sadly did bugger all to win contested ball which is his other big weakness, but he did make my pick for play of the day with his one contested win. Brought the ball to ground against multiple opponents, controlled it, u-turned, ran to 50 and kicked a spectacular point.


Hogan - Great second half

Salem - Smooth as butter

Viney - Our best midfielder

Also disagree with Garlett. His best game for a month by far.

How can anyone be anything but positive about Vineys game today?

I am flabbergasted that you found a way to be negative on this.

Even Cross, "disappointingly our best". What the hell does that mean? Why disappointingly?

And people question how Roos could call supporters negative...

That would've been a ripping goal, so close. His other effort was a fair kick too!

How may of his handballs missed targets then resulted in goals.

He goes very hard at the contest which is great to see. But his skills need a lot of work.

Not as many as Vince, Garland, Dunn, Cross missed handball targets.

Probably, Disappointingly because at his age and the other players in he should not regularly be our best or top three.

Means others are not lifting and good Ol Crossy is still showing them how it is done.

Be that as it may, when only given three words how about using all three to laud the effort of that player rather than using it as further opportunity to lay in to the rest of the team.

It reveals an inherent negativity.

Re Viney, while he obviously has flaws, his performance was overall very positive. How about "head over ball" or "strong all day" or "so much heart".. I could go on.

Paul would really appreciate this post. Finally looking at the positives!

It's his view. Want it different, do your own or don't read it.

I like it, I don't always agree but I don't go asking him to change.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
