My 3 word player analysis v Fremantle

[joeboy 3,166]

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.

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

[wattsjurrahdunne 88]

Yes, that's right, it's all the supporters fault for being so negative.

[Steno 200]

Viney and Vince: 23 tackles between

[leucopogon 1,519]

Dunn is worse than [censored]

[Deecisive 1,709]

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.

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.

[Little Richard 6,262]

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.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

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.

Salem - Kid Can Play

Willmoy- no thank you

[praha 11,240]

Hogan - Great second half

Salem - Smooth as butter

Viney - Our best midfielder

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

[watchtheeyes 1,420]

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.
