N.Jones - prolific captain's game

Vince - brain fades cruelled

Hogan - rarely imposed himself

Watts - always looked dangerous

Petracca - some awesome plays

Dawes - needed more involvement

Viney - never died wondering

Gawn - outstanding all game

Tyson - slow to offload

Stretch - provided some run

Kent - dangerous and valuable

Frost - career best game

T.McDonald - horrible under pressure

O.McDonald - never imbued confidence

Hunt - is obviously tiring

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Nice to see some posters grudgingly acknowledging the improvement in Matt Jones and what he brings to the team.

Tyson was very good.

Hunt ,ANB , Stretch were passes but not great.

Agree except for Tyson.  Glad to see recognition for the mistakes from o.mcd and t.mcd.

Best 6 were N Jones, Gawn, Frost, Kent, Watts and Tyson.

Viney: Needs to use right side or Get ris of it quicker.

Brayshaw : awareness improvement/shows a lot of class at times

Petracca : Touch of class

Kent : Great run

Gawn : Terrific

Watts : Massive improvement in committment/Great team game

TMac/Jetta: Without hime we would have lost by 10 goals. End of Argument !!!!

Wagner/Omac/Hunt/ANB/Petracca/Brayshaw/Frost/Harmes/Stretch/Hogan  : all first or second year players

Nathan J : Great bounce back from last week

Whole Team : 100 minute effort / well done

'Joeboy's' not a Tyson fan, just factor that into the "3 Word Analysis"...

I'm a Tyson fan and a fan of thread, a must read after every game.

Frost - turned the corner

I wasn't sold on him at the start of the year. But there is an x factor about him even I can't deny. Today was a leap forward for him. He is a must start for the rest of the season so we can see what he can develop into.

Hunt - starting to fade ... lucky to be kept in the side. If Salem was fit, Hunt would be omitted.

You have to be joking ....what bloody game were you watching ....i saw it with some pies supporters and they were raving about him ....just so harsh

Jetta - good game  6

t.mcd - good but crucial mistakes were costly 5

wagner - ok. turnovers costly.5

Frost - very good. pace and backed himself.8

o.mcd - not even close to AFL standard. Disposal a worry. Physically gets pushed aside.2

vince - skilled. big heart. got in but a few undisciplined free kicks. 6

M. Jones - good run. One of his better games. 7

Viney - the warrior. needs to learn to kick on his right foot. 6

Hunt - fading. conditions not suited. 4

Stretch - good run again. must use him more and go forward. 6

Kent - good. but I want him to develop so much more and kick 4-5 goals. 6

Watts - another strong game. Most improved award for 2016.  (if any he had kivked the goal in the last quarter) 8

Petracca - yes. so much talent. 6

Garlett - took his opportunities. 5

Hogan - disappointing again.  I expect more. Potential but not engaged.3

Harmes - in and out. 5.

ANB - Needs another week.4

Dawes - marking time. 3

Gawn - another good game. Might sneak a Brownlow vote. Deliberate handball out in 4th was disappointing.

Tyson - loves the conditions. Prolific and won the midfield. 8

N.Jones - best on ground. 9

Brayshaw - pass score 5.

Hunt has had a better year than Petracca, Oliver or Brayshaw. Nobody could have predicted that. He is not tiring just gaining experience.

should be pointed out that brashaw only has 58% game time for 20 possessions, so he's certainly finding the ball, but not always capitalising on his disposals. bad conditions and being a little rusty didn't help. need to give him more time and he'll be ok

He'll be ok ?

Brayshaw will be a frigging super duper star.

i was talking short-term. he was copping a bit of flack on land with some wanting him dropped.

Hogan did not look interested at all yesterday. Rubbish conditions for a key forward but Watts provided far more competitiveness. 

Jones and Tyson were fantastic and Petracca showed some salivating signs.

Petracca - makes me hard

 

Hunt had a good game, just because he doesn't break the line every time he gets the ball doesn't mean he's tiring or cooked, just means he's learning.

Tyson was BOG in the voting in the Nine Sunday Footy Show, Channel 7 Sunday and in the Sunday Age. I think he should get a lot more praise than " slow to offload".

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
