And twisted his ankle in the first 5 minutes of the game.  Could barely trot off the ground when he was called to rotate.

I've read your post and Biffen's and may have gone the early crow re Hogan's efforts.

Hogan: frustrated with injury

He went down to the rooms during ( if I remember correctly) the third quarter for some treatment.

im not sure if we'll see him next week.

Hogan had a very heavy collision with the post in the 2nd qtr. 

 

I was at the game and thought Brayshaw was very classy, especially by foot. He may not have got much of it, and tired late, but his kicking skills were a highlight.

As were Frosty's, actually. Was suprised a number of times by how improved his foot skills are

Really ? I liked that Bradshaw was hard at it but I thought his disposal, like many, was off.

i thought Frost looked very safe today.

Just rewatched the game and can confirm joeboys comments are Tyson are, politely, plain wrong. Turned a few over but was very constructive. The comment that he regularly butchered the ball is just plain wrong.

N.Jones - playing under duress

Vince - lost the edge

Hogan - seemingly without passion

Watts - perfect clutch player

Petracca - keep it simple

Dawes - some minor involvements

Viney - made little impression

Brayshaw - regularly wrong decisions

Gawn - prolific without dominating

Tyson - continually butchered disposals

Stretch - valuable running game

Kent - conditions didn't suit?

Frost - valuable when confident

T.McDonald - persistent and valuable

Hunt - played with dash

O.McDonald - played to limitations

Garlett - another poor game

vandenBerg - took his chances

Jetta - safe and reliable

Wagner - scary with ball

Harmes - finding his place

M.Jones - improved but limited

 

 

God, this is crap. Tyson was the only one of our star studded midfield to make an impression

Watts- better than niknat?

He was good today, so good that even Sen were commenting that they would take Watts over niknat if the draft were today. How times havechanged.d

I was right on the boundary watching Hogan warm up and go through the Physio stuff.

He is not right .

He looks extremely proppy.

Anyone signing him up to a 10 year deal go ahead.

He doesn't lead because he cannot sprint.

Just my observation and I may be wrong.

He has hip/lower back issues-also explains why he cannot kick over 50.

 

He had a set shot from outside 50 that landed 8 rows back What do you mean he can't kick 50?

So you don't think he regularly butchered the ball?

He's also almost permanently at the coalface. Butchering the ball when you're under the cosh is a bit different to Harmes' numerous efforts where he was in the open, but still couldn't deliver a 30m pass and have it reach its intended destination.

If you watched the game you'd agree with me

So Tyson got votes On SEN, The Age, The HS and was named in the 3 best on the AFL.

So I will ask - did you watch the game ?

It is not that I disagree that Tyson's disposal can improve but I would suggest that for some reason your dislike of Tyson blinds you to what he brings to the side.

If Tyson was Usain Bolt, after winning the 100 metres at the Olympics you would comment that he "chews with his mouth open".

We won ugly - that's the difference from last week!

Dont usually like Dunstall but his 3 word analysis of the DEES and the frustration of being a supporter summed it up for me: 'Horrendous, going skiing!'

There's so much I like about Harmes. I love his attitude, his courage, his work rate, his tackling, he finds the ball but gee whiz... some of those disposals were horrific. It doesn't matter how good he is at all those other attributes, if he keeps those up he just can't be in the team.

I kept thinking about how it should've been Salem in his position yesterday and how much of a difference he would've made.

Vince - Career Worst Game

Garlett - Psyched himself out.

Petracca - Genius on DIsplay

Petracca - was a pretty good 14 disposal game. The dawes and Kent passes ( besides bruising teamates because of how hard and fast they travelled) were sublime. I am salavating at the thought of another preseason and him getting 25 plus disposals a game.

The ball drop and the subsequent trajectory of his kicks is all wrong.

At AFL if you can't bullet a pass accurately either foot from 20 metres you shouldn't be playing.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
