Jones tried but fumbly, lacked skill

Tyson was so frustrating today.  You summed him up well.

Hogan...  When will he kick the important goals.  His marking was so good, but it's almost at a point where you'd second guess kicking it to him in the 50, knowing he probably won't finish it.  His field kicking has also been average this year at best.  He should realistically ask for $700K tops and be happy he's getting that.  Doubt that'll happen though.

Insipid performance Dees!  Our low footy IQ was on display for all to see.

Pretty good assessment this week joeboy. Tyson's stats look good but I thought he was absolutely terrible after a good month. That speculative shot he missed in the third quarter with three players free close to goal was unforgivable. 

Vince is terrible in defence. If Luke Beveridge was coach he'd probably be dropped next week. 2017, he needs to go back to the guts where he won a B&F.

Bit tough on Michie Joeboy. 20 possessions at 90 per cent is hardly signing his death warrant.He at least gave a damn today.

At the start of the game, Kent was in the city end goal square, already limping.  Why did we carry him into the game ffs?  Looked like his ankle was shot, and he struggled to run even at the first bounce.

where did Jesse start?  Down back somewhere?

Not sure if you were at the game but the couple of times he got caught, one glaringly in the 3rd Q there were no options ahead or either side of him.

I think it told a bit about how we played today that pretty much the whole team was in the back half and no one worked up to at least give him a let out kick on the wing.

I agree in so far as I'm not sure that Bernie is that suited to being a full time defender, though I think he pinch hits OK down there at times and is a good long kick out from full back.

But I'm not sure that he still has it in him to play on ball all day.  It would have been worth giving him a crack on ball in spurts today in a tagging role on Crisps, although Patrick could well have destroyed Bernie, the way they were both playing.

I really love Bernie and what he has done for the club since his arrival, but I fear that his best footy may now be behind him (would love him to prove me wrong).  Just my view, but I think he'd be best used in the forward line, as he has great goal sence and a great hoof on him.  He could be used sparingly in the middle in bursts when we need a bit of impact there

Vince - career worst form!

Seems a shadow of the player he was in the opening half of this year. I'm sure he'll respond next year and but it's certainly been a disappointing drop in form. Hopefully we can land Hibberd over the pre-season so Bernie can move back into the midfield considering he seems rather incompetent as a defender.

At the opening bounce and after many (but not all) goals we start with an extra forward running from the defensive side of the centre square. Hogan was the designated forward at the opening bounce.

It's a tactic I quite like.

Too static with not enough intelligent running.

An example should be made of him this week. As was with Watts last year. Dropping him for the last game may just be the reminder he and the other senior players need going into pre-season. Right now he is not deserving of a spot over a number of others.

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. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
