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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
