Jones - great second half

Viney - far better involvement 

Salem - used disposal effectively 

Watts - was all class

Petracca - just a bull

Lewis - calmness when required 

Tyson - a front runner

Oliver - continued to excel 

Hibberd - was all class

Frost - loose but important 

Melksham - still not convincing 

Hannan - an opportunistic game

Pedersen - proved doubters wrong

Vince - enjoyed more freedom

Kennedy-Harris - little to commend

T. McDonald - relished the freedom 

O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required 

Hunt - wonderful first half

Neal-Bullen - some impressive cameos

Bugg - did he play?

Garlett - provided forward pressure 

Jetta - had limited involvement

    Agree with you re:

    Jones,Salem (must get ball into his or Watts hands),Watts,Tyson ,Melsahm,Garlett,Vince, Pederson,

    Viney : Led way  in 3rd Qtr

    OMac : 14x 1%s, high effective disposal %. What more can you ask?

    Tmac : Disposal /Decision making ?? Contribution extremely high

    Lewis/Vince : Didn't get reported

    Frost Learning his craft

    Tyson : Lower your eyes

    Petracca/Oliver : Centurion Tanks

    Team: Fumbled in 1st half / Played in 2nd half

    Hannan was very good I thought. Plays like a 50+ game forward. When we started getting space he was a genuine target. I like him a lot.

    And OMAC was great today.

    Jones - No Football Awareness

    Viney - As Above

     

    Both are hard at it no problems there but by christ stop [censored] yourself and putting other players under even more pressure than need to be.

    Watts, a great story of determination and will overcoming past disappointments and critics.  Many others would have given up.  Jacks loyalty to Melbourne and Paul Roos mentoring important. And Goodwins harsh message pre -season.

    Reckon we need to allow some slack Beezle to our perceived  underperfomers. It's team game and we supporters will never know what the coaches instructions are.

    Watts has run his guts out this year and is improving each week those who have bagged him should be ashamed.

    I would love to know what the instructions were to Weideman in the first 4 games Ernest.

    Get where the ball ain't? As JD would say.

    Seriously OD, Weideman is a kid. My comment is the same, cut some of these boys some slack. Particularly the young kids. Look at Watts. Even in the best teams, individuals have their off matches. Focus on the positive not the negative .

    the positive for young weds is a good development stretch at casey, ernest

    i think he will come good but getting a handful of touches in afl is not helping his development at all

    Why should we be ashamed ? Was a cronic underperformer until the Roos era. Hats off to him no doubt but why should I be ashamed about calling a spade a spade at the current place and time

    Tom McDonald's kicking - Could go anywhere

     

    (Seriously. wtf is his action. He kicked an inside-out torpedo goal. He couldn't do that if he tried).

    As Dc said I too do not see how playing a guy who is well below AFL standard at this point helps his development. He played 7 games in a row for two reasonable quarters. At the least he should have been dropped to Casey after the Geelong game. He is not yet ready for AFL. The mistake we made with JW was playing him for too many games in his early career lets not repeat it with Weideman.

    Okay, OD, that's put your earlier comment in context.

    I'm saying last year and this year Jack has played some really great footy, when Max went down Watts stood up and did a great job. I was talking about talking about Leigh Matthews when i made that comment, but if you want to put your self in there so be it? 

    And Jack wasn't the only one under performing the whole club was but that's a whole other issue on to it's self.

    So you still think Jack is a cronic underperformer this year as well?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
