Hibberd - clever but loose

Frost - continued to impress

Melksham - some important touches

Hannan - was rarely sighted

Pedersen - loved his energy

Vince - not a defender

T.McDonald - last quarter impact 

O.McDonald - gradually became important

Hunt - was almost outstanding

    Hannan here was a little underrated. He was sop important in the 3rd and 4th in pressure acts and score involvements. Won me over today.

    Watts- queens birthday redemption

    Hahahahaha, was waiting for the negative on Tyson. He was the ONLY mid making any difference at all in the first half and was very good in the second half. Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up where hoped but they were quick kicks out of congestion. Glad to see you didn't disappoint with your bias on him!

    Wow, my expectations are never high but that was just pi$$ poor

    Agree Chris. He was really solid today. 

    Its amazing how sometimes we see what we want to see.

    Lewis - hang up boots

    Not many arguments from me. It was a thrilling win but we never really got out of first gear. Definitely not one of our best performances. Still too many blokes butchering kicks

    "Melksham - some important touches"

    He had 10 disposals at 40% DE. 

    Stats aren't the be all and end all, but cmon, he was crap today.

    This was without doubt the one game when Oliver kicked more than he handballed. 15 k to 11 HB to be exact. Didnt you watch him?

    Not sure about your Frost praise. Seemed to make many poor choices today especially his constant play on, often straight into oppo players.

    Jetta only made one major error as well. He was very good.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Nice work Joeboy. I have always enjoyed reading this thread after a game.

    Dont let the haters get you down. Call it as you see it.

    Worse post ever we are averaging over a 100 points a game only 5 teams are averaging over 100 and that is without a key forward most weeks, with your topic it is amazing we won, reading your Post you would think we lost

    I like Joeboy.  Love this thread.

     

    But the Tyson call was absolutely and definitely incorrect.

     

    He was a star from start to finish.  He has what a many in our team don't yet:  composure.

     

     

     

     

    Look at the replay.  Decision-making A.  Execution A.  Hardness A.  His best ever game of footy IMO.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    As for the others, Hannan - finds a path (with oily shoulders)

    Bugg - Keeps missing chances.

    Bugg was poor again. Back to Casey.

    Thought Bugg was clearly ahead of Harmes today. He will have a 4-5 goal game soon. Continually gets to the right spots, and while he doesn't have the class of some others, he makes up for it with his workrate. Definitely don't think he is a long term option, but have him above Harmes/Kent/JKH at the moment.

    I disgaree. His woeful kicking is a liability, not a big pressure guy either. JKH or Kent would offer more. Bernie is doing the niggle job he could possibly do.

    Agree with this.

     

    Hannan is a kid in AFL terms, and if you keep his experience in mind, he is performing magnificently at this stage.

    Playing half forward with Trac, and hits a pack with a huge leap, and with aggression in the air that belies his physical size. And he has almost elite off the ground skills, very quickly getting hand/foot to ball, off the ground while surrounded.

     

    Like Alex N.B, I am warming to him.

    So many people here looking for more positive comments.

    How would you be viewing it, if Colonwwod had kicked just one more goal?

    • 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.
