I read it all champion - don't let the fact I read above the level of a 16 year old get under your skin

The analysis is average at best, and given this is a public forum, people have the right to criticise posts like this (especially when the post itself is so widely critical of the team).

Jog on mate, I'm sure Joe's a big boy and can handle himself without you.

Hmm I am very confident that I did not say you could not criticise. I suggested  that if upsets you so much don't read the thread.

Jetta - one memorable interception 

Wagner - played his part

Harmes - was rarely sighted

Smith - nervous and limited

Tyson - overrated and unsighted

 

Hey Joeboy did you watch the Richmond game? Just wondering if you could do your 3 word analysis on a team that actually got thumped.

Jetta - star, star, star.

Hogan - one effort player.

Smith - Deer in Headlights

 

Agree, I know he was coming back from a long layoff but did he get anything from playing . I have said it  before, Hogan needs a few quarters if not a full game in the VFL "rag dolling" a few defenders like he did in his first year with us. help him get his confidence up and right for the finals.

Not sure this is worth discussing. Moving right along.

I feel very sorry for Cripps (yes, truly). But having watched the vision of it, I'm extremely thankful that Hunt didn't get injured. It could so easily have been the other way round with Hunt seriously injuring his lower leg by kicking into the back of Cripps' leg.

Both players should be commended for their courage and their willingness to play hard. Both have the potential to have outstanding careers.

Hannan - out of nowhere

 

On my second watch of the replay I noticed 6 more crucial impacts he had on the game. It was far from his best match but his pressure, clean pick up and use of the footy is top 5 in the team I believe. Loves a tackle to boot. His fairly unique kicking style allows him to get ball to foot unbelievably quickly as we have seen in some of his pack snaps for goal in previous weeks but this week it was more in assists. His left is a cannon as well. 

 

Petracca - on the verge

 

Consistency is improving and his ability to win his own ball, spin and weave out of trouble and then with poise deliver to a good option is going to be what makes him a star. Not his contested marking, burst speed and love of a goal although they will help. One passage of play in the third sadly didn't result in a goal but was a sign of future. As everyone else around him fumbled we won 3 hard ball gets in a row in traffic with shear will and ability in the forward 50. Will be a match winner on a regular basis ala Dangerfield or Gray in the future

Centre bounces - too inexperienced sometimes (Why were Clarrie, Hannan & Trac at centre bounces together?)

The experience was sitting in the Grandstand, thought you would be aware of that. I didn't expect to win, so i am very proud of what those young kids did. 

We are still in the hunt...

Petracca was one of our best.. 25 posessions and nine contested ball. drop Kent

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
