I can see the potential of Smith though.  Good size and skills. Just needs 5-6 games to be settled at AFL level.

    Joeboy should've appreciated that.

    Nope. He went for a mark, missed it, stopped and shook his head while Garlett was fighting for it 5 meters away and then Carlton ran it away 3-4 seconds later, if he turns and helps Garlett like his opponent helped his teammates then it may not have got out, or if not then under pressure.

    It wasn't a fatigue thing, it was a mindset and he does it often.

    He needs to stay in he moment. He doesn't.

    Must demand excellence.

    I think that's exactly his problem. He demands too much from himself and gets frustrated when he makes a mistake.

    You see it when he looks at his hands after dropping a mark.But I think you have a point in that it can impact his concentration which may stop a follow up or at least get frustrated. Jesse is very much a confidence player and need to get involved early. He is better played at CHF imo as he gets a few touches early and wont get down on himself. Besides he makes a great marking target from the backline and while not the worst isnt the most accurate in front of goal.

    Anyway we have found our new full forward in Tmac.

    Totally agree - it was an amateur players effort. I don't care how long or why you've been out of the game, but get back into the contest and help a team mate out. 

    I would love the high performance managers to put a heart rate monitor on some of our players and see how often they hit the red zone (90+% max heart rate).

    Melksham - Body Language Poor

    Melksham - Almost cost us

    Lewis - Almost cost us

    Lewis - Smart at end

    Hogan - One Effort Player (so good I plagiarised it)

     

    Tom McDonald - Elite Goal Kick

    Hogan - was understandably quiet

    Petracca - played in bursts

    Lewis - important but slow

    Gawn - had limited influence 

    Oliver - great first half

    Hibberd - continued to inspire

    Stretch - little to enthuse

    Kent - was mostly unsighted

    Frost - outstanding all game

    Melksham - regularly poor disposal

    Hannan - had little involvement 

    Pedersen - didn't offer much

    Vince - experience often showed

    T.McDonald - only winning forward

    O.McDonald - safe and effective

    Hunt - loose, rebounded well

    Neal-Bullen - some vital touches

    Garlett - had limited influence 

    Jetta - one memorable interception 

    Wagner - played his part

    Harmes - was rarely sighted

    Smith - nervous and limited

    Tyson - overrated and unsighted

     

    Lucky we didn't lose by 15 goals if you read this rubbish - 7 1/2 players were ok please

    :huh:

    Not everything he tried came off, but Kent was all over the place last night and very much "sighted"...

    Agree with this. Didn't kick a goal and didn't have as many possessions as some of his other games but it was the best four quarter effort I can recall him playing. I've been a critic, but yesterday he was pretty good. Even tried to kick on his right foot. (It was pretty miserable, so I can see why he doesn't want to do it.)

    Garlett limited influence? Harmes rarely sighted? Nev one memorable interception?

     

    This post is garbage, 1 minute of my life I'll never get back.

    Hogan gets a let off for obvious reasons but he was already cracking the sads when he didn't get free kicks or the ball in his lap yesterday. This needs to stop.

    There is no rule that states you have to read it Md.

    I am happy to have the thread simply don't read it if you are so offended.

    Then don't read it and if it only took 1 minute I suggest you did not read much.

    Carry on Joeboy

    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.

    I always feel that this thread is where the "big boys" come to play in the sense that it is favoured by many astute followers of the game.

    When I go to the game ... other than the mistakes and the forward marks I am lucky to notice three or four other players to the extent that I can comment on them.

    Well done Joe Boy and keep em coming

    PS I think almost everyone got a "well done" from Joe Boy against the Dogs or was that West Coast .. so he is human after all

    PPS Long may Tyson reign !!!

    • 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.
