    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.

    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

     

    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.

    wonder if it counted as an effective kick in his stats. certainly should have as a pressure act

  • Quote

    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...

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

    yep, this guy has heaps of potential...

    All I am saying he needs to do more.. Lacks forward pressure.. Hard to define if he is an in and under player or just a receiver...whats ya thoughts..?

    • 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.
