Well done Joeboy.  I may not agree with the number ratings for all but I think you have given a very sound 3 word assessment of the list.

 

not bad JB

although harsh on T mac IMO, aside from his last couple of weeks he was very good all year.  especially out of position up front

it is hard to think past Saturday though.  WTF was he doing!?

Would give Jetta a 9 and probably a 6.5 to Trac but pretty good on rest.  


Pretty good.

Too generous for Oscar. Had one standout game for the season. Rest were good to shizen. Wasnt even close to Jetta or Hibbo.

Petracca - our new Sylvia...

Glad you said it first Gorgoroth. Because I have been thinking similar.

However he is still a kid so let's give him another couple of years.

He has had games where he has been very good.

There a number of others that have never shown much above VFL standard that have cost us dearly.

I agree with OMac. His year was 6.5 at best.

But great overall analysis JB.

Good effort Joe. I'd have a couple of tweaks but can't really argue.

Good work on your weekly assessments also. I don't always agree but you are prepared to put it out there.

Well done.

Pretty much spot on mate. Garland didn't make the list given he didn't play, I wonder if he will go on and play the final year of his contract. Seems like the forgotten man.

I think the problem is that his best is so good and so explosive that the "ordinary" stuff doesn't really register.

With another full preseason he should take the next step next year.

Whoa....please, god, no!

I hope no, but all we see are glimpses at the moment, I'm not saying he will become Sylvia but I keep getting this nagging feeling and I thought Sylvia would come good too.

Next year should give an indication.

Nonsense. Sylvia couldn't even lick his boots.

  • 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.
