Yep, agree with most of that 'joeboy', pretty fair summation.

I think Oscar was very good again.

Apart from that all I could add is...

MFC - too many passangers

Jetta - something desperately wrong (could hardly raise a trot at one stage, still courageous - anyone know about an injury? Hope it is not accumulated concussions.)

Wagner - no ball security

Stretch - no ball security

Oscar - no ball security

Petracca - talents are wasted (drinking Harmes' bathwater)

Vince - game has passed (better than most)

Neal-Bullen - irrelevant and fading (Did he play?)

Gawn - effective but friendless (His efforts wasted)

Kent - quiet before injury (wasting out time)

Lever - 4 solid quarters (incremental improvement weekly)

Wagner - disappeared after first (wasting our time)

Hunt - continues downward spiral (headless chook . . . quack!)

Garlett - waste of space (really p$ss weak)

Melksham - took his chances (earned pay cheque)

Sorry Joeboy, but if you don't go to the game (as you obviously didn't), then taking pot shots at players for lack of courage (eg: Salem) is weak as [censored]!

Unless joeboy doesn't live close enough to go to the games...?  There are supporters who don't live within striking distance of the 'G.

Thought Weiderman was good for first game since last year, Harmes, ANB and Stretch must be dropped for Pedo, Hannen and Fritsch. Why was Fritsch dropped anyway FFS....main out is Goodwin, can’t coach, we know there’s disunity in there. After the camp debacle, now he’s banished McCartney downstairs WTF is going on???

Weid was one of my highlights and his rucking was pretty good too. 

Gawn needs to calm his farm and stop smashing balls to the opposition goal side. Yes we know you are big and you win lots of hit outs, but just stop.

Thought Brayshaw was coming in to some form after 1/2 time

Also Lever showed a bit

Hibberd put his body on the line a few times and will be a sore boy tomorrow

Oscar wasn't to bad either

Absolutely agree. What no-one on tv mentioned was that it was slippery. One grab takes were difficult. Many packs. No-one on either side was soft

Melksham  Bomber supporters spewing.

Hibberd A A form.

I can't agree with a lot of those calls Joeboy.  Jetta played his best game of the season.  So did Lever, Hunt and Brayshaw.  Hunt faded badly, but Brayshaw had a big second half and looked to be getting his touch and mojo back.  Weideman took four solid marks, laid five tackles and crashed packs all night.  He needs to get his [censored] together when kicking for goal, but overall his game was solid and he showed the work ethic and appetite for a contest that we want to see in a developing KPF.  Like Brayshaw, Oliver really kicked into gear in the second half.  It seems to be his pattern to rack up 20 or so disposals after half time, and he added to that a massive body slam tackle on Dusty Martin.  Can't ask for much more than that. 

I will give you ANB, Stretch and Garlett though.  They were horrible.

Don't think you watched the game. Jetta was excellent even after he was kicked in the ankle, which felled him--yet no free kick. Even commentators saw this one.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
