How did Jeffy play in the VFL?

HOGAN BOG so far, has some competition but he's playing with a desire that is beautiful to watch. We were lucky the Saints shoot like the Somali militia. Pat TomMc the million, while the game was in the balance at the start he did some 1% things that demonstrated will.

The inverese of everyone else, great goal kicking accuracy, cannot hit a target in the field...and moves like treacle.

 

Looks like he is running in wet cement. 

His disposal is dumb. It’s not even bad. It’s just dumb. He makes awful decisions. It’s like his brain malfunctions every time he touches the footy.

Now we need to break them in the 3rd and go on with it in the 4th!

let's hope the 2nd quarter was the infamous shite quarter.

I still struggle with the Tyson hate. 

Had two shanks. Pinged holding the ball im the back half (Hunt and Hannan should have been pinged in the first quarter for the same) and the second shank in giving it off to Jones when he was still when both were going to get done.

Other than that he’s been really handy with his hands and some nice targets hit across the ground. At least he tries to hit a target rather than bombing it long to no one all the time

Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

Hard to see him doing much wrong

We are using the corridor a lot more which is good to see. Getting a lot of repeat entries into fwd 50 but still very wasteful, because it’s tge Saints we’re getting away with it.

Good first half.

Hannan presents a lot, probably has more than any other forward, but we either kick too short or too long. He was getting frustrated towards the end there. Although a few times caught flat footed.

Game in many respects is fairly close. It is StKildas shocking kicking keeping them out of it for the momment. I don't like the indiscriminate handballs we do sometimes but we have played much better than last week.

You're right, it may be rudimentary, I always look at total scoring shots to get a sense of closeness... they're only 3 off.

Cant disagree there. Nibbler has been awful.

I’ve been very critical on Harmes lately playing an inside role.

He has been ok this game as well. Getting the pill on the spread and some of his effective long kicks (most important stat in the game imo) have been really nice to watch

Came into this thread and am scratching my head at the Tyson whipping going on. Few misfires with disposal, but no more than any of our other players and he’s been one of our better players again today. Some people here clearly watch the game with blinkers on!

You need your eyes checked.  Harmes has been terrific.

Missed the first quarter so can only comment on the second. We were lucky they didn’t put scoreboard pressure on us early in that term, we let them get a lot of look ins at goal but they got no reward for effort. Hopefully that will be what breaks them. 

Once their pressure dropped we were clearly on top and were it not for some players losing their head, and others bombing indiscriminately we could’ve nailed another one or two. 

We have the chance to kill the game next quarter, I feel we are the better team and just need to polish off a couple of final points. Tyson doesn’t seem to have any awareness, but that was a huge goal he kicked. Great to see TMac take a full forwards mark from a high ball, was the one he took on the goal line over or not? Tim Watson seemed pretty confident for a bloke that didn’t have any replays to actually show the line. 

C’mon Dees, keep pushing forward. Job half done.

Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

I'm a Tyson fan LT, but there was a 10 minute patch of footy where the worst he has to offer was in display.  He was caught a few times and made poor decisions with the ball in hand.

His second half of that term was much, much better and when he's doing good things he is clearly a valuable member of our side.  He just doesn't so it consistently enough.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
