Baker has the worst haircut in the VFL

You clearly didn't see the previous one he was rocking. This latest one's a work of art compared to it. And this is the first time that I've seen his head in the game for the entire game. Exciting.

    Good hard fought win

     

    STRETCH - Prolific but done nothing to suggest he can take the next step

    KENT - Poor really rusty.

    FROST - Really good game.

    PEDERSEN - Serviceable game, took a few good marks.

    VINCE - Fantastic game, too good for VFL level.

    KENNEDY HARRIS - No real impact.

    BALIC - In and out of the game.

    BUGG - No real impact as well.

    BAKER - BOG must be close to AFL selection.

    KING - Still developing took a nice mark and kicked a nice goal.

    GARLETT - Poor really struggling at VFL level.

    JOHNSTONE - Done some good things developing nicely as a backman.

    T.SMITH - Started like a house on fire, but died out of the game late.

    KEILTY - Mr. Dependable the best backman on the ground.

    FILIPOVIC - No real impact. 

    Agree with most but would offer this

    Oskar Baker looks ready but where does he play, deserves a game with recent very good form and excellent game today.Reminds me a bit of Cameron Ling the way he plays

    Sam Frost is too good for this level hardly made a mistake and unless Petty is one out of the box He also deserves a game . He was top notch today

    Bernie was irrepressible as he was impassable also too good

    Stretch started very well faded a bit at the end but again was consistent. Still not convinced though but he has definitely improved.

    Jeffy some good pressure acts classy goal but this standard does not suit him I believe. Not sure he would ever dominate a game.

    Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet. 

    I hope he gets to 100 Melb games.

    Twice in the last Kent had the chance to seal the game one did not make the distance and the other was almost out on the full. Poor kicking from a senior player.

    He actually turned the ball over with nearly every possession. He had the chance to ice the game from 30, late in the last quarter and missed everything. Oob on the full and another turnover.

    I thought he was terrible and a mile off the seniors.

    Yes I know he is coming back from injury, but if that is his disposal, goodnight.

    Gee some tough comments here, I thought him quite serviceable and will be better for the run!

    I didn't think he was that bad either Picket. The shot on an angle was poor but he looked dangerous on occasions albeit short of a gallop.

    Harsh on Baker re disposal, conditions were rubbish and nobody stood out re foot skills. 

    it's more the fact all of his kicks are so loopy and cause contests rather then nice flat passes, he will never make it at afl level unless he can learn to kick flat

    I didn't see today's game but those loopy kicks where what stood out to me when I watched his draft highlights package

    viney is an inside midfielder who relies less on disposal and more on ball winning abilities, bakers is the opposite

    Viney works his arse off at training on his kicking, maybe he recognises it needs work

    Looks just a little less like Ben Brown now .... just a little

    You obviously didn’t see Melksham last week

    Spot-on 'mnclr',  it was a disgrace last week.  Melky was ripped off throughout the game.

    I wonder if TSmith could do with more fitness.   Might be good to see him working more with Daniel Cross ?

     

    Dion Johnstone.   I wonder if Jeffy has been having any effect on Dion's development, over the past 10 months or so?

    It seems ever since Jeffy won our trust this time last year;,,, and our written accolades, he has gone downhill.

    And I'm wondering IF Dion has followed him in that same time-frame, effecting his footy?

    Lmao.. Plays absolutely nothing like Cameron Ling. If he didn’t have red hair you would have never made that comparison.

    I liked his run and dash from half back.

    bakers footskills are poor and very loopy, had a solid game but frost Vince and keilty were all better 

    Not just his footskills Elegt,  I think his ball skills generally need tidying up, at brief look today.

    Que?, Jeff Garlett just lost form at the wrong time, he is doing his role at VFL level, obviously not well enough to be banging the door down to get back into the AFL side

    Dion was treading water in the forward half, club moved him back, with Nev Jetta tutoring, now enjoying his footy as you can see

    Rucks got slaughtered, so a pretty good effort to get the win.

    Vince stood out.

    Stretch is getting better.

    Frost pretty strong.

    Not a lot of speed in the team.

    Balic injured or just slow?

    Not only hope I'm certain he will have great little footy kids.  He has to get the 100 in RednBlue.

    I think he'll freshen up well, and If he plays like today he'll be handy in September.  He looked fresher, younger the way he moved.

    balic looks like a slow version of Pederson, surprised me really as in his draft year he was touted as a first round prospect, I think he needs to lose a few kilos and word on those fast twitch fibres

    I watched the 1st half today and thought Jeffry played his role. A lot of pressure acts and tackles, some leading to goals plus one classy, classic Jeffry goal himself.

    wasnt disappointing for me.

    There is definite things to like about Keilty, Balic, Stretch, Frost at this level. Baker promising.

    if we need changes next week I’d be happy with Vince.

    I watch Casey each week. Unless there are a lot of injuries Gartlett is finished. JKH was consistently beaten one on one all day. 

    On the bright side Baker gets better each week. Spoke to him at Willy and he spoke a lot of sense. 

    Also I have been harsh on Frost but the last two weeks has been very good. Dion is also improving  

    Lets hope nothing happens to Gawn because Casey ruchmen are three years away. 

    Try never!

    Kent looks a long way off. Very slow

    First game back after a longish layoff into a game played in wet and wind.   Certainly didn’t push his case for the selectors but wouldn’t mark his papers quite yet.

    Loopy delivery into F 50 seems to be the MFC KPI ?

    Baker is about as opposite a player as you could find to Ling.

    I think @picket fence has been drinking again.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
