JFK topped the tackles

 

Pretty good this week joeboy.  I think you're a little harsh on Jetta, only because I think him being unsighted is a good thing.  It means he's playing his role down back and doing it with minimal fuss.

Otherwise it's pretty much spot on from the snippets and highlights I've seen and read.


Frost still turns it over. He’s looking pretty good but next week will tell a clearer tale

Didn’t see anything get past OMac so not sure what you’re saying there

Please back this up with a Qtr and approx times. I did break the seal but I only saw the JL momentum killer that ended in a Dogs goal.

 

Omac- Strong and Dependable

Punched well, bodied well, I thought he played well. 

 

Frost - Disposal lets down

Used his pace well and strong in the air but very sloppy by foot.  Hope he improves in this area because I'm a fan.

I agree.  Frost does turn it over.  But I am comforted by the fact the Frost can get back to the goal line to pressure a certain goal.  He will improve with continuity and faith.  More important than that is Frost is essential to our team that presses, yet needs to get back to goal when the opposition cut through.

That is Frost.

Maybe TELL HIM to kick it to them ( opposition ) ;)

That's a fresh interpretation of the word surpassed I'm assuming?  ?

Lewis - stop falling over

Bernie has been a great contributor during tough times, but he’s rapidly declining now. Lack of an obvious replacement at Casey is his best hope for continuing this season. What’s his contract situation next year?


I have not been a great fan of Frosty, but have never ever doubted his efforts. He has been better since returning because he provides abig strong bloke ib defence. However his disposal does leave a little bit of improvement. Maybe we learn to use his good points and cover for any deficiencies

Take exception to the above. Applaud your 3 word analysis with the rest who aren’t quoted. ??

 

Mine on these:-

Jones - perhaps his worst

Vince - kicking was inefficient

Frost - doesn’t think ahead

Hibberd - Few deplorable/costly decisions 

JKH - One good tackle. (Fullstop!)

Oscar - Only one error

 

Jones - Was quite quiet

Hogan - presented and converted

T.McDonald - could've kicked more

Garlett - converted but quiet

Neal-Bullen -  a slight slump

Spargo - a handy inclusion

Hannan - often goes missing

Lewis - great and terrible

Melksham - important opening goal

Oliver - showed kicking skills

Petracca - working through slump

Fritsch - 2 bad misses

Vince - played his part

Brayshaw - got brownlow votes

Frost - size and speed

Gawn - clearly surpassed grundy

Harmes - why the haters?

Hibberd - safe and important 

Jetta - battered and bruises

Kennedy -Harris - great tackling display

O.McDonald - always scares me

Salem - elite foot skills

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
