Nah, it's just a bit of fun to expose the footy acumen of many here, not to mention the jellybelly culture.  I'd hate to be in the trenches with some of them.

"Goodwin can't coach or has lost the players"

"Not going on the camp was a huge mistake"

"Viney's career could be over"

"Brayshaw should give the game away for the sake of his health"

"Trading Jack Watts is a major mistake"

"Weideman is never going to make it"

And the commentary on Hogan is too numerous to mention.

 

The flogs and snowflakes who frequent this forum are many and a sight to behold and they need to (occasionally) be held account for their really stupid "opinions".


I think the time out has done Jack some good.

Putting a positive spin on things.

He's still a young player and very much learning the game but showed some real footy smarts on Friday night that the old Jack might not have.

Exhibit A:

Loved how he ran out to the opposite pocket when he saw Hannan running toward goal down the members flank.

Poor old Blicavs didn't have a clue which way to go until it was too late. Hannan nearly fell for it as well, luckily he showed the composure to kick the goal in the end.

I reckon the old Viney wouldn't have been so cagey.

To be honest I have had resrvation"s re Jack. My fears were that he would upset the chemistry of the Midfield.

I have to admit I was wrong, because rjay's comment reflect the more mature way he approached his game. Maybe his time in the "gameday coaches area" would have given hi m a wider perspective than "see ball, GET Ball

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
