Jones - willed the win

Jetta - some incredible plays

Frost - steady and important 

Hibberd - desperation was vital 

O. McDonald - seemingly no errors

Fritsch - versatile and calm

Melksham - was always dangerous 

Hannan - perfect opportunist’s game

T.McDonald - great both ends

Weideman - career best game

Harmes - wonderful all game 

Kent - better than Garlett 

Brayshaw - wonderful in close

VandenBerg - was important early

Neal-Bullen - great grunt work

Gawn - was our catalyst

Lewis - slow but professional 

Oliver - was supreme throughout

Petracca - true team game

Salem - disposal was precise

Spargo - out of depth

Tyson - regularly slowed momentum 

 

Spargo playing maybe his 15th game. I think he has had a great first season, and while he wasn't brilliant today, he wasn't disgraced. Think you're being a little harsh.

A lot of Tyson's touches today were very effective.  He played a very good game despite a couple of stereotypical Dom floaters.

 

The defence : Magnificent

Midfielders : Gave a lot

Forwards : Very good.

Weiderman : Best game ,provided marking/competitive option.

Lewis : Cool Head Luke

Jetta :Build a statue

Brayshaw : Leave your hat on. You are too essemtial to us .

Oliver : Best phonebox footballer ever ( Never ever thought I would quote BT)


I think you have been very kind this week Joe Boy. As you should

 LOVE YOU DEES!

CLARRY YOU STAR.

Captain courageous Jonesy.

All mighty Jetta.

Milkshake   Mr Fix it.

Weid    Turned the corner

MY FOGGY GLASSES !

Agree he has a crack and uses it well , will be a 100- 200 game player

Spargo was very ordinary and should not be in the side.

A lot of us said he needed the rest and JKH should have played instead.

They ran the ball out of our forward line without any pressure and that was his role and ANB's.

Spargo as I said before will be a good player for us.

As for ANB he is a game killer for us. His turnovers and fumbles are so momentum shifting.

I don't know about his grunt work I hardly saw him lay a tackle, or get close to an opponent, except when he had the ball and then turned it over.

Anyway well done guys you deserve your finals chance after a very good year.

Win next week and we get the chance to pay back the Cats on the G.

Proffer a replacement that will stand scrutiny or keep quiet and support the kid

JKH should never play a game again list clogger I'd take Spargo any day of the week over him. Spargo wasn't too bad.

I said stand scrutiny

Just now, Satyriconhome said:

Your sizeism is tiring, Bugg was at Casey and poor, Spargo was in Perth

He was poor today plain and simple did not mater how tall he is. I said nothing about his height.

the simple fact is he did pull his wait.

First year player who is clearly showing the signs of having played too many games. Badly in need of a rest.


I thought all 22 did well.

Tyson was good, so I'll put that down to the usual tiresome sledging he cops.

Spargo wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. His spot could be up for grabs going into finals if the likes of Garlett really get going again, but I'm beginning to lose faith that could happen.

Will Viney be fit for the 1st Final?

 

Hogan - Was not missed

Petracca - Went missing late

Spargo - Not AFL standard (yet)

Melbourne - Speed achilles heel

Kent - Bad and good

Frost - Makes us better

West Coast - Few keys out

Weed - Break-out game

Salem - Rarely wastes it

Hibberd - Most important defender

TMac - Goody used wisely

Jetta/Clarry/TMAC/Gawn/Brayshaw - Need a paragraph

Tyson - Joe Boy Correct

 

 

I have never knocked Tyson for memory, but today he frustrated me a little.  Running into traffic for a hand-ball receive.......is obviously slow and takes on the tackler too much, yet has difficulty breaking a tackle.

I'm with Joeboy.  Today's game was nothing to write home about for Dom.

 

BTW, I aint a Tyson-hater.

 

How the hell did Frost stay at Casey for most of the year, and why did we sell the farm for Lever?

I though spargo lost us the game last week against the Swans and almost this week through his inexperience. This can’t happen in finals. For me, Jesse Garret needs to come in for him.

He needs to get fitter, needs to streamline his body, more muscle, he’s an 18 year old kid and will be a good midfielder in future

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
