I doubt you see a realist.


Viney - tom mitchell who

Jones - the quiet achiever

T.McDonald - hero we needed

Melksham - a clutch player

Brayshaw - quiet but good

Spargo - same as above

Weideman - more to come (Same as last week)

Petracca - couldn't be stopped

Neal-Bullen - very quiet game 

Gawn - game of moments

Hannan - competed for everything

vandenBerg - kicking was poor

Harmes - great three quarters

Salem - best kick alive

Fritsch - brave and ambitious

Frost - won his battle 

Hibberd - quick and clean

Jetta - never gets beaten

Lewis - safe and tough (he learned what free kick hawthorn is)

O.McDonald - Tough and composed

Oliver - proper [censored] head

Tyson - looked very sore (big last qtr but)

Just wanted to say i think everybody competed tonight. It's all that you can ask for really. Hannan had 6 touches but i think he flew for 5 or 6 marks and created a contest every time. Same as Tyson, he may not be quick or as clean as our other mids but he chased everything and did what he could.

Then you and I are in a minority.  You can add Mitch Duncan and Josh Caddy while you are at it.

Breust is only ever icing on the cake.  In a dominant team, he will kick 4.  MFC supporters and many others have been sucked into his actual individual brilliance.  This guy would have done zilch if he was at Melbourne for most of this decade.

Go to any hot hard final that Hawthorn has played in, and he has done nothing other than the odd 'joe the goose' over the top.

Come on Spargo 2 involvements. Try 7

Mate, I gave Spargo the glass-half-full treatment.

 

If I was brutally honest, the 3 words he would have got from me was "Lucky to Play"

For a glass-jaw like you, just accept the '2 important contributions'.

Tyson is a whipping boy but is needed in the clinches.

Tyson has to 'know his limitations', and sometimes doesn't.

Unlike Vanders, he is so easy to tackle.  Hence, Tyson shouldn't take the tackler on.  Tyson is also treacle.  Lewis might actually have him for pace.  Hence (II) Tyson's radar/antennae for footy awareness must be on-song.

So…Jetta's BOG for beating a bad player? Right.

Not bad JB. Agree with most.

Tyson was good in the last. Lucky for him or else he might have gone out.

Melk sat on Sicily according to Goody in the presser so whilst he was quite he did his job as Sicily didn't hurt us.

Fritter made a few bad errors but jeez he has good hands and reads the ball beautifully. Great move putting him down back. 

Omac - aka Dr Cool - played a super committed game. Got pole axed big time at one point in the second q and wobbled up to fight another contest. Ahe is a really nice kick. Fritter, Omac, Salem, Hibberd and Jetts are all good reliable kicks which is super important coming out from our back half. 

The back six and maxy saved us in the second quarter with their fantastic desperation. 

I nearly considered putting Melksham in my votes for his performance because he substantially diminished Sicily's influence. I thought he played a super, selfless game. The two goals in the last were icing on the cake (unless you're a channel Seven commentator in which case, it's "cream on the cake".)

and he should get some math tutoring

I will consult with my English tutor about the non-pluralisation of the word "math" and starting sentences with the lower-case conjunction that is "and".

Stay tuned.

Gee wiz, who was I a tad negative about?

Fritch and Tyson.  1 week later, Fritch is dropped and Tyson conceded he was "nervous" about his selection.

 

 

Your optometrist only sells rose-colored devices.

I was referring to your comments about Spargo which were way off the mark. But I doubt you will listen.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
