Frost - think/act quicker

Gawn - never gave up

Tmac - much better effort

Stretch - earned another game

Garlett - worth a try

Smith - that, and better

Melksham - showed up mids

Salem - one with class

Hibberd - played fumble ball

Agree. No ability to judge the footy. Needs to go back to Casey. 

Probably needs delisting to tell the truth. His run and pace is exciting to watch,  until he butchers the disposal or fumbles when receiving the footy. Also goes missing during huge swathes of the game. [censored] it's depressing.

No they are both just average players with one attribute and that is agression/hardness.

Jones has been a good servant, Finished now. Viney is not a Captain. Captain Chaos for mine.

WTF? He hasn't had 3 good quarters for the season, let alone this game. Frost had been the beneficiary of the omac hate on here, but seriously the guy has no football IQ, looks lost whenever the ball is not directly in front of him, and turns out over horribly at least a few times a game. All while just doing a specific job, not playing a zone like the rest of the defenders. 

 

No idea.  

When a team is so slow, Frost stands out like a beacon.  His tackling has gone up a notch too.

 

My only criticism of him is to run and take them on more.

He has speed and strength but no idea really how to use it. He is consistently out maneuvered or pushed under the ball when in good positions. When he does run with it he'll either fluff the kick or send it to an out number then stand there watching as it comes back over his head. He's an athlete not a true footballer

He is not a defender.

Should be played on a wing with his height and 

speed. When Lever and May return Goodwin might actually work it out.

I thought they should have moved him forward last night onto Grimes or vlauston, told him to stay with them and only run forward if we can get it over the top. He will stick with a man, but his inability to read the play is a big issue, if he's taken to the ball he's then half a chance, but that's a much bigger issue in defence

He & Hunt on opposite wings. I hope when May/Lever r back Goodwin does it. I've thought they should be wingers 4 ages. Also Fritter must be a forward not a defender.

Love the idea of Hunt in principle but he is not a  natural footballer.

Fritta is a forward, once again re-iterated.

No...  I mean we've got to import some players at the draft this year,  and reboot for better play  in 2020.

Nothing to do with grand finals, if that's what you meant.

Saw vision of Jones on bench he had the look of a player who knows his time is up

Jones needs to be put either forward pocket or back pocket, or back in the middle, his pace and ball skills are being found out on wing. He’s been an absolute champion of the club and needs to be able to go out on his terms!

Did he play wing against Richmond? He certainly played large periods of the game in the backline and spent some time as the starting 4 at centre bounces, but I don't recall him being used on the wing. Thankfully. My preferred spot for him right now is as a small forward with occasional runs on the ball.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
