Bit harsh on Brayshaw

 His possesion count was low by his standards (which may reflect his role) but I think he had the 3rd highest tackle count ,which is an area he needs to work on. He has been squeezed out of the midfield by rank in that Viney wants in there and oliver's natural position is as a ball magnet . CLArrie was magnificent in the last qtr.

Whilst ANB did have a high tackle/pressure count, he misses too many shots (set and snaps) to be a really top small fwd. Pity, because his effort level is great.


Tom McDonald - FMD in fact FMSeason 

Finally after a difficult season he hits good form and !!!

Are there still any non believers in the Curse of Norm Smith?

Edited by monoccular

Mostly agree, only ones I'd change personally are...

Viney - Bullocking but dumb.

Frost - Contract extension time.

Brayshaw - Should be dropped.

Dunkley - Coupla nice moments.

I didn't see the game. How did Hunt in our forward zone cost us 4 goals? Name the occasions please.

Very good question Booby I am as mistified as you. Kicked 3 goals including the winner. Not a bad effort for a half forward. 

Edited by old dee


Hunt had a handpass late on the wing southern side and we are streaming forward desperate to halt the Hordes from RPC (Royal Parade Cheaters).

Hunt needed to find a team-mate, who had implied pressure so handpass had to hit target (that's an expectation at this level) but ball bounced in front of team-mate (can't recall who) and it was TO - can't recall if RPC got a goal out of it but that was one.

Hunt did take a contested and well judged mark in the third term and then converted but I agree with comment Hunt caused three other TOs.

Some of his defensive work & tackling were A grade today.

He saved us on a number of occasions with a hand in or by sticking a big tackle.

Wasn't a big possession game but he played his part...

 


Geez l thought it was a good effort with our injuries.

In years gone by likely to have been a different outcome.

Missed a simple handball on the wing that would have put us in the clear and into an empty f50 with numbers advantage, instead he turned it over and they kicked a goal.

Second a poor handball 10 meters out from goal resulted in a scramble instead of an easy goal.

centred the ball at the top of the 50 to an outnumber whilst under no pressure and they ran it down the other end.

He turned the ball over badly with simple skill errors.

He was as bad as he was good.

Keep playing

Petty needs games

Dunkley clever skills

Wiedeman future key

Sure, finally decided to lay a tackle once he was put in the middle, but still seems to be struggling to get around to contests. 2 clearances is poor IMO, and his disposal is not any better. Just think he's been 'off' all year and if he's carrying a niggle (which I've heard is the case) he should be sent off to get right for preseason.

He missed weed in exactly the same way after that. Cost us a certain goal (he hits the handpass and weed kicks an easy goal from the goal square). It went straight up the other end for a goal.

Not long after he missed an easy target inside 50 by foot, which is par for the course for us, But the problem was that he turned it over in tbe corridor and it got swept down tbe other end. Fortunately not for a goal i don't think.

So, yes as one of the commentators noted he was given a chance to redeem his errors. And all credit to him that he took that chance.

There was another bad mistake that seemed to  escape the commentators attention and demonland's as well. On that last kick by hannan he had hunt and brayshaw on over the top, with hunt being completely in the clear. Should have handball it to him and hunt would have run into an open goal.

Missed this post. Could have saved myself some time by quoting it!

The odd splattered disposal is a feature of Hunt’s game in general unfortunately, particularly by hand. I place him in a similar category to Frost - plays an exciting style of game and does a lot right, but always a chance to do a few things in a game that make your eyes water.

Surprised at the negativity on Jones’ game. I thought he had a pretty tidy game, especially considering he was on for the entire second half without break. Where and when were these terrible mistakes?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
