Melksham - best rarely seen

Neal-Bullen - rarely justified selection 

Oliver - prolific, rarely outstanding 

Petracca - exciting in bursts 

Petty - showed some promise 

Preuss - rarely justified selection

Salem - disappointing second half 

T.Smith - tried but deficient 

Spargo - just a schoolboy 

Stretch - has exhausted chances

Viney - never got going

C.Wagner - only Casey standard

J. Wagner - like his brother

Weideman - poor before injuries

 

I find myself disagreeing with your 3 word analysis often - but this one is pretty much spot on. 

 

Great summation Joeboy.  Have enjoyed your work all season - much more than the performance of the team.


 

Goodwin - clock is ticking

Football department - trade period important

National Draft - need an A-grader 

 

T Mac was very disappointing in the first half of the year but I feel this assessment would’ve been different had he not got injured.

In 2 of the last 3 games he played, he had a direct influence on our wins vs Freo and Carlton and appeared to be on an upward trajectory.


Retired

Lewis & Maynard

Need 5-6 more to go

Garlett - cooked

Hannan - between injured and too big a difference from his very good to awful

J Wagner - tries hard but lacks skill & reading of the game

keilty - good - very good VFL, just not AFL

Hore - very good plus at VFL, under pressure at AFL doesn’t make it, very close, Pies let very few good ones go!

T Smith - almost good enough but 29

C Wagner - VFL very very good, maybe survives as back up!!

There are a few older players who need to hit back next year, such as Hibberd and Jetta. I think Garlett will be gone, and I think Jones will get one more year, but won’t be best 22 imo.

VG but a little tough on Hore. I think he has the desire to work on deficiences.

Only two I have major misginings about getting rid of are Hore and Corey Wagner. oth of them were 1st year players and need a bit of time to develop. Hore did not come back from his injured shoulder real well. Cory shwed a bit of go in the last couple of games , enough to indicate he is picking up the pace. A bit like Lockart and Dunkley. A fair bit of upside from all of them.

I don't always agree with your 3 word analysis JoeBoy, but I do enjoy reading them - thanks!

Nice summary joeboy

Lockhart a bit better than a bit player, I think you’ve nailed the rest

Agree. I have high hopes for him. I hope he proves you wrong Joeboy.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
