I thought you were a bit harsh on him but you were right he's not up to it and never will be, sadly we have quite a few that are not up to it.

MayĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā did his part.

OscarĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Better than bro.Ā 

HibberdĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā not hard enough.

FritchĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  must kick goals.

I’d love to know what was going on with Oliver andĀ TMac - both of them looked absolutely knackered from the first bounce. They each had the look of someone who has been ill.

To be fair, he was pretty good against the Hawks in the last Marsh series game. Sadly though, the intensity went up another level and he wasn't able to cope.Ā

Agreed, and Max too. They looked physically or mentally tired from the start. Ā I'm curious why?

A measured response joeboy... congrats for not going too hard on a bunch of young men who were cast into an impossible situation!

I think 'impossible' is a bit of a Steven Stretch.Ā  Who was cast into impossible situations?Ā  Travelling teams?Ā  All teams?Ā  Just the MFC?

If Melbourne accepted the Mission Impossible; I guess we can convince ourselves thatĀ West Coast thrived on Mission Improbable.Ā  What we saw in that game was a replica of 2019's standard.

Ā 

As for Joeboy's generosity...and against-all-odds predicaments....

Dom Tyson currently shaking his head, and thinking "didn't I dislocate my knee cap on camp horribilis and continued squatting, jogging, kneeling through incline and decline.Ā  Now that is an impossible situation".

Ā 

Ā 

Joeboy, unlike Dom, I rush to this after every game.Ā  This has always been the modicom of clarity and objectivity on this site.Ā  If this is the new you, you might get more likes, but at the risk of selling your soul.

THE Summary of the 3 word is spot on But it is hard to play in a side that firstly has to counter elite disposal and organisation look again at the First Quarter we just Butchered the Ball and took wrong OptionsĀ  our new Players also need some time to Adjust to our style exception Picket and LangdonĀ 

I would spend the next 8 weeks drilling the players on creating Space backing up another and use of the Ball BETTER one thing the West Coast Juicers have is a System we dont however we canĀ  BY just drilling it in to the players remember we had more use of the BallĀ 

I feel sorry for our Forwards but they too dont lead or organise correctly WCoast can be beaten if it becomes one on one .

Next Game be Daring Play Weidman Jackson Jones and Salem ( all can Kick)and persistĀ  with them dont Play Tomlison on a Wing but down Back he could become elite with Lever and May play Petracca in the middle Oliver on a Flank Harmes as a tagger and Melksham as a defensive Forward Fritsch at FFĀ 

Ā

Kozzzy Pickett

I was super impressed in game number 1. Ā Hope the coaches don’t overthink how he should play. Ā Pressure. Tackle. Crumb. Attack. Kick goals. Ā That’s it Ā !

In 3 words...

love the energy

impressive debut gameĀ 

ignite the flame

Indeed did exceed expectations and can't believe his and Toby'sĀ Ā  goal did not rate in the Goal of the Year.

Toby promising -and not our worst by any means.

Brown too fumblyĀ and couldn't catch a cold Not strong enough in contest.

Langdon Great runner but really needs to uplift decision making to forwards as do most of Dees mids.

Tomlinson Often Ā got caught between The West Coast Speedsters. Let's see over longer period as great vs Hawks in Marsh 2.

Never seen less interest in this thread - reflection on this [censored] of a year not the thread - thanks joeboyĀ

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
