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.

PickettĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā Jeff Farmer like.

LangdonĀ  Ā  Good first up.

GawnĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  was outpointed today.

VineyĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Classy, Heart, courageous.

SpargoĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā back to basics.

LockhartĀ  Ā  Is getting better.

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.

PetraccaĀ  Ā  Ā played his role.

OliverĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā look for someone.

MelkshamĀ  Ā  Ā one goalĀ  Hmmmmm!

GoodwinĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā must be wondering.


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

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.Ā They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season.Ā Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table.Ā The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hopeĀ that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, MelbourneĀ captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles atĀ Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.Ā  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, aĀ career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested),Ā nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.Ā
