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.

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.

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 

Ā 

Ā 

Ā 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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
