Gawn - failed to dominateĀ 

Viney - used ball poorly

Oliver - rarely effective disposalĀ 

Petracca - tried but limited

Tomlinson - seemingly without passion

Brayshaw - just a game

Langdon - had little influenceĀ 

Salem - overrated and slow

Harmes - loose and slow

Hibberd - good first half

Melksham - not team focused

Hannan - tried but lackingĀ 

Rivers - some costly turnoversĀ 

May - steady and reliableĀ 

Fritsch - couldn’t get involved

McDonald - devoid of effort

Lockhart - tried but clumsy

Thank goodness for May being steady and reliable and for Hibbards first half, otherwise we would not have been within 15 goals as I read this

Gawn - Game-style doesn't suit

Viney - Sh?t footy brain

Oliver - going backwards fast

Petracca - reliably consistently inconsistent

Tomlinson - Reject going nowhere

Brayshaw - one good season

Langdon - not the answer

Salem - Pick 9 wasted

Harmes - best is ordinary

Hibberd - it's been said

Melksham - isĀ not Busustow

Hannan - Footscray wins trade

Rivers - definately worth persisting

May - Play him forwardĀ 

Fritsch - good fourth stringer

McDonald - Play him back

Lockhart - making his way

Lever - where's the leadership?

Hunt - Goody can't coach

Pickett - will play 200

Smith - lost in space

vandenBerg - love him but . . .Ā 

Ā 

And we lost by only 3 point with more scoring shots, more inside 50s, fewer clangers, more clearances, more hit outs, more contested possessions and more frees. Hate to think what would be said if we lost by double the margin.

And what if the last shot a goal had been a bit more to the right.Ā  It's not the players, it's the lack of a coherent reliable system. Dock the pay of the coach until he works it out.

Strewth you can argue TMac’s impact but lack of effort? Got too numerous contests, took one front on and kicked an important goal in a shizen game.Ā 

Brayshaw : Team needs more minutes of him

Lever : GoodĀ  arm waver. Too big to be a rover/Too light to be big.=> in between

Petracca : Class considering tagged.

Harmes : Underutilised

Tomlinson/LAngford/ Hibberd : Stop Bombing

Viney / :Ā  Get Ball / DisposalĀ  ????

Oliver : Take game on !!!

Gawn : Shining light

Pickett/Rivers/Lochart : Give them time

Mc Donald : Lone big fwd very difficult spot

Fritsch : Suffered from poor delivery

Assessment of May, Rivers and Fritta about the only things I agree with.

Brayshaw was our most effective player.

Smith did some good things.

Viney stood up.

A dismal effort! Give up joeboy. Your analysis is about as incisive as a Lou Richard's prediction of who will win next week! (and Lou's not even around to make that prediction)

A bit harsh on Brayshaw, thought he was one of our best and kicked 2.

Salem should be everyone’s biggest worry. That jog after the 50 was a disgrace. He should be dominating now yet he’s just an average half backer. He’s gotta be up for trade at this years end you’d think.Ā

This entire thread would have been completely different for starters.Ā  That's how fickle this place can be sometimes.Ā 

I can’t stand seeing such scathing criticism of Viney.

It’sĀ hard to think of any player who does more to give his all for hisĀ club. He throws himself in , gets the hard ball from impossible positions, then does his best to move the ball on from congestion. What a gutsy team player! Ā I admire him greatly, and it hurts to see fellow supporters suggesting we should trade him.

Keep fighting for us, Jack, you’re a Demon through and through!

Ā 

Joeboy - look on brightside!

Gawn - hitouts need re-direction

Viney - valiant but flawed

Oliver - coal face warrior

Petracca - offensive instincts wasted

Tomlinson - last chance astray

Brayshaw - opportunism has rewards

Langdon - ever ready man

Salem - kick to win

Harmes - midfield best role

Hibberd - provided needed physicality

Melksham - needs kick up...

Hannan - cameo performance today

Rivers -Ā  second game blues

May -Ā  punch and judy

Fritsch - KFP too small

McDonald - building personal momentum

Lockhart - kept attacking game

Lever - demonland pinup boy

Hunt - strangely off kilter

Pickett - add killer finish

Smith - some positive signs

VandenBerg - appeared to fatigue

Goodwin - call Roosy now!

MFC - melancholy flash cats

MFC- More F#@$&*% Crap

Lockhart - He who hesitates.....

Tmac - Needs support badly

Hibberd- Loved his aggression

Fritta- A wasteful Footballer

Gawn- Some brain fades

Lever- losing this trade

Langdon- just can't kick

Hannan- Not usual self

Vanders- Not there yet

Trac- quiet one today

Viney- Tough but wasteful

Tomlinson- Coulda woulda shoulda

Salem- Hasn't come on

May- Better performance today

Smithy- Lacking footy smarts

Kosi- Will be special

Melk- lost his invincibility

Rivers- Keep on persisting

Brayshaw - proven finishing skills

Harmes- Just Looks lost

Hunty- Starved of opportunity

Oliver- Ā In and under

Goodwin- Saved by Covid

Ā

I'm not convinced about that. We were woeful. A win would not have hidden that, just at didn't hide the last 2 quarters of the blues game.


I think we played better than what Joeboy thinks.

I don't know why all the hatred for Smith Smith was good. Our backline is not the problem it's the forward line.

MAY - BLOODY GOOD EFFORT

SALEM - UNUSUALLY REALLY QUIET

HARMES - BACKLINE IS BEST

PETRACCA - CREATED SOME SPARK

VINEY - GREAT LAST QUARTER

LEVER - DONE THE JOB

BRAYSHAW - HIT THE SCOREBOARD

GAWN - SHOULD HAVE DOMINATED

OLIVER - NOT HIS BEST

HIBBERD - GREAT RETURN GAME

LANGON - NOT AS PROLIFIC

MELKSHAM - ABSOLUTELY BLOODY TERRIBLE

HANNAN - PREFER UNFIT BENNELL

TOMLINSON - REALLY TRIED HARD

VANDENBERG - WAS REALLY INDERDONE

RIVERS - SECOND GAME BLUES

T.MCDONALD - FINALLY TOOK MARK

HUNT - WAS BARELY SIGHTED

FRITSCH - CONTINUES POOR SEASON

PICKETT - AN EXCITEMENT MACHINE

LOCKHART - MUST REALISE TACKLER

SMITH - REALLY SOLID GAME

Ā 

It's 1 quarter of football that is really letting us down ATM. We must fix it along with the forward line.

I might have watched a different game. Kozzy wasĀ all buzz with noĀ impact. Smith was ok. Rivers looked lost. Melksham looked disinterested and has forgotten how to chase.Ā Hannan was ok considering how long it is since he has played at this level. And despite the love for Lockhart on this forum, he simply isn'tĀ ready.Ā

No one has ever doubted his guts and determiination. Team players create opportunities for others and link play. Vivey does neither very well and has had a golden run of valuable onĀ Ā ball time at the expense of others all the while roving under the best tap ruckman in the league. He should be considered for trade on the same terms as all the other players if this season goes that way it might.

Melksham - Dan Butler's position

Ā 

I think a live wire goalsneak would've been more creative around the goals and not wasted all the opportunities Melk did. Why are we playing half forwards deep and trying to turn them into Gary Ablett?

Agree with the first part, completely disagree with the second part.Ā 

Did I watch the wrong game yesterday? Usually Joeboy's analysis is fairly similar to mine. Sure, there areĀ some differences, but it looks toĀ  me like we watched two completely different performances yesterday.

Ā 

I'd swear I was reading the three word analysis from last year's game where we lost by 80 pts.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
