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 

 

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

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
