Juk3b0x - great 37th post

Thanks @binman ? Have gone for quality over quantity over the years... particularly enjoy Joeboy’s contribution each game day, and I was irked!

Just to stay on topic:

Brayshaw - Barbieonions the ball butcher

 

GAWN    the match winner

Petrac     another match winner

Oliver       Yet another star

Weid         Form of 2018

Fritta         finally coming good

Oscar        you belong here

Hibberd     proving doubters wrong

Picket        coming along well

Bennell      clean and cool

Hannan      will get better

Jackson     is our future

Langdon     great pick up

REST OF TEAM    all played part.

 

 

Joeboy - serotonin levels up

Gawn - lion hearted performance

Viney - beast is back

Petracca -  infinity and beyond

Jetta - experience plus composure

May - attacking defensive mentality

McDonald - Oscar for Oscar

Salem - lose Hollywood tinsel

Hibberd - less run today

Melksham - leather poisoning unlikely

Fritsch - better off leash

Jackson -  some terrific involvements

Pickett - creative pocket dynamo

Bennell - classy forward contributions

VandenBerg - physicality on show

Brayshaw - simmering off boil

Oliver - just add polish

Hannan -  set ball rolling

Weideman- stamped his presence

Harmes - synchronicity off kilter

Langdon - ever ready energiser

Lever -  clever football IQ

Lockhart - must be 1%'s

Goodwin - praiseworthy coaching performance

MFC -  made footy combative

Umpires - some possession clangers

 

 

Team - played their role

Finally the selection carousel is coming around to perhaps the best balanced group to play a high level attacking game plan. Let it settle and develop for a few weeks.


As others have said I think Brayshaw showed glimpses this week. He took risks which in the main did not come off but they will.

I'm not sold on AVB but he got a pass from me today.

Gawn - Dominated the game

Viney - Great with ball

Petracca - Remember the name

Jetta - Getting better still 

May - Best game yet

McDonald - Great with Lever 

Salem - Attitude was great

Hibberd - Recapturing his form 

Melksham - Sprinkle of class

Fritsch - Very consistent form

Jackson - Seemed to belong 

Pickett - Has it all 

Bennell - Classy with ball

vandenBerg - Tough and smart 

Brayshaw - Needs to lift 

Oliver - Good not great

Hannan - Made a difference 

Weideman - Best game yet

Harmes - Needs to lift

Langdon - Speed is crucial

Lockhart - Is getting better

Lever - Composure, leadership and smarts

Easy to see favourites here. Kozzy versus Melksham.  Too much praise for the first - yes, he's exciting to  watch and he kicked two goals. But only 6 disposals at 66% efficiency. He's got talent all right and one day he might rival Farmer. But not now. 

Not enough recognition of the latter. Melksham played his role. Nine disposals at 88% efficiency and five marks and a goal. 

Credit where it's due.

 

A very nice win yesterday,      No Changes, keep it settled,   All played their role, some previously seen as out of form, getting back to better games.  Damm nice to win well over the Hawks...

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
