0 disposals 0 marks 0 1%ers  ..  clearly has to go

I agree that Tommy is on very thin ice and that Fritsch is a poor kick on goal but the rest of what you say I can't agree with.

Milkshake I'd certainly keep and ditto for the rest.

Jonesy should hang them up, I agree with that.

Spargo a poor game with 2 rippers in the bank. Fritta was good today with 8 marks.

Weid is good but canr seem to maintain his intent for 4 qrtrs.

Hannan, Harmes and Tmac have had their day it seems.

Pickett is just starting out so needs more time.

Back to the drwaing board.

To be fair to Goody who would want this bloody iob.

Five  years on $600,000? I'd love his job please.

Viney would be a great Rugby player as he tries to beat tackle after tackle after tackle. I'll say it again Fritsch is soft and a very unreliable kick for goal/

yes agree.....58% efficiency & 9 turnovers for Viney.....kills us!

 

Joe boy

You are too black and white. Win, we have so many good players, lose we have few. Today we lost by 28 points not 128 points. Yet you could find only two players worth their salt.They must have played brilliantly to keep the losing margin under 5 goals. Sorry mate, but today you were over the top in your criticism. BUT that is your perogative. I simply beg to differ.


Viney - doing too much.

Petracca - lacked usual impact

Brayshaw - No real impact.

Oliver - One good goal.

Fritsch - kicking woes continue. 

Hibberd- was well beaten

Lever - Makes poor decisions.

May - Ultimate Oscar upgrade.

McDonald - Moves like grandpa.

Weideman - Kicked his 2

Langdon - Found usual space

Tomlinson - barely noticed him

Melksham - costly brain-fades

vandenBerg - More costly frees

Pickett - slow fu$%#ng down!

Lockhart - Not out worst

Harmes - In wrong position

Hannan - lost his way

Spargo - Looks slow again

Preuss - Had a crack

Salem: Just a game. 

 

 

Viney    Pressure exposed limits

Oliver   Liarising at times

Brayshaw  Lack of concentration

Petracca   Few easy kicks

Fritta   Gotta kick em

Hibberd  Tough day today

Lever Starting to mark

Mc Donald  Time for Brown

May Giving his all

Wiedeman   Needs support act

Melksham Not a leader

Spargo  Not quite right

Hannan Not quite right

Pickett  Needs Jackson, Bennell

Salem  Am not sold 

Lockhart  Work in progress

Harmes  Wasting a player

Langdon  Faded a bit

AVB  Where is position

Absolutely. Also needs to compete a little harder in the second halves.

I think Fritsch is probably getting away with a lot more than he should due to his couple of goals each week.

He’s getting a fair few looks at it, but is very selective as to when he has a crack.

Fritsch and Melksham give zero defensive pressure and neither are consistent enough to demand the respect of their opponent. 
 

Forward line is still an issue and will be for as long as Melksham gets an armchair ride

Love Melks for his kicking, but he is costing us goals each week through lack of concentration, effort and attitude. He needs to be dropped otherwise he'll keep doing what he's doing and getting away with it because he's mates with the coach. For example he missed a 20m kick for goal by kicking into the man on the mark - very costly at that point in the game and then giving away 50m penalties - not good enough from a very experienced player. Same goes for Hibberb kicking 15m across HFF to the opposition and costing us a goal. We need to bring in players like Rivers and Bennell for these 2. Obviously Preuss goes out for Max. Then perhaps Jordon for Sparrow injury etc..... I'd even bring in O. Mac for Tommy and play him at CHF. We need to be creative like Beveridge - Goodwin is too conservative - I'm sick of Salem playing HBF where he kicks dinky kicks - play him wing/HFF or on the ball. For that matter I'd rest VDB who apart from the odd bone crunching tackle doesn't do enough.

That 50m penalty was absolute BS.

He is naturally an outside player

Yes, agree that Fritta is an outside player - that's why he should be practising and mastering so many training goals and angular strategies every week for goalkicking reliability. He must score 2 out of every 3 to be any good. Someone mentioned earlier today that TMac got one goal and so in Goody's eyes, he is guaranteed a slot against the Saints. The problem is that the poster is correct. That is pathetic as it is but Goody seems to have turned Fritta into another '...p'raps he will, p'raps he won't...' type of forward.

Almost seven completed years into a rebuild and we have two finals wins to our name with a pretty good list. I must be missing sometime obviously.

When Goody has taken over two high quality teams on the verge of winning a flag and fails then maybe he can compete with Ross

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
