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.

Yeah he had a great 7 years at Freo. Left them in a hard rebuild like he did at the saints. Saints have taken 9 years to get back to finals

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: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
