My 3 word player analysis V The Faints

it simply seemed an awkward style of play, as if the lads really had no heart for it. Like a house of cards.. it only takes a few to become ineffective resulting in some messed up forward thrusts and it becomes contagious. Nothing seemed natural which is what makes me think it was a team instruction.

    Someone has quoted me on that site...not me writing it.. or is your diminutive sconce incapable of undestanding the diference.

    It was a direct quote from your post here and comments like that are not appreciated. Number of posts does not qualify you from some sort of exemption from being castigated for making troll like comments. No need to attempt to insult me, a review of your post will make it clear who has the "diminutive sconce".

    im not trash talking dees.. im making a comment based upon events..its called opinion...repeat after me..O- Pin- yun !!...i didnt go out and play like sh!t.. 22 others ( less a few ) did that all by themselves.

    "Where's my skis" does not constitute an opinion, it is a smart arse wise crack based on misplaced stereo types of our supporters and I am offended by its wanton use by a long term troll. Comments about how the players played show your ignorance, you can guarantee they were trying their hardest at this stage and have no doubt they will improve and peak when it counts the most. It is clear you have never played the game at any reasonable level.

    Most of us here abide by the game...that is ..a persons word is up for grabs... but you play the ball not the man... since you are incapable of this why dont you run along lil boy ( read TROLL ) and go play in anothers kindergarten and leave the commentary to some grown ups !!

    I will play the man when I suspect that the man I am going after is not all he seems but a troll from another site trying to cause trouble. Petty insults reflect more on you indefensible position than on me. I have read a few of your posts and the site would not be the worse without you, you over value your own contributions.

    The quote on the other site was a direct quote from your post here, and then later you have the audacity to brag about it.

    I don't even know what this sentence is trying to say. "Verbotten" and "alud" - are they even words?

    We were all disapointed with the performance and rational and sound criticism of specific aspects of the performance is fine, but when you add "where's my skis" and then go bragging about posting this to stir things up, that is unacceptable.

    You can have your opinion as to our performance on Friday night, I do not share your negative view as to how this establishes us for the year, your "where's the skis" post is simply trolling, and you do yourself no favours bragging about it in another place.

    He said it as a joke.

    Get over it.

    devastated, week 1 all is not lost but that was the first game I've ever been at and walked out before the final siren. I can cop losing but playing a pathetic game style like we played tonight I can't take. we are not Sydney, we are not west Coast, we are Melbourne we have to find our own game plan that works for us and not try to play like something we are not.. I watched Hotter then hell 1998 this morning, ND backed his players, not like tonight. Footy is an easy game all you have to do is outscore your opponent, tonight we didn't try to kick goals we tried to stop our St Kilda kicking goals, defensive midset from the start.

    Don't blame Miller or Yze because they are easy targets our game plan is a disgrace and full blame should be placed on ND. Worst coaching performance I've ever seen, trying to make our team something we are not. We are an attacking football team that is best when we control the coridor and kick long to one of the best forward lines in the competition and back our players.

    As I said I have never before tonight left before the final siren but tonight was a disgrace.

    Could not agree more - this was a pathetic display - no game plan, no direction, handballing to stationary targets when we're already clear, no leadership and no-one prepared to put their hand up and take a chance. It was a disgrace.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
