My 3 word player analysis V GWS


joeboy

Recommended Posts

Gawn - intimidated by Mumford

Viney - was a liability 

Harmes - fumbled and slow

Oliver - season worst game

Petracca - prolific without effect

McDonald - our best tall

May - tight as ever

Hibberd - always under pressure 

Salem - continued superlative form

Petty - never imbued confidence 

Hunt - not Usain Bolt

Langdon - couldn’t get involved 

Jackson - couldn’t impose himself

Pickett - hit the wall 

Spargo - schoolboy footballer again

Neal-Bullen - did nothing regularly

Sparrow - overawed and overwhelmed 

Fritsch - only some cameos 

Lever - easily our best

Brayshaw - loose and unaccountable 

Jordan - had little involvement 

Rivers - was rarely sighted

Gawn was not intimidated by Mumford. He was illegally getting smashed by Mumford while 3 umpires stood by and watched. He has every right to demand half the protection the likes of Selwood and Bont get. He’s as good a player!

Agree. Maxy was not intimidated.  I watched the whole game and Maxy did whatever he could to lift us.  It was not his fault we lost today at all.

thought harmes tried very hard and played an usual role at half forward had no support and got bagged by his own players when he tried to barrell a goal when the rest of them where just plodding around

After reading the '2 minutes hate' version of the 3 word review, I now officially forgive Joeboy for all those time he labelled Tyson 'prolific but wasteful' (even that one time when he was injured).?

Disagreed with Harmes and Max, but mostly on the money.

A bit generous on Mcdonald. As good as he was,  his goal kicking undid all of his good work imo. 

Langdon still got 25 touches too. So I thought he got involved, especially late. 

Also Jordon is spelt Jordon

Anyone else notice a fair bit of bagging between our players when shots were sprayed. Player has a shot and others arms go up complaining you didn't kick to me

Yes I did. Harmes seemed to be copping a fair bit of lip from the players walking off at half time. Lever was the only one who offered him some solace at the time from what I saw. Lever had his arm on Harmes back and was explaining something to him. I have notice a bit of a disconnect between some of our players recently. Not sure what is going on.

Unfortunately Oliver is often very demonstrative when he’s not kicked to.. I agree it’s not a good look, particularly coming from someone like him who usually only has eyes for Trac at the expense of a better option

Underperformers receiving the passed buck - to diminish their own poor efforts - through disguised credibility to comment in the first place.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
