My 3 word player analysis V Geelong

 Do you disagree with any evaluation? That is probably a more relevant post than a swipe at Joeboy who is posting a clearly difficult type of thread that will have many critics.

I love Joeboy's 3 word analysis, it's one of the  first threads I read and rather than having a swipe at him I'm offering my opinion on his view.  I don't agree on quite a lot of this comments but that's fine, it's an opinion business.  But I think calling Tmac "embarrassing"  is just unnecessary.  Footy is a team game, some have leading roles, some don't.  I wasn't embarrassed by Tmac's performance, I just thought he had an underwhelming night.  I thought Viney was fantastic in his role all night, I thought ANB was involved for most of the night ( and was mentioned in Goody's presser).  And on it goes.

I read the review in the joy of the best win I've seen Melbourne involved in and to be making comments like "embarrassing" just seemed a very jaundice view.

    Without  Jvs efforts in the first half we would have lost.

    I thought his four quarter effort was fantastic he never gave up

    Viney - tried but lacking

     

    "Tried" is the wrong word IMO. Gave an incredible effort, is more apt.

    Would love to see a highlight package of purely Viney's tackling and unbelievable desperation for that whole game. He was throwing himself at every kick. Didn't always get the smother, but his pressure was immense. Would encourage yourself, and anyone else, to watch the replay with a closer eye on how many times Viney was diving at kicks.

    Gawn - deserved the honour

    Oliver - sealed the Brownlow

    Salem - was surprisingly fumbly

    Viney - tried but lacking 

    Petracca - not as dominant 

    May - met his match

    Harmes - prolific and aggressive 

    Brayshaw - important last quarter

    Pickett - had mercurial moments 

    Lever - outstanding last quarter

    Sparrow - some important touches

    Langdon - impressive first half

    Neal-Bullen - couldn’t get involved 

    Spargo - played his part

    Brown - always provided target

    Fritsch - noticed by absence 

    Rivers - was rarely sighted

    Bowey - performance defied inexperience 

    Smith - hard to define

    Petty - was rarely sighted

    Jackson - season worst performance 

    McDonald - was embarrassingly ineffective 

     

    Viney will  and grunt in the last won the game, bias too much

    Can understand that, but because you didn’t actually say that, that you were disappointed, or disagreed with the analysis of TMac, I misconstrued your point.

    BTW, I thought that win has given these boys supreme belief in their ability to overcome whatever is thrown at them.

    Put the block on a player chasing Kozzie, who then kicked to Fritta for his goal late in the game. Great 1% to JV.

    And not just any player. Someone much bigger than him with elite running capacity in Mark Blicavs.

    For what it's worth, I though Viney played an integral role in the win. However, how can someone with such bloodlines, drive and opportunity (ie, in having a father involved in AFL) have grown up with the inability to kick on his non-preferred? (And his preferred isn't great, either). I think it's consigned Viney to the role of "elite run with player" - an important role, but I suspect not one that he thought he would ever play.

    JV also broke a tackle in the forward pocket in the last quarter to handball to Oliver who subsequently snapped a goal.

    Correct. Not all contributions are noticed by the average fan or journo.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
