My 3 word player analysis V The Dorks

Recommended Posts

You Miller bashers never give up! You've been screeming about how he only gets worthless possessions up the ground and never kicks goals. So, on a day where he presented all day and took three strong marks inside the 50 and goaled from all of them he is still a failure?

Miller- a capable display.

I've been very critical of Miller. Today he played a capable CHF's game. Presented, kicked 3 (admittedly one of them just floated through), took one really good mark and a few gimmes, gave off adequately. IE: he played like a reasonable CHF. If he can go on from there and use this game as a benchmark, he just might turn into a handy footballer - considering he was a speculative draft pick in the 60's.

McDonald and Jones, it's fair to say, kept us going on the ball

Whelan was solid,

Carroll worked hard under pressure

Bell, again, was a solid performance

Brown and Ward were some of our better running-creative players

Green, Moloney, Miller, Robertson, Jamar, Rivers and Godfrey were mostly OK and sometimes good

White & Jamar, Johnson, Wheatley and Bate all struggled

But Johnstone and Davey are where I'm really worried.

Gotta get that magic back, hell, they ARE our magic

But seriously, "Bruce - no longer elite"?

Ho hum.

I'm real impressed by your bagging. No really. I can't wait to see you at training, telling it like it is to the coaching staff, who obviously are in real need of your advice...

Doesn't matter, it went through ;) !!!

Miller was sensational today

I am with YM on this particular issue.....

If there was a positive to be taken out of this mess it was the game we saw from Miller today.

It was undoubtedly a vast improvement on recent times and hopefully a mark of things to come.

Whelan - not his best

Carroll - patchy in spots

Bell - rounding into form

Brown - normal browny game

Rivers - good in return

Ward - no impact felt

Johnstone - brent grgic like

Johnson - not hard enough

Green - 150th or 15th?

Davey - did he play??(he barely went near it)

Moloney - good in parts

McDonald - worked hard

Robertson - missed some chances

Neitz - only played 5mins

Jones - did his job

Miller - good, needed support

Jamar - played well forward

Bate - good and raw

Wheatley - played below standard

Bruce - missing top gear

White - won the ruck

Godfrey - played with purpose

Whelan was solid

Whelan was woeful. One of his worst performances in a long time.

Maybe he's still suffering the affects from last week's injury. I guess we let him off the hook for once, because he's always been a sensational, hard-working player.

But he was terrible yesterday, Williams made a meal of him, and he got frustrated and gave away silly free kicks.

Bell should have been given the role on Williams a lot sooner. Sadly, the coaches box has the reaction time of a senior centre.

Actually wrecker started beautifully. But yes, he's that good a player that we haven't seen him play that badly in a LONG time, if at all. The new rules aren't helipng his tough-as-old-boots game, and the umpires were on him like a rash. Not making excuses, it certainly wasn't his day, and he should learn to adapt... but he's got enough brownie points in the bank for us to chalk this up as an abberration haven't we?

I thought :

Miller was good. Tried hard, put himself in the game and kicked 3.

Carroll put in another serviceable game

Junior was good - last Q terrific but all to late

Jones - showed in the last Q how good a player he will be.

Bell - Not many possessions but tried hard. Is a late developer and should be ok.

Bruce - good

Rivers - Tried hard

Bate - not far off being a good player. Got caught a couple of times. Needs games under his belt.

Not much to say about the rest.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
