What articles have you read or vision have you seen from so-called experts that makes your blood boil?

There was an article by Garry Buckenara about the status of Melbourne's list not more than 12 months ago which makes me fume.

Melbourne is a team full of B-graders with only one player in the elite category, according to list guru Gary Buckenara. He reveals what the Demons must do to improve their squad in his expert analysis.

    🤣🤣🤣what a banana he is

    One of the biggest fruit loops to ever manage a club list, just goes to show you how theses peanuts can make a living for so long.

    Completely no idea whatsoever. The Premiership just goes to show it why he is not in clubland anymore.

    The premiership was wrapped up with the recruitment of Jackson, Kosi and Rivers in 2019.

    No club will be able to live with us for the next 5 years or until they can nullify our once in a lifetime 1-2 combination of Gawn and Jackson in the Ruck.

    Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it Buccky.

    I'd love to hear his evaluation of our list now the stupid fool.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Radio, breakfast show on  RSN 

    Comment

    Every Monday during the season, White has had the benefit of listening to the excellent analysis of Bartel and  Ramanaskus, who have consistently highlighted the dees strengths and likelihood of winning the flag. Despite this, and the mounting evidence, has consistently questioned our bona fides.

    Unable to shake his confirmation bias, he tipped the lions to beat us. Much to the disbelief of Bartel and  Ramanaskus he tipped the Cats to win the prelim. And then, after bartel had made the case the dees would win the GF, cherry picked a brief comment Bartel made about the pressure of playing in a GF to say 'mmm, that has crystalized my thoughts that the dogs will handle the pressure better given their experience in 2016 and i think they' win'. 

    Score

    Who did the Dogs play in the 2016 GF?

    A defensive based approach team in Sydney who have played that way and disgraced the game of Football since Eade came along to their club in 1996.

    The Dogs rely on a pressure based game since Bevo came on board in 2015 but they have a fundamental flaw in their game.

    There ruck stocks and stoppage capabilities are the reasons why i thought we would tear them another one on GF day coupled with the fact they had run the course during a draining travel schedule.

    Lets see how their Ruck and Midfield group bounce back after Stefan Martin being a year older, English physically battered and the scaring a beating like that has on a playing group. 

    Lets see what there made of.

    If you go back to 2016 he said almost identical things about the Tigers and I'd recommend you all try find this and have a read.

    It is actually now a good thing for Buckenara to not rate you, as you will likely win the flag the next year.

    He is honestly a complete joke of a list analyst and has no clue.

    I can't believe they've been paying him to write these columns for 5 years, but here it is:

    Gary Buckenara analyses Richmond’s list after 2016 season

    RICHMOND’s list lacks a combination of A and B-grade talent and their trade target shouldn’t be Travis Cloke but another Magpie instead. GARY BUCKENARA analyses Richmond’s list.

    "I don’t think the list they’ve got right now is good enough to win a premiership."

    The team then went on to win 3 of the next 4 Premierships!

    So yeah, lets hope Bucky continues to rate Petracca a B-grader, Tim English an A-grader and picks Carlton for the flag next year...

    There are a number of media types now with seriously damaged analytical reputatiosn, or better known as wise-after-the-event types.

    One is NOT Matthew Lloyd. He has been usually on us this year and consistent into all finals against others on various panels he's on. The boys on Kayo/Fox have been very good/accurate too - Healy, Brown, Reiwoldt (and Lyon obviously)

    But those now on the fringe are IMO

    Ross Lyon, Kane Cornes, David King, Leigh Montagna, Brownless, Brereton, 

    Kane Cornes gave it to Darren Burgess earlier this year claiming he was over-rated as the best fitness guy around and doesn't do anything special (on SEN around Feb/March)

    Sucked up nicely to him last week though.

    So, after considering the evidence supplied in the submissions, and the fact Ms Wilson's post GF comments created a continuous, unbroken chain of wrongness with her attacks on the dees re the tanking saga, the panel has decided to change her score to two peanuts.

    I would further submit to the panel a request for third peanut status based on the following:

    - Ms.Wilson makes her living from the game of AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL, a sport whose genesis, growth, survival and current popularity relies entirely on those who play, support, administrate and commentate the game being dedicated enthusiasts - passionate adherents. Ms. Wilson has shown a repeated and transparent lack of passion, dare I say even respect for our great national game. In her position as media commentator, she has consistently and unequivocally criticised the sport at every level, whenever and wherever possible and based too frequently on a lack of information and poor sources. Ms. Wilson’s obvious intent is to create controversial and destructive ‘news-cycling’ around the sport, the sole purpose being to foster her own reputation as an (faux) insider, investigative authority. I put it to you that Ms. Wilson’s ‘journalistic’ career (to date) has exhibited a subversive intention to harm the game of AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL. And this despite said career being wholly dependent on the game. Ms. Wilson simply wishes football ill.

    As such, I invoke a plea to the panel that Ms. Wilson be anointed with NO LESS than a third peanut.

    If I may respond to my learned friend. I beseech the panel to consider thus: Ms Wilson's approach to AFL football and its administration holds the powers that be to account. In so doing, she improves the standard of administration and therefore the quality of the game that is presented to the masses for their enjoyment. If Ms Wilson did not pursue the matters that she takes on, problems would not be publicly identified and those in control would just sweep issues of concern under the carpet to the inevitable detriment of our great game. 

    I would like to plead that rather than add an additional peanut, the second that has been assigned to her be removed.

    Webber please be advised that the binman media awards are narrow in scope and relate to the coverage of the Melbourne Football Club, with a focus on the degree to which a nominated 'expert' has demonstrated a clear pattern of being wrong about the Melbourne Football Club.

    Ms Wilson La Dee-vina Comedia, please see above note. 

    Webber and La Dee-vina Comedia please note, as previously advised, no further correspondence will be entered into in relation to Ms Wilson's peanut rating.

    Completely agree with you about LLoyd. He has become one of my favorite people to listen to over the last year or so. 

    I didn't hear Kane serve Burgess earlier in the year but have heard him praise him very highly many a time this year.
    Burgess was at Port when Kane was playing and when they won their flag in 04

    Im not so sure about Leigh Montagna, he was the first one along with Matt Rendell to realise the Demons potential stating that they could win the flag after round 2-3.

    Can't believe Rendell jumped off in the completely after the Prelim, Montagna stayed the course.

    It was Andrew Russell who was fitness guru at Port in 04, he followed Clarko to Hawthorn after the 2004 GF win.

    I'm obviously a lot older than you and I reckon that guy used to be at every match I went to and it used to be, peanuts shilling a bag.

    Some of the old timers on here would remember that.

    What puzzles me about Bucky's article is that there was not the faintest hint that he had noticed we were clearly showing good signs last year.

    Lloyd gave his top 20 players for next year the other day and he had 3 Bombers in it and 4 or 5 Demons. Clarrie was number one Tracc was at 4 and May was 20 I think with Lever in there at about 15. Steele was at 2, ahead of Tracc.

    Certainly not experts but I've been digging up old autopsy threads from opposition teams that we beat on Bigfooty for a laugh. The Richmond one is the best.

    Autopsy - R6 Roast & Toast and Changes for Bulldogs R7 | BigFooty

    Thanks for the link. Very entertaining with a common thread. We are April premiers, full of ourselves, umpire favourites and as for us supporters we are "entitled capitalist twats". Nothing wrong with a few good investments eh? There were 3 or 4 with a balanced view but the rest are fairly bitter.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
