Very good analysis but you were hard on Brayshaw. His defensive efforts were brilliant and I thought his disposal was effective for the most part.

To say Gus Brayshaw didn’t play that well is unbelievable, you have no idea

Not to be a scold, but I think that joke played itself out a long time ago (and I was one of the original urine takers who gave joeboy stick over it).
It has been 4 years since Tyson left after all and joeboy is pretty generous in taking the time to come up with these analyses every week. šŸ™‚

Why not frame Joel Smith's game in a positive light. Seemingly waiting for the bloke to fail is pretty poor.

Agree Joel did really well last night I've said this before but those who don't rate him need to remember he has struggled to stay on the park consistently and build his confidence and understanding of the game at the top level

If he stays fit he has a good chance to continue his improvement and become a very valuable player for usĀ 


Agree on most Joeboy but not Gus his game was one of the reasons doggies couldn’t score in the 3rd.!!

Agree Gus was really good

Brayshaw -Ā  continued finals form

Ā 

This needs to be his baselineĀ 

Bowey - fantastic 9 touches

We're used to small forwards having low disposals and playing well, see Pickett in the grand final, or even last night.

But I don't think many half back flankers play as well as Bowey did with just 9 touches last night. I thought his defensive positioning and contests were really strong.Ā 

Along with Hunt, Smith, Tomlinson I thought he allowed McDonald and particularly Brayshaw to get in intercepting positions to provide what we usually get from Lever.

I was shocked to see he had only 9 touches.

Pickett - off the boil (great goal though)

Sparrow - couldnt find ball (hope he hasnt relaxed with re - signing)

Gawn - not umpires friend

Oliver - not umpires friend

Also put his body on the line in the last Quarter, it hurt, and he didn’t flinch until the ball was moved on.Ā

Who did harmes tag? Libba?

Didn't even notice Libba at all.Ā

Seemed to be playing half-forward for much of the night. Whether that was to change their on-ball mix (a polite way of saying whether he'd been demoted from that role following the pasting they received in the GF) or he had a particular role, such as tagging one of our defenders, I couldn't tell.

Oliver had what 7 or 8 free kicks paid against him for iffy infringements and yet when he was infringed against...... Play on. CLUB might need to make representations to AFL if this continues

Umps just want to make sure Oliver earns his Brownlow the hard way.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’sĀ performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
