Just about nailed it.

Thing is... sometimes the description is seen as unnecessarily patronising or remonstrative....

But this is actually just very...matter of fact.

This is what they were.Ā 

Have no doubt they played their guts out...

But...Ā  Ā no chocolates...Ā  Ā

We admittedly had more than 3 good players. We lost the game through conversion, plain and simple. We controlled that game and had far more better players then them.

Actually...we didn'tĀ 

T'was an illusion.Ā  Ā 9.17

My 5 word or under analysisĀ 

Gawn - outplayed but tried

Viney - no real impact

Petracca - couldn't get involved

Oliver - wasteful with ball

Kozzie - more cold than hot

May - well played mate

Lever - did his job

Bowey - barely seen

McDonald - did he even play?

Chandler - Bedford is much better

McVie - damn good year

Salem - still off his best

Spargo - one of his best

Smith - triedĀ 

Hunter - ok, nothing special

Langdon - slipped too often

Jordan - move him on

Tomlinson - good luck next year

Neal-Bullen - little impact really

Rivers - quiet game, but big future

Fritsch - underdone but still classy

Sparrow - one tough unit

Schacke - did as much as TMac

Dude. C'mon man.

We lost that game like we have lost every game over the last few years. Close. Maybe a few calls that went against us.. but ultimately it comes down to missed opportunity.

This was the last hurrah with this game plan. We should have won last week if we picked correctly. We didn't. Laurie and Schache as sub were the oddest choices all season.

What’s happened to Lingers looked like he had skates on tonight, slip sliding away……….!!

Laurie wasn't he had done well in Rounds 23 and 24. Trouble was he had all day instead of about a quarter to play last week. Should have been back as sub again snd in last quarter Ā he might quite easily have won It for us with some skill and conversion.


Langdon - stop slipping over

Gawn - please be physical

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
