Brown - poor foot disposal

Carroll - excellent all day

Bizzell - fit and valuable

Holland - made few errors

Ward - was rarely noticed

Bell - dashing but loose

Johnstone - was well subdued

McDonald - a wonderful effort

Petterd - has been better

Frawley - out of depth

Miller - disappointed yet again

Davey - brilliant too rarely

Neitz - last quarter heroics

Robertson - had little influence

Johnson - starting to perform

White - started numerous thrusts

Dunn - had no influence

Bruce - a masterful display

Green - better when released

Godfrey - year's best game

Jones - an inspired game

McLean - showed his importance

Carroll - excellent all day? He played very well, but was terrible in the first quarter. Think Robbo did well when the opportunity arose, so his review was harsh. As far as PJ goes, why did we take him off in the last quarter?

Bell - dashing but loose

Loose? How many goals did his various opponents kick?

His forward thrust was brilliant today.

As for Robbo, he had as much influence as he possibly could have given the ball got nowhere near our forwards for 3 quarters. It was a good return match.

Ward and Brown are symptomatic of Melbourne at the moment. Lots of possessions for no return.

bizzel and carrol were fantastic today.

conceding only 8 goals to 3/4 time considering the amount of times the ball went inside 50 was fantastic.

carrol's marking is strong

im now convinced Miller has amongst the teams worst football brains. takes too long to decide...and then invariably wrong.

Game thoughts:

Number one: DO NOT play on when you are under pressure or your teammates are not in the position u will kick the ball to. Too many times players played on and there was noone to mark the ball

Number 2: DO NOT put other players under pressure. Too many of our experienced guys did this

Number 3: Tackle

Number 4: Buzz to line up each week till Bartram returns

Dont know why brown gets bagged so much

Thought Miller played ok must get out of habit to h/ball first option.

because he doesnt offer anything to the side, cant kick, always takes the bad option and never does anything damaging with the ball

cant blame Robbo too much...delivery to him was woeful!! bordering on disgusting really.

we need to go back to basics and learn some fundamental skills of this game.

Some drongo dees supporter called up MMM after the game to single out players that weren't going to take Melbourne foward to win a flag, and he managed to single out N.Carroll, P.Johnson and S.Grodfrey.

Not sure what game he was watching, or if he has been watching any lately, but if you visit these boards and are reading this. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

Miller - Stop handballing it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time he got the ball he would look around to handball it off and if there wasn't an option he would waste even more time looking for someone to kick too :huh:

Bizzell was sensational.

Bruce played a ripping game, and only made one mistake by foot which is a nice change.

Neita showed he is still a force.

McLean will be better for the run.

Paul Johnson is now miles ahead of Jamar, his tapwork was good today and his impact around the ground absolutely shits all over what Jamar can do.

Godfrey kept Harvey semi-quiet.

Jones is just an unreal talent.

    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,
