My 3 word player analysis V The Poos

Recommended Posts

MFC - Kick the (bloody) ball

Jones - let's clone him

Johnson - So long Jamar

In my eyes, Nathan Jones is now on a level with Bartram as a newcomer, and we will here a lot about the Mclean/Jones midfield group into the future.

I thought Godfrey did a decent tagging job which continues his great vein of form but again his footskills let him down.

turned it over too often for direct goals.

His turnovers hurt mfc more then his great tagging jobs.

Frawley/Garland is further proof that if u don't have form on the board, u'll b found out in the seniors. Newton should be nxt in line.

i dont quite get why everyone roasts Godders kicking...its no worse than most in red and blue ( which I concede is not that flsh at times ) but some of his passing was amongst the better weighted kicking all day!!

Does poor Simon Godfrey have a target on his stomach that says "punch me, I'm a tagger"?

I know his disposal is awful, but you gotta respect a man who gets up every time he is hit behind the play and goes about his business like nothing happened.

Lesser men would start a fight and get in trouble. He just gets up and carries on.

Godfrey's best game, Joeboy, are you kidding me?

He comprehensively beat S.Burgoyne, Goodes and Scotty West, whilst yesterday he let Harvey have 25 possessions.

Open your eyes mate.

I think people are under-rating Brock's performance.

Coming back from 8 weeks out, playing approx. 60% of the game and still racked up 22possessions and 6 first-possessions at the stoppages highlights the great-mans importance. He is the clearance king for us, better then Junior and better then Jones will ever be. Credit where credit's due for Chook.

I want to back up Nasher's post #41, Jones does need to work on his disposal alot, had 2 shots at goal before he slotted the big one, and missed both. A couple of his handballs were behind his team-mate.

Try 22, with 4 clearances and 9 tackles in only 56% game time, with about 60% fitness.

I know that my obsession with him is bordering on unhealthy, but gees that is some good stats. He is a star in the making!

He also makes Jones better.

Your obsession is justified I just hope Brock and Jones can play out the season, I think they compliment each other beautifully.

Throw in Moloney and Bruce and it looks good. I just hope it happens.

I'm starting to get tired of seeing brad miller play. How can an AFL footballer be afraid to kick the ball? When he was forced to kick it was often not the right option or he'd just kick the ball as far as he could. Needs to prove his worth at Sandy, its time to give Newton a go or play lynden dunn there.

Don't think it was Godfrey's best game, his disposal was woeful at times and Harvey was pretty influencial.

i agree, but i cant help but think that it must be a direct instruction from the coaches, otherwise they would be telling him to kick.

a question for those who have seen him play at sandy, does he play a similar role to what he plays for the dees?

I said it on here a while back, and I'll say it again. Jones is going to be a star. Maybe even on par with the great Brock Mclean. Here is a guy with less than 20 games under his belt, and he is in there smashing his way to get at the ball, and is not intimidated by anyone in his path. He's been copping a fair few bumps behind play recently I've noticed, and it's getting obvious that oppositions are starting to rate him as highly as we are. He is just so determined, and he is showing alot of leadership out there for someone so young. Twice this season he has kicked a great goal and fired up to nearly get us over the line the last quarter (see Port Adelaide and North Melb matches). His one flaw is his kicking, which while isn't perfect, isnt that bad anyway. With time it will get there, and when it does, we are going to have another fantastic midfielder on our hands. The thought of Brock and Jones in the midfield together is another to make any Dee supporter salivate.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
