Do you actually think the umpires made an iota difference to the result? 

Yep.

I appreciate and look forward to Joeboy’s analysis each week but the “woe against me” towards the umpiring that has permeated Demonland this year has been unbearable to be honest.

 

May – under constant pressure

Lever – all at sea

Bowey – struggled all night

McVee – composed but besieged

McDonald – still worth spot

Howes – not AFL standard

Woewodin – not AFL standard

Viney – years taking toll

Langdon – tried heart out

Moniz-Wakefield – not AFL standard

Rivers – showed fighting spirit

Neale-Bullen – energetic but limited

Sparrow – solid but slow

Kolstrup – judge next season

Chandler – better option needed

Pickett – too little effort

Van Rooyen – had few opportunities

Petty – wasted in forwards

Fritsch – accurate but lazy

Melksham – last hurrah time

Gawn – couldn’t stem tide

Oliver – off the boil

Turner (sub) – couldn’t help much

T Mac

Crucified by umps.

Busted a gut.

Showed great restraint. 
 

Deserves another year.

 


joeboy - lost his tether

Bowey    - improved second half 

Trent Rivers  - beacon in the gloom

Tom Sparrow - 

Max Gawn    - captain’s knock (again)

Ed Langdon-  season standard game

Fritsch  - some spirited cameos 

AFL/media      - poisoned golden chalice

Umpires.   - can’t do Jack

Bevo -  australian rules throwball

The rest - prayer helps apparently

His high standards. A poor team performance, started and finished at the contest again.

Ok so you’re at it again taking pot shots at me.

Let’s see your 3 word responses and show how many positives YOU can come up with.

On reflection, and upon watching a replay the only ‘knee jerk reaction’ ( your words ) I regret were for Langdon who was ‘actually steady throughout’

Fairly accurate assessment.

I would say that Bowey played one of his better games for the year.

Langdon was a bright light as well.

Viney didn't look very enthusiastic and your right Kozzie look like he had checked out just like his two games prior. Not good at all.

Anb struggled as did a few others.

Chandler is way overated.

Petty as a fwd averages one goal in just over three games.

In what other team would he stay in that role week after week with that low scoring?

 

 

 

 

Dogs are flying

Many playing injured 

Viney, Oliver slow

Torched in clearance 

Several not ready 

Sparrow not humbled 

TMac rightfully furious 

Didn't stop trying

Prepare for 25

Maybe you should watch the replay before your comments then.Often presents quite a different picture from the actual game live. Things the camera don't  miss. QED

Um his 3 word comments are visceral and instinctive.

Watching the replay may sometimes give a more accurate response but as most of accept this is not the point of the thread.

In any event Joeboy does quite a good job.

It's not an easy thread to complete.

What is the point of this thread so @joeboy can vent his spleen (topical) after a loss. The number of replies to this thread now, ever diminishing know what they are going to read so don't even look at it.

Three words - Poor Team Performance.

Joe, I wouldn't try to upstage the oracle. QED to me is not the Latin  "Quod erat Demonstrated"  but, QUITE ENOUGH DONE. Enjoy the rest of the week end.

This is the first thread that i read after a game.Often brutal but generally both fair and accurate .Remarkable effort to post    a 3 word summary on every player so soon after games  final whistle .

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
