Gawn - busted his guts

Viney - had no impact

Rivers - played with heart

Sparrow - tagging failed miserably 

Bowey - has lost momentum 

Langdon - gave limited drive

Fritsch - some impressive moments 

Van Rooyen - was rarely involved

Neal Bullen - season worst game

Tholstrup - out of depth

Chandler - small man syndrome 

McDonald- frustrated and frustrating 

Pickett - has tuned out

Oliver - was embarrassingly incompetent 

Lever - showed no leadership 

Howes - not a backman 

Woewodin - little to commend

Turner- little to admire

Melksham - age has wearied

McVee - rarely found space

Petty - was uninvolved again

May - hopefully back soon

Moniz - Wakefield - regularly amateurish disposal

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

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.

Fair enough but I will stick to my opinion. That's what it's all about isn't i? I fully respect yours. Cheers.

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?

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.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
