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

    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

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1Âœ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
