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.

[Dee-tonator 247]

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

[Dee Zephyr 19,268]

T Mac

Crucified by umps.

Busted a gut.

Showed great restraint. 
 

Deserves another year.

 

[Tarax Club 3,958]

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

Knee jerk reactionJoe, seems to lose the plot when we lose badly.Just 3 players passed his high standards.

 

[daisycutter 29,737]

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?

 

 

 

 

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,274]

Far from ideal.

[Dee*ceiving 1,690]

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.

You still haven’t bothered responding to my request 

[Robbie87 152]

Not the forwards

Not the defenders

Not the coach

Midfield getting belted

End of story

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.
