IMO belly was best on ground today the only person who rivaled him was green, but bell had a direct opponent and shut him down, while green played on the wing.

did not concede a goal all day (the only goal welsh kicked was while ward was picking him up).

his spoiling from behind was fantastic, his drive out of the backline was awesome. 6 tackles and 20 touches. 10 kicks and 10 handballs.

i've taken off the belly blinkers and i'll tell you what he is looking even better when you can compare him to everyone else.

 

and 3 of bells tackles directly stopped goals, all 3 on welsh im pretty sure but yep, best on game with green

Good thread - simply outstanding, brave as the day is long and just gives his all for the club.... any Belly knockers want to post some humble pie?

 

Did not get beaten in a one on one contest all day. Helped out the other defenders. Saved 2 almost certain goals. Kicking was accurate. Evasive skills were excellent. Best game i've seen him play. B.O.G for me.

best game ive seen him play. he was exceptional in his second efforts too, thats what we want to see.


Daniel Bell was not good today

He was phenomenal

Heard on 3AW in the car on the way home that he had 10 1%ers, amazing effort.

He was clearly 2nd BOG today behind Green, they both were excellent.

That decision making process of his that appeared questionable early on in his career appears to be very much on the improve - his timing and his reading of the play have also come on massively this year.

one of the best things ive seen your type in ages Y_M you are right on the spot some of his spoils today were top quality,

looked to me best on ground maybe behind Bruce IMO

I heard 11 ;)

There are a few of us who have been behind Belly since the start. I'm glad that today, his 38th career game, he has stuck it up all those who didn't believe he could make it.

Well done Belly, an absolutely brilliant defensive job today.

You are as brave, as honest, as hard and as exciting as they come.

:wub::wub::wub:

what impressed me about bell and carrol also, was finally our defence found the ability to close quickly on the leading forward and get a punch in...

it's so inspirational when a guy punches it away like carrol and bell did all day today...

add in whelan instead of Ward (how many turnovers...hmm) and rivers back into the defence perhaps to replace Brown, and that is a promising defence for the future. i like wheatley, i think he is much better option than brown or ward because his kicking skills are so great and damaging

agree with everything written by you

Fantastic game by belly. He has been one of the few shining lights this year.

He along with green and bruce were the best 3 players on the ground ... funny that, they are the 3 most derided players on this board ...

Belly was great today. I have always been a huge fan of his and great to see everyone else starting to beleive in him aswell.

Its clear channel seven dont know him though as on the channel 7 news "maloney stopped a certain goal to welsh" :wacko::wacko:

one day he will get the reconition he deserves

Yep, he gave 110% all day (seeing as though you can only physically give 100% and he had 10 x 1%ers I guess that is technically true), and I reckon he was BOG simply because of his tackling and spoiling.

BLOODY HELL- DANIEL BELL

Todays game should be the making of Belly

One of the best defensive, spoiling , rebounding games you would ever want to see.

Who will he take next week against The Filth?


welll done belly.... really have developed exceptionally well this season.. im sure JADED will be happy for him too....

and jaded i think now he has really started to develop into a vey good player.

great too see how fast he has matured as a player... dont think he will be dropped again for a long time

Great stuff from, BOG and he will only get better and better and with the inclusions of Frawley, things are turning out pretty well.

Though i reckon the biz is pretty influential to helping bell develop his game, the biz is a very creative player and i am sure bell will learn a lot from him.

Where are all you 'Belly will never make it' posters now?????

Stand up and take your [censored] medicine!!

I love the boy! Well and truly love him... (no homo-erotic slurs, please! :lol: )

Steady on Brocky..after such a great game I can see how its tempting to shoot off like that ( no offence meant). But 'The coming of Bell' has tested the patience/faith (or whatever you will) of even the most hardened of our supporters. Ease up.

I hope and reckon he can keep getting better...I have seen him building up to this moment all year. For me its one of the few positives that has come out of the season so far.

i'll eat some humble pie after bell's performance today, and i'll enjoy every bite. i said he had a long way to go after a poor performance against west coast, and hopfully he is much closer than i thought he was. todays performance was excellent and i look forward to him playing games like today more consistantly.

Alan, you have been here for 5 minutes, don't tell me what to do. The amount of crap Bell has got around here has been horrendus, those posters need to stand up and say they were wrong.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
