Wonder if winning the flag has hurt the desire from players. Before we won there was this great feeling of what we could achieve and the hunt for the flag spurred them. Now they have it the desire is perhaps less intense.

 

Half the problem is players see Salem get the ball and just handball over his head without looking so he takes no contact, Gawn did it too, so players watch two of the more senior guys panic and it sets in.

Chin is prob the only one I would say has shown some growth this year. Most have gone backwards, and some like Salem should be sent to Casey.

And Windsor has struggled a bit because he is not a defender but our super smart coaches belief anyone can play half back, did the same with Salem and he still can’t defend one on one half the time, Fritta back there was a disaster and was Lewis.

There have been too many games over the last few seasons where he’s gotten the ball and I’ve done the whole ‘oh, Tom Sparrow is playing’. He plays ok and has some good games, but isn’t damaging. I doubt his name is mentioned by opposition coaches very often, if at all. Which is what I was saying about him in 2022 with the caveat that he’s still learning the game.

Turning 25 this year.

Fix good tagging job last night

 

Chandler is the only one who has improved - and he has impressed this grumpy old lady, I didn’t think he had it in him.

The only others are Lindsay & Langford, you can tell they’re made for it, just have to develop.

By playing JVR as the kind-of second ruck the coaches have completely stalled his development as forward. And at the moment it’s really hard to see him going to the level where he becomes a serious forward.

Rivers is another one who is going backwards at a rapid rate. Same will happen to McVee if they persist with the fantasy that he’s a midfielder

And don’t get me started at the Windsor off half back experiment. I understand the logic, but we’ve been given a born wingman, why not allow him to develop there? Problem is not only are we trying to fill a hole off half back, we’ve recruited a few mid sized nothings who can only contribute on the wing (Sharp, Billings).

I've improved a lot, I no longer swear at the T.V or throw my remote at it. My wife thinks Its an improvement!

Yes, but can you play on the wing?

Just put in my DVD for the round 1 2021 game vs the Dockers and Clarrie's body shape completely shocked me. Everyone looked in rock solid shape, but the difference between the sleek red Ferrari and the orange dumptruck we have now sure is a downgrade!

I said it it yesterdays game day thread but it’s genuinely depressing how much Clarry has wrecked his career

I reckon Tom McDonald's doing alright.

But as @Wells 11 said, this question is redundant right now. We're so far off as a collective, it's not surprising that no one looks any good.

Tom McDonald is only just doing alright. He's hot and cold. He started off taking a number of marks in our backline against Geelong and did OK for half a game. When the third and fourth quarters came along, he was beaten very easily by the opposition. This, particularly combined with the exceptionally poor defensive work by Harrison Petty opened the door for Geelong to do as they pleased. So yes, he does OK for a percentage of the time until he doesn.t. IMO he's too slow for the modern game. If you watch a replay of the game against North Melbourne, he wasn't even OK.

Wow. I feel he hasn’t been aware or made aware of how hard it is to stay at the top with fit young, hungry high draft guys going for his scalp.

Um no... but I was a flashy HFF with exquisite skills and lethal kick for goal from anywhere! Long 60 m Torps was my go, barrelled a 65 m torp in the what was The Herald Sun "Sunkick" but still not good enough to win! But thats another story!


Different times.

Went to the game then saw Orb at the Forum when they were doing fully seated gigs because of COVID.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
