Gawn - had negligible influence

Viney - tried but limited

Pickett - great last quarter

Bowey - tried but overwhelmed

Rivers - loose and disinterested

Turner - strong first half

Sparrow - Looks like Tarzan

Umpires - doing HQs job

 

Oliver - WWF Mankind cosplay


You’ve given two players a positive review (of sorts) and yet we had two players less for most of the game and went down by four goals. Genuinely clueless assessments

Ridiculous comment.

We all know, but you, we were lucky not to lose by 15 goals.

Present your 3 word analysis to show me where I misjudged


Everyone to their own opinion But we had a miserably poor 1st quarter and looked like we would go down by 60+ points, we hit the post twice and Milkshake missed at least two that he would normally swallow and we went down by 19 points to a top 8 side that was aided and abetted by the umpiring fraternity. Plus we were two down.????

Yes I think you are right. Every week this thread gets more emotional and worse. It's more of an insight into the posters fragility than a reflection. It used to be quite interesting.

Well if I were paid more to produce this thread each week then perhaps I’d present more positive reviews.

Sure:

Fritsch - tackles and goals

Rivers - 27 possessions. Disinterested?

Sharp - (sub) provided some spark

Langford - continues to grow

Bowey - beat direct opponent

Jefferson - started slowly. Glimpses

Lever

Oliver

Some big stars that no longer are.

Sparrow never was.

Tracca plays some iffy games.

Petty not a fwd. Fritta comes and goes so apart from Melksham turning up we don't have a fwd line.

This team is unrecognisable to the one that won a flag. It's interesting because there are still quite a few of them still there. At least a dozen. And they're not all old.

Come on you can do better than that. "Money improves reviews"

I agree Joe, Jefferson was poor 2 years away! That's never. It's time to move on from him he is not a AFL talent. I have said to play him for a number of games. However there was zero in that game to show him as a needed player.

Bluey- Personally ashamed to be associated with this lilly livered group.

He should be careful. That can result in haemorrhoids!

Trying to blame umpires for this is so one-eyed we should be sponsored by the Fred Hollows Foundation.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
