Melksham - our only winner

Petracca - disposal was amateurish

Gawn - had negligible influence

Viney - tried but limited

Pickett - great last quarter

Bowey - tried but overwhelmed

Rivers - loose and disinterested

Turner - strong first half

Langford - needed longer break

Oliver - just a shadow

Chandler - irrelevant and uninvolved

Fritsch - seemingly without heart

Sparrow - another nothing game

McVee - little influence again

Petty - was actually missed

Langdon - not a tagger

Tholstrup - a year away

May - career is fading

Sharp - little to offer

Salem - regularly slowed momentum

Jefferson - two years away

Howes - unsighted before injury

Lindsay - shown no growth

 

Umpires - doing HQs job

 

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

Salem

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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
