    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

    Bizarre take, unless you’re into participation medals.

    No, I'm into a bit of logic. You should try it.

    If 20 or so players are deemed hopeless, heartless, past it or disinterested, it's impossible for them to lose by 4 goals.

    If you agree with all of those half - baked assessments, do yourself a favour and don't follow the team at all.

    The fact you unironically and legitimately espoused the old “supporters support” line, says enough.

    A whole lot of babble which means nothing.

    Ok, did you think Trent Rivers looked disinterested?

    oh that ol' chestnut - never seen an umpire take a kick for a player and then miss the teammate or goal.

    This. Thank you @Anti Saint. Could it be that we are a below average side?

    absolutely - we are down the bottom as we have experienced The Premiership Effect, ie, you win a flag and you get cache, as you should.

    But, we are gone.

    Now, it's time for change (Gough Whitlam said that of the loooong-term Liberals).

    While I am on the quotes - "The harder you work, the luckier you get," said Thomas Jefferson.

    We are not working hard enough in many facets on and off the field.

    I read Joeboy for a laugh. This kind of wrong-but-bold commentary is often more entertaining than accurate analysis. There’s something delightfully absurd about reducing a players whole game to three words — especially when it's generally hilariously off the mark.

    I was literally out in the bush today and neither heard nor saw the game ( just as well it seems).

    I always read this thread and appreciate Joeboy being prepared to put it out there, as they say.

    However, @Return to Glory is consistently an insightful and knowledgable poster whose view should be respected.

    Interesting debate.

    Harsh in Lindsay. No growth on a young man who had a limited pre-season is not fair. He was not seen today, but his growth has been impressive.

    My thoughts exactly Unc.

    I thought Joeboy wasn't far off with his assessment and at first couldn't imagine people could even have 6 players in the votes thread but Return to Glory's post did deviate my thinking slightly on how I evaluated the performances.

    It's ok to have stances questioned, anyone who does it respectfully doesn't demand that you change it. I think it can be confusing because so many people on here don't do that and gaslight you if your take differs slightly to theirs. Appreciate both Joeboy's and RFG's contributions.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
