My 3 word player analysis V The Glues

Recommended Posts

This is exactly the problem.

one of the biggest problems with mfc is our deadwood can play a bit.

e.g. Carltons deadwood are crap and easy to delist.

We have a string of playas who can play a bit n probably too good to be delisted but they are also not up to afl standard.

Too many depth playas if u may.

Brown, Ferguson, Godfrey, Holland, Jamar, CJ, Miller, Bizzell, Ward n Warnock come to mind.

They all offer something but the tough decision needs to be taken with 4-5 of them.

For what its worth, I think Bizzell should be re-signed for another year

But he is depth at best

He had a great game on the weekend, but that was playing loose against the worst forward line in the comp, missing their best forward. As a loose player, he is really good. As an accountable defender, he is adequate at best

No way will Bizz get a game, when we are at full strength

Bizzell is not the future if he's only going to be around for another year, if that.

FB: Whelan Frawley Carroll

HB: Bell Rivers Petterd

C: Johnstone Jones Bartram

HF: Sylvia Bate Davey

FF: Newton Neitz Robertson

Foll: White McDonald McLean

Int: P Johnson Bruce Green Moloney/Wheatley/Dunn/Buckley/CJ

1) Like I said before, 2008 is the future.

2) So my backline with Bizzell is too short? You replace him with Frawley who is 5 cm taller and that is now a big enough backline?

Let's just agree to disagree.

Frawley will keep growing and putting on weight.

And that is not the only reason Frawley is ahead of Bizzell. Defensive ability and potential have a lot to do with it too.

Any way you cut it, Bizzell is depth.

There is no way you can actually tell me that he should be getting a game ahead of Frawley, be it this year, or next.

I understand that he's a favourite of yours, and he has played up to his normal standards this year, but as many have already said, he does his best work as a third man-up. Rivers can do what he does better, take on a key forward, and has better disposal and decision making skills.

With Bizzell and Rivers in the same side, the defence is not entirely balanced.

I feel we'll be much better going forward with Frawley and Rivers in key positions, Carroll as third tall, Bell and Petterd as medium defenders and Whelan as a small defender.

But hey, agree to disagree it is. As long as our coach next year agrees with me, I'm happy ;)

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
