My 3 word player analysis V The Bullfrogs

Featured Replies

Melbourne FC - Didn't look injured!

i don't know what it was, but we seemed to move easier, tackle harder and ran more freely. robbo seemed to move as crisply as ever, davey seemed to have regained toe, pickett showed he still has something to offer. didn't seem like the same melbourne team of the previous 4 weeks

 

Not wanting to detract too much from the win, but we were playing a team devoid of any confidence. Other than a lucky draw the previous week, they had been getting smashed themselves. If Freo are still rolling when we meet them over there rnd 21, that is when i want to see the Demons stand up and show a bit of ticker, and not just fold in the first quarter like we have done too many times on the road over the last few seasons. Only then will i feel like we are turning the corner.

also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

 
Brown - desperation was contagious

Carroll - little to do

Ferguson - courageous but limited

Bell - exciting but loose

Wheatley - handled tough tasks

Bode - little to excite

Moloney - had no impact

Mcdonald - useful as always

Johnstone - hasn't lost magic

Pickett - aggression set tone

Davey - loved the freedom

Green - wonderful all night

Dunn - had limited impact

Robertson - license to roam

Neitz - struggling to survive

Jamar - still just plodded

White - had little opposition

Jones - fantastic first half

Sylvia - some individual cameos

Frawley - was well beaten

Newton - no second efforts

Holland - who'd have thought ?

What newspaper did you watch the game in?

What a waste of 88 words.

Our team played with confidence. The first bump by Bell on Aker was inspirational. Sometimes it works. I don't know what it is either but I'll take it.

JoeBoy - keep it up. If nothing it divides opinion and creates debate. FYI - Bell was magnificent and tight.

Well said! I think several players may have extended their careers over the last few weeks as well. Dutchyand Brown have been very good for us and must be retained.

Hey , sorry to give you such an incorrect analysis , but I'd really love to read your 3 words , because I hear you have such a brilliant football mind .

Please feel free to share your wisdom here .

Robbo was lucky he reckless foray into the centre did not land him a suspension. If his hip and shoulder had've connect with the Bulldog's player head it could have been sickening all round.

I agree with you. Dutchy and Browny receive so little credit for the way they played. Its mystifying how people lauded so so players like Pickett and Ferguson.

Dutchy should get another year.

I think you will find Doggy will retire at year end.

also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

That statement alone should be the trigger for asking serious questions about some of the commitment and questionable future of some players on our list.

I'm only asking for you to reveal the quality of your undoubtedly 'brilliant football mind ' for all the world to appreciate .

Don't make such flippant put downs without having the guts to give us all just a glimpse of how insightful you really are and how markedly different your opinions are to mine - but restrict yourself to 3 words .

I'm sorry if you took offence at my original post Joeboy. But if you are going to be offended with every poster who didn't agree with your gonna be typing for a long time. Lighten up. I thought there were other posters who were more critical of your analisys than me by the way. But I suppose you just decided to have a go at me. I look forward to reading your report next week. I love a good laugh. Oh by the way, i've put in the ones I didn't agree with. Enjoy!

Bell: Keeps on improving

Bode: Good solid start

Dunn: Found his position

Neitz: Sacrificed own game

Frawley: Injured too early

Newton: Great early tackle

Sylvia: Wasting natural ability

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
