positives v Blues

Featured Replies

Who?

A total guess, but I reckon he means Cale Morton.

HA! Well done. Yes I meant Cale.

Morton; go easy on him, he's just a boy playing a mans game, and he's doing fine.

Absolutely. When I said I was disappointed, I meant disappointed for myself that I didn't get to see what everyone was talking about. I said quiet game, only because that was what it was. I think he probably still played really well for someone so raw, and compare to other first, second and third gamers, he was certainly a long way from being a bad player... Which puts Jamar's effort in a different light.

 
What skill level. Its an absolute joke. The only skill they seem to have is to consistently manage to find a teammate who is under pressure to handball to. Gee what a talent. :huh:

Yes. The skill level was dreadful. But what was it like in weeks gone by? Would it be fair to say it was worse?

The skill level yesterday was an improvement. Not a huge one, and they were still worse than my grandma, but it was still an improvement...

So what should Bailey say? We were atrocious. Our skills are awful.... No. He MUST say something positive where possible, without sugarcoating. And I reckon that's what he did. Rounds 1-4 we had the skills of a VFL seconds side. Now we have the skills of a crappy VFL firsts side.

Not sure DD, can't really see how Sunday was an improvement on anything.....we really were flattered big time by the final result.......junk time goals don't equal an improvement for mine. And junk time started super early on yesterday.

 

We were no better against Carlton than any other game this year.

IMO the only difference in our 5 games has been the varying quality of the opposition, or in Geelong's case, the hunger/focus of the opposition.

I thought Wonna and Chip were terrific, always good to get some game time into Rivers and Bartram. Brock persevered. Colin showed some glimpses (as he does). That's about it.

POSITIVES :

Green : Let's see if he can play games like that on a consistant baises. He doesn't play like that enough, time to start.

Woneaemirri : Is a real find he has skills and is hard at it which is a rarity at this club.

McLean: Unfortunately the only time he doesn't get tagged is when he is on a gun like Judd. If we are looking to the future he must be made captain, Bruce is the present it would be a bad move to make him captain. McLean desperately needs help.

Frawley : Showed he could play he also used the ball pretty well for someone who supposedly can't.

Sylvia: Finally Bailey done something right I'd been calling for that move since last year hopefully he will persist with him.

Rivers: Played well again thank god he's in our back line.

NEGATIVES:

Carroll: Got bathed again like he gets every week. We must look to the future and look to Frawley, Garland and Martin.

Moloney: Not smart enough, fit enough or quick enough for AFL level. His disposal is terrible and his aggression always has a negative impact on the team. He is a poor man's Phil Read if his career isn't over then it should be. The most disasterous trade in modern history come back Scotty Thompson.

Bruce : His terrible shot for goal cost us dearly not as much as Moloney's moment of madness but for a player who wants to be captain simply not good enough.

Jamar : He is just a big goose can't see him at the club next year.

Robertson: Played better but KEEP YOUR [censored] FEET FOR CHRIST SAKE.

Whelan: Played well until he got injured again. If he gets injured again this year then it may be the end of the line for him. His report was a joke. The umpires payed some of the softest decisions your ever likely to see usually to Carlton.


At 3 Q time we had kicked 4 goals against supposedly the weakest defence in the Competition. There were no positives. i know its harsh but it is the truth.

Long cold couple of years ahead for all of us

I cant believe nobody mentioned Wheatley as a negative. He has had a great year but in the 2nd qtr he had a oppurtunity to dive/ smother/ take out a Carlton player in the square yet he shirked and let him kick the goal. Was really [censored] poor and weak.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
