An obvious career in the media post football awaits.. he’s a very funny and articulate performer

Personally I see Kentfield as THE solution to our forward woes. He’s big, strong, agile, not afraid of body contact, can crash packs , and can kick accurately, unlike the work experience kids who are currently being gifted games.

Gawn - beat two opponents Pickett - genius at work Rivers - prolific without hurting May - great after first Salem - same as Rivers Oliver - tried without influence Langdon - barely influenced proceedings McVee - has checked out Bowey - maintained his momentum Fritsch - always looked dangerous Viney - mindless disposals again Petracca - was well held Langford - quiet second half Chandler - a nothing game Windsor - continued downward trend McDonald - made few errors Turner - was rarely noticed Sharp - had no influence van Rooyen - was almost average Jefferson - far from ready Melksham - no heroics today Tholstrup - two years away Lindsay - a long year

I had an MRI this morning and the nurse in charge asked me what music I’d like fed into the headphones I was given to drown out the thumping vibrations of the machine , and I was obliged with the soothing sounds of the Dees’ ode of joy.. on repeat for 12 minutes I hope I hear it again tonight.

I’m pretty sure it was John Ralph who stated last week on one of Foxtel’s footy shows that Fritsch loves the Demons and is not going anywhere

Gawn - excellent from centre Viney - bullocking of old Petracca - great after first Fritsch - four quarter effort Melksham - smart and important Lever - a slow liability McVee - little to enthuse Pickett - always looked dangerous McDonald - never drop again Salem - regularly intercepted well Tholstrup - one important disposal Swallow - an indecipherable role Rivers - just a game Langford - impressive four quarters Turner - strong after first Oliver - a solid game van Rooyen - good in bursts Jefferson - finally showed promise Chandler - some clever touches Langdon - valuable running game Bowey - not as noticeable Lindsay - obviously has tired Windsor - had no Input

A significant problem with the assistant coaching roles this year was that apparently we weren’t inundated with options preseason

Just announced : the AFL has officially ruled the goal that was paid to Adelaide despite McVee’s efforts, WAS actually touched before crossing the line🤦‍♂️

There was DEFINITELY no evidence of him EVER ‘dominating’ at Casey

Pickett - only classy player Langdon - too many turnovers Viney - take first options May - fought the fight Rivers - a better performance Salem - had little influence Turner - a solid game Lever - loose and slow Petracca - has signed off Oliver - disposals were amateurish Langford - still finding place Chandler - another uninfluential performance vanRooyen - better but limited Bowey - provided customary drive Melksham - clever and important McVee - another loose game Lindsay - reliable and clever Sparrow - had no purpose Jefferson - bereft of pressure Fritsch - devoid of interest Tholstrup - another underwhelming performance Sharp - had no affect

Exactly🤦‍♂️

Well if I were paid more to produce this thread each week then perhaps I’d present more positive reviews.

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

6 - Melksham 2 - Pickett 1 - Gawn

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

And you can remain delusional. Furthermore, I prefaced my response by alluding to this year’s performances, so if your list was valid then why are we having a [censored] year?

On this year’s evidence I’d agree only on Lindsay, Langford, Turner and Bowey. Hardly cause for celebration

Please advise who is the ‘promising young talent’ you speak of at Melbourne

Gawn - competition’s worst kick Viney - no senior leadership Pickett - disappeared second half Howes - beat his opponent Petracca - rarely looked interested Oliver - devoid of relevance Bowey - maintained the rage Langdon - lost all drive Turner - impressed in patches Salem - overstayed his welcome May - was surprisingly humiliated Lever - time to go van Rooyen - no trade value Langford - needs a break Chandler - failed to perform Sparrow - was irrelevant again McVee - loose and fumbly Windsor - lost all potency Rivers - little to commend Petty -unfit and incompetent Melksham - still on plane Lindsay - limited game time

Oliver has become a liability and Trac doesn’t seem interested

The free kick differential was not mentioned once on Foxtel coverage

Gawn - great despite errors Oliver - prolific but wasteful Petracca - dynamism wasn’t enough Rivers - has lost momentum Bowey - another excellent display Fritsch - had more involvement May - outstanding all game Sparrow - a bland performance Salem - what’s his role? Pickett - the real wizard Turner - safe and reliable Langford - needs a break Chandler - some minor involvement Tholstrup - lacked spatial awareness Melksham - tried against odds Petty - little to enthuse Lever - steady under pressure Van Rooyen - continued doing nothing McVee - unobtrusive but effective Howes - held important opponent Lindsay - needs a rest Windsor - limited game time Langdon - unlikely effective tagger
