Perfect Practice - Scoop Junior's "Match Report"
joeboy replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Let's hope Richmond is still in the running for the final 8 when we play them in the final round so we can lose 'gracefully'. -
Bartram - good defensive run Bate - little to commend Bell - aggressive but flawed Bruce - plenty of possessions Buckley - better disposal today Frawley - an encouraging display Green - year's best game Jamar - made few mistakes P.Johnson - excellent despite restriction Jones - mostly well held McDonald - fine captain's game Maric - was disappointing today Martin - occasionally a spectator Miller - good not great Morton - effective and prolific Newton - brief cameo involvement Sylvia - exciting and frustrating Warnock - some defensive run Wheatley - prolific and reliable Whelan - tackling to behold Valenti - just a game Wonaeamirri - little when needed

6- Bruce 5- McDonald 4 -Maric 3- Valenti 2- Whelan 1 - P. Johnson

Bartram - loose and reckless Bate - abysmal forward pressure Bruce - our only winner Buckley - tried but failed Carroll - justified his return Dunn - still learning role Frawley - little to commend Green - just a game C.Johnson - not as prolific P.Johnson - effective but limited Jones - very little impact McDonald - battled overwhelming odds Maric - exciting and talented Martin - out of depth Morton - poor when pressured Sylvia - tried but limited Warnock - tried but failed Wheatley - disposal was disappointing Whelan - reliable as expected White - age has wearied Valenti - burrowed and persevered Wonaeamirri - a poor game

and Morton's 20 metre handball that gets penalised as dropping the ball .

Obviously the club can't either -
Newton will certainly be a valuable player for us for many years IMO . He has had a poor year because of injury and suspension - obviously being unable therefore to gain momentum . There are , however ,giant upsides to the guy who is extremely young and inexperienced in football terms . He is very tall and extremely agile for his size; very smart ( albeit lazy ) on the field ; a huge , and usually accurate kick ;and with a body that is ripe for developing over the summer . You don't give up on players of his size when there is so much to gain with patience !
-
Greg Healy - same build , same bullocking attack , and very similar kicking style .
-
The fact that Green wasn't voted into the leadership group this season by his peers suggests all may not necessarily be well amongst the players if he is made skipper.
-
Bartram - tried but failed Bate - disappeared when needed Bell - comprehensively poor game Bruce - year's worst game Buckley - thrilling first half Davey - missing too often Dunn - was rarely sighted Garland - very quiet game Jamar - little to enthuse C.Johnson - continued his renaissance P.Johnson -easily our best Jones - a better game McDonald - rusty but valuable Maric - commendable first effort Martin - was rarely noticed Miller - good first half Morton - some classy touches Newton - freakish but flawed Sylvia - worked into game Warnock - a poor game Whelan - tough and uncompromising Valenti - enjoyed his game

Hey Twerp ,just read my first thread !
-
Thank you to all those who have made disparraging remarks about me and this thread . How about you all read the opening lines of my opening comment before you all jump to the defence of poor young Cale ? IN case you missed it I will go over my points carefully . JOEBOY NOTES THAT MORTON IS YOUNG , SKILLED AND HAS PLENTY OF UPSIDE TO HIM . . NOTE - No mention is ever made of him being a crap player !!!!! Joeboy sees Morton's brother [censored] himself and fumble and turn over the ball for Hawthorn every time a StKilda player puts pressure on him . The next day Joeboy sees Cale do the exact same thing after quarter time against the Fockers when the pressure was exerted . Joboy reports that he is dismayed to think that there is a propensity for the Morton brothers to [censored] themselves and turnover the ball when confronted by opposition pressure . Goodbye that is all .
-
So what's this guy's name ? BTW just read my first thread and don't get carried away with your vitriol .
-
Well now that you've given us this gem my fears are allayed .
-
Yes but did anyone see him do anything positive after quarter time when the pressure was on ?
-
I'm not talking about ability - Cale possesses it ; I'm talking about coping with pressure .
-
My point is that fumbling the football under pressure is genetic . People respond differently to pressure , and perhaps the Mortons don't have a genetic propensity to coping well with it .
-
Yes I know he's young ; yes I know he's inexperienced ; yes I know there's lots of upside to the guy . BUT- If you watched the Hawks succumb to the pressure exerted by the Saints last night ,you may have noticed Cale's brother continually fumble , stutter , and turn over the ball when the heat was applied. My concern now is that it may be a genetic thing because Cale regularly turned it over and missed his targets too when the pressure ultimately came after quarter time .

Bartram - missed the flight Bate - was barely noticed Bell - stranded at Tulla Bruce - was rarely sighted Buckley - exciting but reckless Davey - a poor game Dunn - was rarely sighted Garland - not an influence Jamar - was rarely sighted C. Johnson - not the worst P. Johnson - little to enthuse Jones - a poor game Martin - played a part Miller - our best player Morton - poor under pressure Newton - 5 minute performance Sylvia - junk time possessions Warnock - missed the plane Wheatley - not as impressive Whelan - loose and inefficient Valenti - gave some drive Wonaeamirri- not on ground
-
Yes WJ I certainly agree on Rich being the standout , with Zaharakis being a major talent. Natanui must be regarded as a player with serious deficiencies with a fundamental inability to read the play ,whilst having a super leap is not necessarily an advantage in the ruck any more - just ask Jeff White .
-
Bartram - never stopped trying Bate - little too late Bell - just a game Bruce - tried to lead Buckley - skills were suspect Dunn - continued his renaissance Garland - not as effective Green - plenty of endeavour Jamar - tried but ineffective C. Johnson - another good performance P. Johnson - just a game Jones - needs a rest Martin - comfortable in defence Miller - little too late Morton - impressive in bursts Newton - provided a target Sylvia - a poor game Warnock - was rarely noticed Wheatley - not as influential Whelan - not his best Valenti - no major strength Wonaeamirri - exciting too infrequently
