Watch the last two games...as in last 2 losses?

Try a little objective analysis not subjective....appears you're hanging on too tight champ.

Defenders are marking options now?

You related to Moloney?

The only time I have seen Green play hard ball was last off-season for more $ in his contract...Connolly should of stuck to his guns in my opinion and let him loose...no AFL club was prepared to pay the $ he expected except the suckers at the MFC.

you clearly have no appreciation for where this footy club is at. seems you're the one hanging on too tightly if you are looking for wins every week. you need to able to appreciate elements of the performance given the situation we're in at the moment. warnock is one of the few positives.

who said anything about marking options?? that has nothing to with it. i just said it is nice to have defenders who contest the aerial ball and even win it. we haven't had that for ages. the best backmen are those that beat their defender one out. our key defensive posts ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS of doing this. get a clue

seriously watch this weeks game for an idea of what moloney can do. is he the number 1 midfielder in the team? no. if he is the 6th or 7th, we'll doing alright.

as for green ... you obviously have no clue so i'm not even going to dignify it with a response.

 

We need at least one more key forward who is big bodied. eg. Butcher.

Next years forward line.

Green Watts Maric

Aussie Butcher Robbo (Jurrah)

Jetta, Bruce

We also need at least one elite midfielder coming through. eg. Scully.

Our midfield

Blease, Moloney, McClean, Jones, Macca, Morton, Buckley, etc.

Our backline

Strauss (or midfield), Garland, Cheney, Grimes, Bennel (or midfield), Warnock, Frawley, Rivers, Martin (possibly try as a mobile ruckman).

Trade Bate, Miller, Sylvia. They just dont fit into my current or future side.

Every line of this team has a weak-link...comments below:

Warnock: over-rated and being developed because coaches need to hang their hat on something.

Martin: a slow burning experiment that will amount to nothing. Elite football requires some footballing IQ and skill set. if you can;t kick in the modern game you are a liability especially with the occurence of zones etc.

Moloney: Old fashion footballer who would not have made it at Geelong thus the eventual trade. 1 dimensional and limited capabilities. Needs to kick more goals.

Green: Wasn't a dominant player when we were competing in finals and only gets his kicks playing behind the ball in the back half. Doesn't work hard enough without the footy in pushing forward and creating consistent opportunities.

l think you know nothing mate

You've got to be a troll but as I'm pulling nightshift and bored silly I'll amuse myself with you:

Warnock: Rated him as one of our best last week and will be around at the MFC long after you've gone.

Martin: Might have lost on points last week but was by no means disgraced. 9 games and to show those sort of guts and ability is very promising.

Moloney: As has been pointed out - WATCH THE GAMES. More like him would be a damn good thing for us.

Green: Seriously, are you a filth man in disguise? Forward, back, mid. I wish we could clone him.

After just viewing the U8 champs tape of Butcher, I am creaming my pants. This is EXACTLY the type of player we need. Im happy to only win 4 games of footy to get him, and wouldnt be surprised if thats all we do win anyway. He reminds me of a once young G.Lyon. This kid kicked 6 goals against Tassie as a 17 year old, is tall and has some filling out to do, put him at FF and we honestly could be anything

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
