Are you accusing Miller, again, of missing goals on purpose?

You claim to be a True Believer, but you accuse a member of the leadership group of going out on the field and deliberately not giving 100%?

Player's don't tank.

Read through the threads and understand how we are tanking or 'list managing' and you will feel alot better about life.

It's no use, TB doesn't reply to posts, she just has her say. Most likely doesn't read all posts nor comprehends what the club is about and what their intention may or may not be.

Most likely cannot see what is required in order to manage things in order to obtain quality players and what is required for a Premiership!!!!

    Don't know about everyone else, but I've completely lost interest in the ins and outs.

    Ah, yeah, me to, so a quick visit to the Docs, then down to the Chemist should possibly rectify these issues. ;):lol:

    I'm just getting frustrated with those that claim a moral superiority over myself because they don't want to lose games for picks, and then accuse players of missing goals on purpose.

    It makes no bloody sense.

    TB - If you reading this, you are confused and I get that but you need to comprehend why we are doing what we are doing. Because, right now, you understand. But you're way off comprehending.

    Iagree to disagree with you, High Tower. I am for NO Tanking and nothing you say will change that.

    Then you must hated the last two and a half years.

    We have had the cue in the rack and been 'tanking' or 'list managing' or whatever, since ND played Newton in his last game.

    And Bailey played Weetra in his first game...

    Now if that isn't list managing...

    why drop Miller... you'll need him to kick points !!!!!

  • Quote

    Agreed Adam Far,

    Sounds like DB is qualifiying our expectations on LJ.

    Out:

    LJ (general sorness)

    Bruce (does he not have a sore foot or something)

    Miller (no star but safe enough for 2010, easy to justify being dropped)

    Bennell (pays price for taking eyes off ball and general poor game)

    In

    Bail (yet to get a run, needs to be tried)

    Buckley (was emergency last week, three weeks in VFL enough under circumstances)

    Sylvia (hard to justify how you could not pick him, maybe needs a run for Casey to get his touch back but seriously think thats taking the [censored]. Then again I thought the same when I saw Morton on Goods, but it that turned out perfectly. Cale is going to be something very special)

    Hughes (yet to get a run, deserves his time after years of effort and terrible run of injury)

    Also expect a late change or two.

    But seriously the team could be anything.

  • Quote

    Sylvia can't go straight back in!

    He's underdone after a few weeks off - he must pay his penance and earn his senior spot with a week or 4 in the VFL.

    Underdone lol, He'd be bouncing off the walls fresh as a daisy, doubt he has been eating macca's and watching tv and not training. Of course hes back in ! earn his spot lol.

  • Quote

    In - Sylvia, Jetta, Hughes, Mcnamara, Bail, Buckley, Spencer, Zomer

    Out - Jurrah (inj), Davey (general soreness), Moloney (general soreness), Morton (general soreness), Warnock (general soreness), Rivers (general soreness), Matthew Bate (general soreness), Ricky Petterd (general soreness)

    morton (general soreness) did he bite his lip when eating a orange at half time. this guy is as soft as they come and does anything to avoid body contact, its amazing to see he has soreness.

    I'd be glad if I thought that was all he'd been doing while suspended!

    Hopefully he'll biff someone again and the club will realise he's best on-sold. Flakey character--it doesn't work these days

    What Sylvia did was just plain stupid so he should be made to earn his spot via Casey (and it gives us a couple of extra tank games without him)

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
