Melbourne team vs Adelaide

[Chook 14,602]

the only thing i agree with in your post, is yes you do answer your own questions, do you stand in your bathroom at home and talk to yourself in the mirror, Bruce is finished,fancy blaming Mckenzie for Bruces bad decision, i hope Bruce kicks 5 goals tommorow, i dont want him to fail,i believe that his decision making is pathetic and hes finished. B)

The fact that you think Bruce's role is to kick goals just shows how little you know about him. I'm glad you want him to succeed, but just be aware that he's not, in fact, finished, despite you pointing it out time and time again without backing up your claims with any form of reasoning other than the catch-all cry of "terrible decision-making". If he were finished, then he'd be out of the team. As for the argument that he's not taking us anywhere, I would argue that wherever we get to in the future will be a result of the actions of the people who are there today. And that goes for off-field things as well. Bruce is a fantastic runner and in a game in which endurance and work-rate is key, I think he is, at the very least, a fantastic person to teach the work-rate required to play well.

Ok then, Mr Talent Scout, if you are calling Bruce a spud, tell us your criteria that a player must pass to be considered 'good' enough. I defy you to complete this exercise without making 3/4 of the league, and most of our list, redundant.

wtf are you on about?

[Choko 493]

Scully turned the ball over 6 times against collingwood (not saying he is pathetic, he is far from it) where Bruce turned it over TWICE, the team efficiency average was 69, Bruce 74% he was in our top 6 in disposals... FYI Bruce toped disposals against Hawks and only had what seems live ONE turnover...

Bruce = Scapegoat

Look. You will get nowhere here using facts. How dare you. Using people's online anonymous prejudices against them with facts is just below the belt. Pathetic mate!

A poster on Demonology stated that Garland is not in the Casey side... What are the chances he will be in tomorrows game?

It probably just means he'll be the 'active' emergency (depending on whether the other emergencies played). Whenever the emergencies are scheduled to play for the AFL side they always keep at least one out of the side to make sure one of their emergencies is actually able to play if needed.

Bate would be very stiff to be dropped, someone mentioned in a previous thread about Bate did clutch at the groin after Swan's smother and might not get up. He should not be dropped even if he is under done and needing of game time to reach his peak in about round 8.....

I disagree. I believe if they need to get form and are underdone they shouldnt be in the team. Bate is not doing what someone of his experience should be and I dont think we can afford to have someone working into form taking a spot of someone who is putting in at Casey.

I agree, MFC should play Bate like they are playing Watts. Sit Bate in Casey for 3 rounds ,get his fitness & form up then he can play the season out.

Yeah but of all the emergencies he's the one most in need of getting game time under his belt, so it's weird that he was the chosen emergency.

I have a weird feeling he's playing today. Of course I have no evidence to prove that whatsoever, but I live in hope

Indeed, it is strange. You'd think he was either in or not.

Was thinking the same thing Jaded, Col needs gametime. If he doesn't play it was a strange choice.

Adelaide had a good fwd line so maybe they are looking for extra defenders??

[Felix 92]

melbourne forcast today, could be some rain today. Players skill will be very important today.
