Kelvin Moore's Comments



Recommended Posts

Was just reading the comments made by Kelvin Moore on the AFL website, I actually found them a bit disrespectful to us. Basically said they were running at 60% and it was more their turnovers rather than our good play as to why we won the game. I felt we moved the ball alot better than they did and put them under pressure to cause the turnovers!

I think he needs to look at the game again!

Meh. Who cares what the losers have to say? Winners write the history books.

I am curious to know which forward this uber talented [censored] played on.

Funny, I thought they were playing out of their skins in the first half and we were playing a shocker. If we hadn't been turning the ball over all the time it would have been another game like the Sydney one.

Very interesting considering I thought that it was us playing well below par with patches of brilliance. Against any other side we would have been murdered for the amount of fumbles that we have.

To be fair they were probably running at 80% because of their foot skills. But then so were we.

Fair point.

I went with some Richmond friends who were rightly frustrated that they went inside 50 so often and so poorly with so little result. They burnt alot of energy in the first 3 quarters without showing it on the scoreboard and tired in the end.

It's a trend. We're hard to score against once it gets in there. Collingwood, Freo and Richmond all spent a long time inside fifty against us and had difficulty getting a goal.

Some footballers like to convince themselves that everything is within thier control.

Moore is just doing what he needs to do. They got beaten and everyone is talking up the youth of the Dees, and Richmond obviously thought they were a big chance to beat us. When we leant on them in the last quarter we got away from them, but he's saying what he wants to hear and what his supporters want to hear.

He knows that we are a rising force so he wants to piggyback with us.

I don't see it as disrespectful, but rather I see it as a sign of great respect that he is hoping that they can be seen in the same light as we are.

Of course we know that we have more talent than Richmond, but that's beside the point.

Kelvin Moore can say what he likes. His team lost, ours won. Sour grapes. All i know is, particularly in the first half, we would have been lucky to be playing at 40%. If you look at Richmond's recent wins, all teams they played have lost the match, Richmond haven't won it. Sydney lost it and Adelaide lost through their own simple turnovers and inaccurate kicking.

Let Kelvin keep living in dream land. As for me, i'll take the 4 points thanks.

Strongly agree- furthermore Moore was hoping to play with us, he trained with us before being picked up by Richmond on ther rookie list, I think. SOUR GRAPES-I say.

Their forward entires looked poor mainly because Chip was all over Reiwoldt like a fat kid on a waffle. Their delivery managed to catch Garland and Rivers at times, but they just went to Reiwoldt too often, even when it became clear he was being beaten.

I think they were travelling at about 90% of their maximum capacity at this point in their development, whereas up until the last quarter we were at about 60%, probably less in terms of disposal. But when we had the ball, it was clear that we were far superior in our class and ability to transition the ball from half back to half forward.

Had Jurrah and Green not missed fairly gettable shots on goal, we would have won by 8 goals.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
