GAME DAY

I've heard of people reading too much into practice matches before - but not so much from people who didn't even see the game!

That's at odds with what the Clubs usually say. "It's all about the process. If we do the little things right, the wins will come." Only one thing may matter to you, but as long as you're not in charge of the process, I'm happy. If you were, then we'd really be in trouble.

So in which year does winning games become important?

I have watched the process for 44 years it has not produced a flag yet?

What if the process is wrong?

How long do I hang my hat on the "process" I have watched this latest "process" for three years. has it another year to go two years to go?

is 2014 the year i can start worrying about winning?

any idea?

Gee that makes March 27 look enjoyable I wonder how "process" will play that day.

Glad you pointed it out too me now I can enjoy the game knowing it is all about the "process"

I realise you are frustrated but...

I know you're being flippant but for those knew to accomplishing anything - the process involves getting to the accomplishment, it is the making of it - literally.

As Melbourne supporters - we know that as it was, it will always be.

And that those currently involved at the club are to blame for the past decades of failure.

Winning will come when the pieces of the process are adhered to;

- when the forwards pressure

- when the midfield presents, runs, and takes risks

- when the defence is bold, confident, and applied all over the ground

And I would take issue with any intimation that we haven't improved since 2008. As one of many who went each week back then - there is little comparison...

Except for the process that Bailey wants the team to adhere to.

The process was shown to be working in the corresponding fixture in 2010 when we destroyed the Swans at the MCG.

The players know it, and are capable, and the can win when they do what is expected of them.

But they are young, and developing, and, perhaps, just not good enough to be apart of it long term.

I can assure you - the process won't change, but the results will.

Was just wondering, does anyone here know if Cam Bruce copped it from the Melbourne players?

 

Just out of idle curiosity, and this can only be directed to the few that actually saw the game, did it appear to any that there was indeed some rudimentary practicing of "drills" Ie as though theyd been instructed to persist with a particular style or play regardless of effect. To keep at it regardless of outcome as though experimental. The game to this observer ( or not as it was ) seemed very much of two halves.

Thoughts ??

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
