Morton to GWS anyone?

Shuffle of the list at least!

I cannot believe the club still accepts his lazy attitude and poor output

    I don't see what dropping Davey accomplishes besides lowering the ceiling of what the team could achieve.

    This is the wrong mentality. Davey too probably has this mentality. "they won't drop me" = lack of intensity/desire that is obviously haunting many of our players. Watts played a good game, nobody can dispute that, but is it right that one good game out of five guarantees his spot for the next five weeks? I think not.

    Look at Adelaide, one of their star players Bernie Vince was dropped back to the SANFL because he wasn't performing. Adelaide went out and beat the Saints, i know the Saints are struggling, but they're still the Saints.

    I almost guarantee you we'd be in serious strife against the Saints if we were to play them this week. And we're going to be in even more strife against the Crows this week because they want it more. They'll walk all over us, because we have blokes like Davey in our team who think their spot is guaranteed. (Davey isn't the only one)

    Also heard some murmurings about J.Riv missing out this week TDW.

    Would you agree this move hehe ;)

    I think the Vince dropping had more to do with his attitude. He can boogy. If you know what I mean.

    Absolutely. Posted that hope months ago. :blink:

    In a heartbeat.

    "His form has not been great," declared Crows football operations chief Phil Harper last night of the Crows' 2009 club champion. "He has not lost his ability overnight but he may have lost his confidence.

    "And, on form, Bernie does not deserve to be in the side."

    We are SOFT, FFS drop people if they are not performing. Reinstate them if they prove their worth in the VFL, just don't let them drift through a season of AFL football without doing anything. Be hard.

    In: Newton, Petterd, Maric

    Out: Morton, Dunn, Bennell

    Aussie the sub.

    Give the experienced guys a chance to redeem themselves this week, if they're poor they get the chop... Newton been more consistant than Bate, and will give us that long option...

    your view is short sighted Nasher, you seem only to be looking at round 7, im looking into the future. the standard must be set early. i dont want melbourne to be the next Stkilda

    FWIW i believe there will be 2 changes

    In: Bate, Maric

    Out: Morton, Dunn

    Newton was ordinary on the weekend.

    Petterd didn't set the world on fire either and if i was a betting man i would suggest he's been sent back to Casey to work on a particular area of his game- when he gets that right he will be back.

    McDonald still has sloppy ball use and barring an injury i can't see him forcing his way back in.

    Warnock is stiff and must be close, it is also possible that melbourne do a bulldogs and bring in Warnock for Frawley to get some form at Casey.

    Agree with all of this other than I rate McDonald higher than this, he is showing form at the moment.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
