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: 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.
