King is an excellent analyst and gave sound reasoning to his views. Did you watch the show ?

Roos has expressed surprise at Melbourne's gameplan.

Brad Scott mentioned on Footy Insider that we setup very differently and haven't embraced the forward press. You may think that's a good thing.

Lyon has expressed concerns.

Gerard Healy wrote an article in March which was highly critical of our gameplan.

But you prefer the views of anonymous Melbourne supporters that post on the internet ? :blink:

Btw, who are these well informed posters ? And what do you mean "trust" ? It's not a matter of "trust".

I agree that a critical mass has been reached and our gameplan has some gaping holes - not least the inability to perform a decent press.

I am saying that I don't appreciate the views of those two commentators.

I understand what Roos is saying and I remember the Healy article. I think McClure and King, and especially Robinson, are bobble heads that repeat what they hear in the echo chamber.

That is just my view on those commentators.

And, believe it or not, I think that some posters on here have more informed views.

And I am 'trusting' them to have more informed views, not the poster themselves...

But thanks for this, I always enjoy semantical clarification...

An unusual leap of faith and certainly one I don't share.

As previously requested, who are these posters ?

rpfc knows his stuff...

You know your footy, Rogue, 45, DC, HT, and nutbean are up there. A few others.

All to varying degrees, on varying issues.

I read some sense on here occasionally...

You do too, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Nasher too. The opposite of whatever Freak says is usually bankable.

In my time reading this forum, I've noticed AoB, Stylus and Goodvibes offering some intelligent discussion.

I would agree with that.

2 Sheds is also a bright poster.

Yes, unfortunately doesn't post often enough.

There are others sitting at the back of my mind, but in general the good posters don't seem to post that often.

No offence intended to those that do!

I value the contributions of Whispering Jack, and would like to see more of Finks, Fan and Pantaloons.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
