I can't see that I've portrayed your views unfairly.

I've been careful to qualify my comments about your posts with conditionals and, in case I am getting it wrong, have asked on multiple times for you to explain what it is you're actually trying to get across.

If I'm wrong, simply tell me how I'm getting it wrong

Sensible stuff Rogue

Rumour was Carlton tanked in the last game of the season in order to get the priority draft pick and if that affects team morale then according to that football logic they should have lost last week ( or maybe rumour was incorrect, or in the alternative the demoralising effect of such tanking wears off in another twelve months in which case we should be ok for 2012)

The fact that West Coast was so hopeless last year and yet so awesome this year should encourage us all to be of stout heart.

We can surely expect a similar return on our dividend can't we?

( By the way Watts only needs one game where things run his way instead of against him to give him the confidence to believe he can make it happen - and it's not too far off ( not necessarily this Friday though) - I watched Matthew Richardson play his first game and he was so gangly and out of place it was hard to see he'd ever be much. Watts has come a fair way along the path and he ain't at the end yet. )

 

ROTA - I just don't think or accept the notion that players think like that.

'Not giving their all for a coach that manipulated results, to the players devastation, to get Tom Scully.' (That's the crux of the issue)

There is a difference between reasons and excuses, and I believe this is an excuse.

Note: We tanked through thorough 'list management,' the only 'experimentation' that came close to having the effect you say was the Richmond game. And I would say to the players who were offended in your hypothetical scenario - you were in front when the siren went, and why didn't you man-up on Jordan McMahon?

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
