Bad season for the Indigenous players

Featured Replies

On a number of threads on Demonland the subject of player performance gets raised.

without exception a large number of people defend those being discussed.

Now there is nothing wrong with having a varying view.

Except that a common theme appears

i.e They are not playing badly just down a bit this season or last few games.

Well guess what we have so far had 7 losses by 9+ goals

We have been beaten the last three weeks by 9 , 31 and 12 goals.

We only have 3 good players on the injury list.

Why cannot people see we have a large number of players that are not up to the task.

And some of them may never be.

They cannot all be going ok.

I dont need to tell you ...do I ?? :)

Love your passion old dee, but if 60% of your senior school football team is in year 9, its very difficult to win the premiership. Look out when they all hit year 11 and year 12 even better. Stay the course.

Harry O and Nik Nat are not indigenous. You are getting befuddled by skin tones.

Add Rodan to that he's Fijian.

Seems the Captain is only concerned with Colour, whitey.

I knew someone would pick that up -very culturally sensitive .

So we kick those guys out of the team because of where they were born ?

What about Morton the Token ?

You really are trying to turn this in to a racist thing aren't you. honkey, whitebread and invader, what's your problem?

But is not the"60%" that are the main problem

boom - boom !!! :rolleyes:

seems a point still lost on a lot

All of the "brothers" have had injuries or some personal issues off field.

I think all are worth a roster spot, and can all improve on 2011.

Look forward to seeing all of them playing good footy next year.

My only concern is over Wonnas ability to come back. I think he will be alright.

"and can all improve on 2011."

Adzman there is plenty of room and I certainly hope so

Race really shouldn't be the determining factor.

A determining factor about what ?

I understand there's a double standard when heaping praise... but really, if you're going to have a discussion about soft small forwards, Maric has done enough to deserve a mention here.

It's about soft small forwards ? Jurrah isn't small.

Fair argument, but 303 games, played alongside some great players in Lockett, Hall, erm Nick Daffy :) (kidding !!) but coached by Barassi, Roos, Eade. I suspect thats a fair pedigree... not to mention a premiership!

It's all speculation here of course, Whelan is a hard nut for sure, but is still one of our "old boys" which is a little bit too close to home at the moment, I think our club should bring experience and knowledge in from what other clubs do and learn from them as well.

O'Loughlin is a beauty, absolutely. Our boys have the skill, & Whelan would understand the game as much as Micky O'. But Whelan was/is a hard Nut, & that is needed @ Melbourne in bucketloads atmo.

with Jetta & Lawrence coming through, & Aussie Wonnaemirri @ the crossroads, I reckon they would really look up to Matty.and so would we all. Matty more than Bled for the Jumper.

Anyone knows what Mathew Whelen is up to? And any chance of getting him back into the club in some capacity?

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
