The next coach MUST teach our blokes to be better with their feet

Ive had enough of this year i just want a new senior coach to come in, sit the hole list down be blunt with each player and say how it is!!!!!

I still want rocket Eade to coach us nxt year as i believe he will be the best avaliable. Not these rookie assistants coaches, some people are silly thinking the likes of Mcarteny, Sanderson, Neeld, etc will turn it round u have rocks in your head. A hard experienced coach is in demand.

At seasons end we should delist/Trade the following:

Bartram- Skills aren't up to Scratch

Newton- Not good enough

Maric- Limitations

Spencer- Had his chance

Campbell- Injury prone

Trade:

Sylvia- I cant believe this bloke wants more coin especially what he dished up today

Bate- The time has come.

Overall i cant believe the likes of Scully, Morton and Sylvia want more coin when they dish up crap like today.

 

So the title of the thread is about footskills.

Then you talk about the next coach.

Then you talk about delistings.

Then you talk about players out of contract.

Great thread.

The next coach should teach our players how to play football, and naturally part of that is how to kick. But how to win the ball and how to use the ball by hand to get out of trouble (and not in trouble) is just as important.

Agree. However today we won the ball, we just murdered it when we had it.

 

Spencer- Had his chance

Eh? When did Spencer have his chance? Spencer is contracted for next year and definatley deserves a chance.

I have...and for a long long time failed to understand how anyone let alone players at Melbourne can actually play at th etop level whilst seemingly mising what must surely be basic prerequisites and the most noticable of all teh ability to kick a ball decently.

SOme need to quit being cute with the ball and just kick it properly..its not really that hard..it isnt

Isn't much room left for him in the team.

I see a Carlton like scenario, except instead of Kreuzer, Hampson, Warnock and Jacobs, we have Jamar, Martin, Gawn and Spencer.

One will have to go. We could try and get a second rounder for Spencer out of Richmond in 2012.

Anyway, agree with the idea of the thread. Our best kicks are just good kicks and our next best are average.

Im just stating the bleeding obvious, there are passengers on our list who just arent good enough, they must go, a topline coach is in order for our players who have the potential, then our out of contract players who are demanding huge coin just simply arent worth it. There futures with us must be seriously reassesed.

its all logical facts!!!!!

Better with their feet, yes. But it doesn't help when you make the incorrect decision in the first place. Decision making and confidence is the route of our problems at the moment.

  • 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.
