Jetta... Not for round one now he's done a wrist but is missing.

I think you'll find it's an ankle.

 

You think the players that are out are gonna help us with our missed tackle count?
 

What other club & Supporters would keep putting up with this except us??

We do. But what are we suppose to do? Should I write to Mark Neeld and demand better? Complain on internet message boards and talkback radio? That's pretty much all true supporters can do.

The less devoted supporters just stop buying memberships and stop turning up to games. And guess what? they have already all left!


Possible inclusions

Bail

Grimes

Gysberts

Jurrah

Mcdonald

Magner

Sellar

Tapscott

Strauss

Watts

Don't know if swapping those players above for any out on the ground would make too much difference to be honest.

Jamar still dominating the taps. Nice if somebody got to one.

What can you do???

I am just observing....our players have the wrong Mindset & have had for years, but the club keeps rewarding them with Cash & Blazers.

In the old days if you played in the 2's...You got no pay.

Maybe $250 a win and $40 a loss?


Missing from Port :

Alipate Carlile

Mitch Banner

Brett Ebert

Hamish Hartlett

Cam Hitchcock

Andrew Moore

David Rodan

Steven Salopek

oh.... and their Captain.... Dom Cassisi

PLAYERS OUT MAKES NO EXCUSE FOR POOR EFFORT!!

Who subbed off?

No official call but haven't heard anything from Tynan, Martin, Bartram - this quarter and apparently Couch and maybe McDonald are on. I'll keep you posted as I pick things up.

From twitter those three are confirmed and Bate is the sub this quarter and Bennell is also on.

Ebert played


Jamar & Jones have earnt their $$$.

The rest can walk home....Mitch Clark has been ok, but needs crumbers

Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club Mark Neeld...

Brad is.... The younger brother they picked up from West Coast....

Brett "MegaHead" Ebert is not....

But it's just the pre season

Very Good DD glad to see you have not lost your sense of humour.

we are all going to need a very big one in 2012

I don't know if it's the wrong mindset or the fact they're just not good enough. Our recruiting over the past 6 or 7 years appears to have been a total failure. Dunn, Bate, Morton, Maric, Strauss, Blease, Bennell, Jetta - Maric has already gone (and was a bust) and the rest of them will likely play out their careers at Melbourne in the VFL before being delisted, traded at the age of 25-26. This is 25% of our list and is only off the top of my head.

Others like Grimes and Gawn are perputually injured so anything out of them is a bonus.

Then you have guys like Davey & Sylvia who have what it takes but don't have the desire to become elite and will just plod along for the rest of their careers showing brilliane three or four games a year and making supporters pull out their hair for the other 18 games.

Good news that will no doubt help.


So essentially our near full strength side is being whalloped by a supposed bottom four side with several big names missing.

Good season ahead.

Especially if we keep kicking into the man on the mark when kicking for goal.

Nice one Clarky.

How long before Mark Neeld absolutely loses his [censored] in a press conference....

His presser after this will be the most interesting yet....

 

Could possibly build a decent side around Frawley, Jamar, Jones and Clark.... Only need to find the other 18 :blink:

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
