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:

  • 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.
