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: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
