Clark is more of a big bodied midfielder or crumber than a forward. He'd be awesome in the ruck, but for some reason, we're not playing him there.

Probably has something to do with the four million dollars we're paying him to be a full forward...

I was thinking this the other day, I'd like to see Martin "tag" Naitanui if that is possible with ruckmen.

I'll just preface this with saying I rarely complain about umpires, but... I have never been more [censored] off at the umpiring of a game of football in my whole life. A few sloppy high tackles in t

We are playing a top 4 side, in their home state, and we are a bottom 4 side. What did you expect Neeld

to do? Wave his magic wand and we'd suddenly be good?!

It'll take time.

i expect us to be competitive, we look like a 3rds side, embarrising

He's trying to implement a game plan that is outdated and doesn't suit our cattle. We can't afford another two to three year build.

I don't care what we're paying him. I just care what he's good at. And he's not good at marking the ball in a contested situation. Ruckman are damn important, so we should swap Jamar for Clark. Jamar can mark the ball better, and Clark is of far more use around the ground.

And thats the problem isn't it? Would be nice to be able to watch a game with some expectation that we might be able to actually compete.

That'll happen Doc, but come on, as if it was ever going to be this week. With the events of this week and the absolute gulf in class between the sides, there was never going to be any result other than this one.

It's like a training drill.

For all the hot air and tough talking from Neeld, we have become less competitive since he took over. Shameful.

We are worse than 08 and 09 in everyway. Unorganized, clueless, skill less

I too am shattered Clark isn't single handedly pulling us out of the poo. We should give that money to the midfielders and defenders who are also getting completely spanked.

It's our disposal across the entire ground. Outside of say Watts and Trengove, we rarely hit targets.

21-1 frees holy [censored] and 4 goals 2 resulting from free kicks

To be honest, most of them have been clumsy free kicks that were there. The last goal however was [censored] abhorrent. Definitely ducked into it.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
