GAME DAY - Round 2

Featured Replies

 

ANYTHING! Otherwise we've just given up.

How about Frawley to FF, Clark to ruck, Dunn to midfield... Why just let it continue without putting up as much as a whimper? OR just tell the players to not change ends and see what they learn playing at opposite spots.

I agree to some extent. But Neeld is coaching his second game - this isn't the old days where you start swinging changes as soon as your down a few goals or getting thumped. The coaches are all about structures and dscipline these days. The game is well over but he will still be looking at which players are running, which players are structuring up, which players are playing to the "gameplan".

 

How can a club have 100 more possessions and 20 more tackles.

40 more inside 50m

20 more frees

GWS shows more than this rabble.

I am ashamed of this club.

Have to say Clark has done his job! 5 goals in this debacle!! Gotta give him some credit!


We already look better with Matthew Bate in the midfield. Clarky has kicked 5 goals, none of which have come from marks. That's an intictment on our midfield delivery.

I just do not what to say 27 to 5 frees and every mistake you could imagine. where can we go from here.?can only be be up. Have had absolutely nothing from Umps. Mark Neeld will need to be a miracle maker. Haing said that we'll beat the tigers by 15

So we ARE tanking then? Why wouldn't you be trying things to win otherwise?!

And obviously the gameplan is garbage when you're down by 12 goals so....

i predict we will lose to GWS this year, maybe twice

Says a lot about your team when your best player and highest possession winner has played his whole career in the VFL.

Unfortunately correct!


Well done Clark & Howe. The rest???

Jones and Magner (and to an extent McDonald) have done their bit.

cant beleive we put Mckenzie in the middle two weeks in a row after zero pre season form.

Bate has to start, and now Couch has to play.

Mitsubishi as well.

Yes you are right. I apologize to James. I am emotionally drained today.

20 more weeks of this...

I would rather watch some one do a [censored].

It'd be over quicker.

Mitch Clark and Magner are the only players I'd keep in this side. I thought our list was poor when Daniher got the boot, but all bailey has done is put games into players that just dont cut it.

I remember reading that Malcolm Blight sacked 16 players on arrival at North Melb. I think Neeld should do the same - I honestly believe that we wouldnt be any worse and at least if we got flogged afterwards people would know why.

The following players have no future in a successful Melbourne FC:

Bennell, Bartram, Bail, Davey, Morton, MacDonald, Blease and Watts.

Stef Martin and Mark Jamar both had plenty of ordinary seasons before they showed a bit in a few, perhaps old habits have just returned.


Magner wants to go back to Sandy

Magner, Clark and Matthew Bate BOG for us. Everyone else needs a long hard look in a mirror.

1st gamer, pick-up from another club, and someone clearly so fed up with the Melbourne culture that he was screaming to get out last year. Everyone else is indoctrinated into the zombie-like fluff and chocolate (thanks WYL) outlook endemic to the MFC.

How can a club have 100 more possessions and 20 more tackles.

40 more inside 50m

20 more frees

GWS shows more than this rabble.

At qtr. time 774 said we had all the better stats. except for 12-1 frees and the score..hmmmm

I am ashamed of this club.

At

 

I don't know how we are expecting to get through an entire year like this.

These sorts of results are untenable.

  • 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.
