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".

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....

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.

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, 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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
