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.

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He's trying to implement a game plan that is outdated and doesn't suit our cattle.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 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.

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

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
