We Need to Rebuild the midfield Again!!!

Featured Replies

Premiership Midfield

Nathan Jones - Shining light

Jack Grimes - Needs to be moved to the midfield NOW

Jordie McKenzie - Defensive role player.

Jack Trengove - desperately needs support

Jack Viney - Why oh why can't it be next year already

Maybe... but no-where near fit enough

Jordan Gysberts - If his attitude was remotely AFL compatible, he'd have played 3 games already this year.

Luke Tapscott - Would love to see this bloke running through the middle

Sam Blease - Would love his pace breaking the lines

Brent Moloney - Quality clearance player - 1 week in 4, don't see him being part of our success

Sad to see

Davey - Gone

Green - Gone

Syivia - never here

Bate - not a midfielder

Morton - not a footballer

Sorry to say but we're not winning a flag in 2012!

For 2013, we need significant fitness improvement from Gystberts, Tapscott and Blease, + 2 please pretty please don't F$%k this up, 2 quality genuine midfielders.

 

It's back to the good old days of starting to study up on likely top 5 draft picks. I thought those days were behind us. Silly me.

Where do you dream this stuff up? One hand on the keyboard one elsewhere.

Put it this way mate, the person who dreamt it up would know.

Is Tapscott quick enough for the midfield?

Very good post. Well thought out and does make sense. There is certainly confusion amongst our players there is no cohesion and willingness to run, carry and spread. Too many players seem afraid to make the play and instead turn it over with errant handballs. to players that are already covered.

In regard to Blease I attended pre-season training every week leading up to the NAB Cup and have heard similar things about him. Unless his attitude improves he could well be trade bait. Let's hope he matures and puts the work in.

Pretty similar to what Ive heard.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • 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.
