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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
