GAME DAY - ROUND 14

Disappointing thus far.......and meek.

Where's that Neeld shut down plan?

Worst effort of the season so far. They cant handle the new game plan of going wide. Just keep kicking it out of bounds and turning it over with no plan "B". I thought we were going to be "the hardest team to play against"? What bull. We started season soft and still soft but at least we haven't lost any ground from last year I suppose. I thought also Misson was a genius and going to improve our fitness? Half the list unavailable through injury? This is really a limp effort. Davis for Dunn, Gysberts for Bate, Blease to start ( and for Chr..t sake get him signed pronto, if you can't hand in your badges, the only quick player we have) Cook in also and lets see what we have got. Maybe Tynan also. Surely its time for some of them after watching this.

Anyone else happy with Blease today?

He's an interesting one. There's a lot to like about him and I reckon he's got a good future with us, but clearly he has issues with Neelds non negotiables. I hope he stays in because he has excellent speed on him, something we really lack.

IMO a better option the the likes of Bail and Davey.

This coach is doing my goddamn head in.

Make a move FFS we are getting destroyed.

Our midfield should be taken out the back and shot.

They forgot to take the 'White Screen'.

We had one thing going for us this season, our backline.

Way to utterly destroy that Neeld, and for what? I don't see us kicking more goals..

Blease is a non Neg!

The kid takes the game on, he represents everything we arent - so I see why he clashes with Neeld!

Keep Blease at all costs!

Posted

Mean only as a coach seeing I was talking coaching insights, but yeah he's probably wrong seeing we're going so well today huh....

stuie, you and I could have coached the players he had to a flag/s.

Posted

its funny - in other sides a down day allows players to stand up and get noticed and push for selection. But not in Melbourne, well other than Blease (who never should have been out in the first place!)

hang on//....... that was footy !! wtf lol

As far as I am aware Gysberts is still injured or recovering from a bad injury or he'd be in. He will be a gun I think.

Errrr..... that's a bit silly... Would they have been as good with a different coach? ie: Bailey or Neeld?... hmmmmmmm

Possibly the worst commentary display I can remember. An embarrassing bunch. Bit like our footy team.

He's been back at Casey for 2 weeks I think and has been really good, he'll get a game next week, guaranteed.

Just make sure the Beers are going well & the Girls are Girls... keep your cards safe faultydebt.

Wish I was there WitYa.

Nah, they are easy to pick here. Its Thailand where you can get a bonus when de kitting......

Oh, and I just sent my bird, with 3 of her friends, to a shopping mall with my credit card.

WYL almost spewed.

great news. sorry i stand corrected. i saw something last week about him being injured. He will be a gun. He is a player that Ive been excited about. reminds me of how Scotty Thompson looked when he started.

No Jones or Clark. No Melbourne

I'm sure that quote is a massive regret from Mark, but did he say, "in 2012 we will be the hardest team to play against"? No.

He said it is his aim to make Melbourne the hardest team to play against. We are the very definition of a work in progress. And IMO weare better than last year, not much but improving.

Just don't know why I bother with this rubbish club anymore, there will never be a payoff for all this pain. We have learned nothing this year and are going nowhere.

Mission can't work miracles in one year - this year is all about 2013.

The best looking girls in South East asia aren't.

And never a truer word spoken.

Its ok, as long as you never tell anyone about 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 Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
