Agreed, Bate, Dunn and Spencer are finished, were a while ago - yet we keep them!

As I said, build a side around Clark and Jones... Moloney and Jamar are finished, I dont mind Jamar staying on the 3

years - as he is apparently really thirsty for knowledge as a ruckman and thats invaluable.

Jeff White and Jamars knowledge will be paramount for when Grundy arrives:)

Is Grundy the best Ruck you've seen in U-18's? Pretty good player.

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

You're right, silly and emotive.

Remember those players, though..........there were winners on EVERY line.

I take it back....

we're not even ordinary !!

One good thing about the game: we can conclude that teh following players can have a rest:

Bate

Dunn

Spencer (why?)

Stef Martin

Trengove (lets be honest he has done nothing this season and is either injured or lost)

Wondering about:

Bail

Bring in and keep:

Blease

Morton (never thought I'd say that)

Gysberts - if he's fit bring him in ASAP

game plan wise - this forward with defneders worked well when we had a big forward, but it aint working now and with out Tom McDOnald our defense is missing Rivers.

Posted

Is Nicholson or McKenzie the worst kick in our side? Then there's Bartram...hmm.

All we've done over the past few years (besides high draft picks and the occasional win - ie Tom McDonald) is recruit C graders who are not up to AFL footy.

Meanwhile, some of the "chases" in this last quarter have been country league standard. [censored] pathetic.

It's amazing how topsy-turvy these gameday threads are. Next week when we're not decimated by injury, everyone will be crapping on about how great Neeld is and how we're on the right track. Give us a spell, fellas!

For all the talk of structures from Neeld I can see none today. Melb players seem to be behind the ball or found in the wrong place too often.

Cook and petted should play next week we need targets

Think it's the topsy-turvy efforts most are upset about, not the topsy-turvy results

He's slower than McLean and can't kick as far. Hopefully he is injured.

He's got OP, thats fact but is being kept extremely quiet

Agree there, was an amazing team.

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

Ok,, I'll be happy with a small incremental improvement in 2012. I wonder when I can expect that?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
