GAME DAY - ROUND 14

Spencer is one of the worst I have seen this club field. The definition of a 200-cm type that gets to play AFL purely for that reason and has absolutely nothing else. Makes Isaac Weetra look like James Hird. Bloody embarassing.

 

The umpiring hasnt been great today but Id make the following points on our side and how we've played today: We cant get a free!

Our players cant seem to keep their feet, always seem to be behind the play laying tackles after the ball has moved on, cant seem to set up a sheppard ever, playing reactionary while Brisbane just stick to their man and beat us contested, then break away and get uncontested run.

Moloney has done little and seems slow, Trengove and Frawley - lets be honest they'd be out of the team if they were anybody else as they are woefully out of form. Dunn, Bate are too slow - where is cale morton (poor decision maker but he can run!). Bail is just a Bartram and Stef worries me every time he gets near the ball.,

Ups to Joel Macdonald - he has tried even if he's skills arent up to it. \

Why was Blease subbed in? he is our only running player other than Nicholson, has actually pretty decent disposal (rare in the demons of 2010-2012) and he can kick a goal!

the outs:

* Pity Tom McDonald injured himself as he has been our in-form defender and reads the play well/matches up on an opponent well.

* we miss Jamar - our other ruck options are shizen

I know most of our forwards are backs, but why doesn't anyone lead out? There's no Clark, yet we insist on kicking to a massive pack every time.
 

He has about ten-but he still gets it wrong.

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....


Well wyl and faultydet are into the 3rd san Mig/Red Horse at the local ontrnet cafe in Davao Philippines.

We can't get radio or image so you guys must paint the picture.

Beers are cold girls are smiling...

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

Wish I was there WitYa.

Any news on Tom McDonald?

Our pressure is very poor today
 

Our pressure is very poor today

Mine is sky high.

let's give Gysberts a game

Injured all season otherwise he'd be in - speed and decision making are his strengths, size isnt

Get Belase off......cant have anyone on the field who actually knows where the sticks are ffs !!

he got two goals and shows some speed.

How about Tappscott goes and damages someone again?


A couple of good things from Moloney in the past few minutes.

Terrible quarter. Too many players are giving nothing. I really thought these kind of performances were behind us, I thought the last month since the Carlton game had shown that we'd progressed beyond this.

I'm done with Bate and Dunn, Spencer has gone nowhere in 5 years (who's fault is that? I don't know. But he's gone nowhere at all) and Moloney is a waste. Let's take a look at Davis and/or Cook, let's give Morton the rest of the year to show himself, let's give Gysberts a game, maybe Bennell to try his hand for the rest of the year too. No benefit from playing these four spuds.

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:)

doesnt anyone for Melbourne understand 2nd..3rd and 4th efforts.. So many just stand there.... if I had any hair left........

Anyone else happy with Blease today?

I really am, he is not polished but his speed and endeavor is something really valuable.

I can see him being a good player for us going forward.

Sign him up!

Sign him up or he'll move to Rooty Hill with Sculldaggars...

Gee, I'm sorry, but I thought we'd got rid of "do-nothing" coaching after 186. Especially when the team is so out of shape.

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

Spencer - as soon as I saw him on the ground I knew we were in trouble. Sorry but why???

What an appropriate name Dunn has.

Tapscotts had a good game.

Even Leigh Matthews has noticed Trengove looks sluggish!


Our pressure is very poor today

what pressure ?

get some respectibility on the scoreboard

get some respectibility on the scoreboard

Why should the scoreboard be any different to the rest of the AFL?

 

Cam Ling doesnt have much idea, Trengove doesnt need class around him,

what Trengove needs - is to fix his deficiencies, his lack of speed, get some core or work out

whats setting you back - because you look like a deadset spud.

All class around that will do Lingy - is cover the fact that Trenove looks as fast as you!

Good boy, Jeremy. Liked how Tappy stood up for him and then stood over the Brisbane bloke.

  • 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.
