The Couch Situation

Magner's first season has been admirable thus far, but he has struggled the last few weeks. Ended today being subbed out and looks in need of a rest for a week or two.

Time for Couch to get a run for a couple of weeks in the seniors.

    No Way! That would kill my super coach. Only have 4 Trades left.

    Have to agree. Whether it's form or fatigue, the Mitsubishi needs to be booked in for a service.

    Couchy in.

    Casey game today:

    Tom Couch 25 Possessions 4 Goals

    If he doesn't get a call up this week I'll be taking the unprecedented step of contacting the club in protest (which I've never done before).

    I don't get it.... Talkback caller or something similar?

    I know it sounds a bit silly, but that's where my frustration is at.

    yes surely today would be enough for him to play on the weekend. if he doesn't get picked then he will be delisted at years end.

    I'd like to see some guts at selection and finally give Trengove a rest to sort out any issues that may have dogged his onfield performances. And give Couch his spot. No one could be as slow, lethargic and ineffective as Trengove has been all season and he is still playing. So much for all the tough talk by Neeld.

    .and you left out Moloney there too.

    True. But Moloney's decline is not entirely unexpected after last seasons form and loss of his leadership role. Having one of our best last year who was elevated to captain, playing like he does now is hard to take. Who would have predicted it? Some of the moves he did against Richmond looked like slow motion. His running and chasing are at suburban league level. The remainder of the season is now purely early development for next season and if he is injured get him off the park and get him right.

    Huh?

    Moloney's form last season?

    He was inconsistent yes, but he won the Bluey and polled 19 Brownlow votes.

    He is averaging 7 less touches and two less tackles a game.

    His decline far outweighs Trengove's and while they both have moved into varying roles this year - Brent is far more of a worry than Jack.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      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.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
