Seriously if a number 12 draft pick goes at the end of the year without playing a god damn game then WTF is club doing?

Run by fools! Desperately need a Malthhouse, Mathews, Lloyd, ROSS lyon type to take over the lot. Craig is an Adelaide disgard and doesn't do much save chew gum. Neeld ahhh um! The rest simply hurry around and appear to be busy. Very very sad indeed.

First to go should be the Coach, not only have the players gone backwards; I am struggling to find any structure whatsoever. The only redeeming piont from this season, is Nathan Jones and he is the only one who has improved. Says plenty!

Neeld I believe has about 12 months to improve the standard. If this time next year we are still serving up the crud then Neeld will be in a difficult position and thw.

But not as difficult as the curent Board and administration. The only thing saving them if things dont turn around in the next 12 months is the lack of plausible alternative challengers.

And from Clint Bizkit today.. "Extremely soft effort by Morton in defence allows Frankston to kick a goal."

Says it all....

LOL, wouldn't get anyone to trade if you chucked in a hundred bottles of vintage "Grange Hermitage" to sweeten the deal!

I reckon Morton will indeed be in another jumper next year ( possibly not a football one though )

There are often teams that look as discards and/or underperformers and think they can apply the magic and have a 'decent' player on the cheap.

My prediction is Morton will be at another club in 2013

If we have 11 spots to fill after the supposed list cull that is coming we can't expect to get more than 3 experienced, quality players.

That leaves us with 8 kids coming in. Those 8 kids aren't going to hit the ground running. We'd be lucky if 2 do.

That leaves us with a really junior list and what would apper to be a very inadequate senior team. I can't see 2013 being great for Neeld and I think it needs to be for his future as an AFL coach.

I'm genuinely expecting us to pay bank over the off season for players that most won't rate. I think a lot of careers are riding on us spending big. Fascinating times ahead.

I would be all for Paul Chapman, kicked 3 today and is the type of player we need Now! Got another one for you as well

Simon Hogan who can't crack it for a senior game at Geelong, quick, smart ball gatherer and user!

Cook was quiet today. Gifted his only goal with a soft free and he was hardly playing on David Dench. There's not a lot of urgency in his game. He has no presence and doesn't demand the ball. No aggression.

I wouldn't keep on what I've seen. We could have drafted Atley with his pick.

Claremont or Perth maybe.

You have to be trolling. Drafted in 2010, so in his second year, and has been plagued by injuries - a lot through his hips which can really stop you from doing much at all in terms of training etc.

I completely understand why some supporters wouldn't want to make such an early call on him, but I'm happy to.

If I'm wrong I'll have to eat a healthy dose of humble pie. I don't see a quality AFL key forward with this guy.

I know we are all depressed and anxious for change but I say lay off Cook, how in the he'll is he a scapegoat for the dismal efforts of administrators, recruiters, coaches and players at MFC. He's a second year player. Tell me one moment of his apprenticeship when a senior player has taken him under their wing and helped him develop his game. Let him run with Clark in the preseason and see whats needed at the top level.

From the Casey game yesterday, I was seriously underwhelmed with Morton and Cook. I love fantasy but I cant see how Morton will be traded. I cant see what he would offer another Club. Even if Hawthorn picked him up and they played him in the current side they would still claim they were one short on the day. He was pedestrian against the bottom VFL side. He is contracted next year (rats!). We should do with him what we did with Newton and Meesen. He, along with Davey should be put on the rookie list. They should be told that they will not play for MFC again.

Cook played like a footballer who was told "Now dont get your hands dirty son". Showed nothing and did nothing and drums must be beating for year end. No where near AFL. Not even some promising signs. I have a list of 10 departures off the list and he is not on it. I can understand the arguments for it.

Gysberts and Evans did not overly enthuse. Gysberts was blowing hard through out the game. Needs a big pre season if he is still with MFC.

What is his game? He shows nothing at VFL level. Any chance he might have watched replays of Clarks efforts this year. There should no top level opportunity until he shows something at the VFL level.

A Cook de-listing would put the full stop and exclamation point on the unmitigated disaster that was the Bailey/Prendergast era.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
