The list - who goes at the end of the year?

Featured Replies

The question is, can he play well to Neeld's game plan? Would have thought so pre-season, but on performance so far in 2012, the jury's out. But it's not looking good.

The other question is, Can Neeld develop Tappy and make a player of him? Too much talk of players fitting into Neelds plan and not enough talk of the coaching group developing players to fit this plan and building individual skills. The resources are there and i expect player development across the board. I have heard nothing to suggest Tappy is working against the clubs change in philosophy, game plan and fitness regime. He should be developed and become a better player with the resources the club has.

Gee Clint, half his napkin will be gone by next year.

In light of recent events and even when this article was first written I found it strange that the CEO would be talking about the playing list with such detail to reporters.

Indeed. Behaving like a kid in a lolly shop. And to add to Redleg's reply, half of the names that he wrote on the napkin will be gone. And above all else, we actually still lack "RUN".

That's what I said.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking?Β I mean by β€œthey” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Β Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningΒ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
