Here's the funny bit: the blogosphere reckons he cracked the sads after missing out on the senior coaching gig. So he's joining Richmond in a development role that doesn't require him in the coaches' box at all. Go. Figure.

I think he saw the writing on the wall, that he won't be a senior head coach again.

So he may as well go to a club going somewhere with his mate.

My computer seems slow tonight.

And I can't get the AFL radio to work. Very frustrating. Flying blind & deaf.

I had to reload the AFL page 3 times to get the radio to stream to work.

Not sure I liked what I was hearing though.

Watts ...just trade him and let him learn 2nd effort at his second club . He started up the ground,thats why he was on screen but I'll wager that it means his possesion count will be down because he wont get his cheap basketball intercept stats .Choco probably thought any gig at any club was better than having to work with Sheedy for another season

.Sheeds probably thinks not having to work with Williams is pretty good as well.

I think I'll go to the pub and see the 2nd half.

The silky skills of Watts overun the ball ....goal to Freo

One thing really has stood out for me so far tonight and so far this season. Where are our ball hunters? Our players are purely reactive and rarely if ever proactive. We seem incapable of hunting the ball down and then instigating an attacking move with any sort of confidence.
 

I'm worried about what happens to this club if next year is the same as this one, which honestly seems likely. Just a shell of a team really.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeas get rid of our duds please please. Neeld had better install credibility next year because we have stuff all


Blease likes a goal

Jack Trengroves skills and fitness is terrible to watch. In any other team on his form this year he would not get a game

Just a ridiculous statement. The man is the team's third highest possession winner for the season. Plus he's the captain. Frankly, this bashing of Trengove has got to stop.

He looks like he can't wait for list lodgment day. Lots of dead wood here folks.

Curiously I scanned over our 22. Who are you referring to? It appears most of the dead wood are not playing tonight.

You've got depth players like Nicholson, Jetta, MacDonald, Bail and Dunn playing "bigger" roles that don't befit their ability and underachievers like Watts and Sylvia. Then you've got Trengove and Tapscott struggling under our fitness and strategy upheaval.

Am I being too forgiving?

Watts should just go play basketball, that's not a knock on they guy, he just isn't suited to the AFL. If only the Melbourne Tigers could trade draft picks.


He and McKenzie are very slow of foot and of mind. McKenzie may as well just yell out that he is going to handpass the way he telegraphs it.

I'm far more concerned with the players not getting involved/getting the footy.

Our ball winners butcher it and our more skillful players don't know how to get it. Melbourne in a nutshell.

He may well be in the top ten in our B&F this year (despite missing a number of games). If that's the case, you would have us cut around 30 players this year.


What was that 50 for??

Have you watched him play this year ? Stupid reply.....possessions mean nothing if they are useless

Yep.

Triple the score

Double the inside 50

35 more contested possessions

Double the clearances

100 more possessions

  • 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.

  • 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.
