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

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.

Yep.

Triple the score

Double the inside 50

35 more contested possessions

Double the clearances

100 more possessions

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
