Whats the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? or watching the demons this season and expecting a win?

He's quick, but I can't see much else to get excited about.

He and Tom McDonald have come from the Cameron Bruce school of kicking and it will severely impact the likelihood of them playing AFL football within a year or two.

He's big and he's quick (one of the quickest in his draft). He's been good at Casey over the past month and he's playing his third career game. He's kicked two from minimal supply.

No one will mention the unevenness of the umpiring in this game because it involves Melbourne, but it has been nothing short of disgraceful. Case in point that free kick against Tapscott.

To be honest Clint I wasn't even bothered by the free against. I just love seeing a player in a MFC jumper with an obvious penchant for hurting people in his quest for the ball. It definitely takes the edge off my frustration.

He's run into two open goals (granted it was good effort to get into those positions) but he throws the ball into the air and kicks it like a 10 year old and he can't mark above his head.

Neeld football - when it doesn't work, blame the players!

This is the worst and most divisive year I have seen at MFC in 50 years.

And Melbourne had a passage where they received about three very soft free kicks to pad out the numbers.

I'm not annoyed from a Melbourne perspective, I'm annoyed that in a national league there can be so much bias in umpiring at certain grounds, even after the media had exposed this.

Yep, it's one ugly kick but he's a work in progress.

Maclardy needs to step up to the plate, Neeld has been a massive mistake.

There are alot of things wrong with this football team - but the most stark, and the thing I just am not sure yet that Neeld gets, it's the absolutely deplorable disposal and decision making of so many players. We actually don't play that bruise free stuff anymore, partly because there are only about two players when in motion who can actually hit a target in space by hand or foot. I only watched for a couple of quarters but lost count of how many shocking kicks or handballs went to the wrong side of our players or just out of bounds. McDonald, MacDonald, Bail, Frawley, Grimes, McKenzie, Fitzpatrick, Nicholson, Jetta, Garland - all of them have some good attributes but none of them can consistently hit targets!

We can lift our contested possession capabilities all we like over the next couple of years but until we stop having half our team butcher the ball, we'll never get anywhere. Geelong have lost the contested possession count for most of the year but their incredible skill level gets them across the line all the time.

Well, that's not going to happen. New coaches need at least two years to make their mark and it's still too early to judge Neeld. This is why coaching appointments are such an important task, as a mistake will set the club back at least a couple of years. I'm not convinced that the right people were in place to make the decision on the last two occasions. But I'll reserve judgement on Neeld until the end of next season.

Raped by umpire 7 then umpire 11 chimed in... Its so F%#c&i@# predictable!!!! Yes we were never going to win... yes they were miles beyond where we are at... yes, we have some duds.... but I want to know where those two umpires come from. The pattern was set at the very first bounce... Jamar was jumped on.... MFC could have had two frees before the one plucked to Freo. And don't get me started on the 50 metre penalties.

Thank heavens that's over.

Number of Freo players to get over 100 supercoach points. = 10

Number of Melb players to get over 100 supercoach points. = 1

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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 first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
