Petterd set to leave ...

JV is coming isn't he?

Who was talking about Dermie? or Plugger? Please explain the connection.

I also wondered about that connection.
 

Not sure what Davey has to do with RP Rhino.

Can you enlighten me please?

Worst body language......Davey's on field demenour is the worst I have seen....Just appalling.

If he was not contracted in 2013.........

Well, if he has several clubs interested then we'll get something in trade for him. That's a good start. Sadly, I somehow doubt that he'll net us a first round pick, probably not even a second, but we'll get something.

Now I get it

So we had twins.

And yes Davey is saved by a year to go and the fact he has no trade value

You thinking Beamer or Petterd?

Remors are quite often not fact RM.

I hope it is true but somehow doubt it

Have you heard of the names McGuinness, McDermott, Jarman, and Greg Anderson ?

Not sure what your point is BH.

The four you named were all good players who finished their careers at different times.

In MFC's case, it looks like we are going to have a large clear-out, handled badly, including some players who have only this year 'lost their way', and in the process make ourselves unattractive to new players.

Do you have any comprehension of the effect of so many players leaving or being told to leave! Who would want to come to MFC! Neeld apparently has no understanding of people management, let alone the effect on the club!

so many players leaving? So far I count 3 + green who retired..... If you want to we can add Ricky, which makes 5......

Moloney

Jurrah

Lawrence

Green

Petterd

Who knows if there will be more....

Bailey delisted about 8, when he took over the list...... And then another 8, the next season.......

No, they all finished at the same time. They were all sacked by Blight as soon as he walked into the club. They didn't play a game under him. Two of them were captains. They went on to win a flag in Blight's first year.

That's my point. It wasn't popular at the time, but he made the right call. Has Neeld ? Time will tell.

I think so.

I agree it's doubtful, but the OP did say that this was the case. I just don't see where a guy who can't cope with the workload and can't get a game with us will be doing any better at a successful club.


You would think that Bate, Dunn, Bennell, Joel Mac, Bartram, Gys, Martin, Morton and perhaps Rivers And Davey might also be in the mix to get pushed, want out or be traded..... regardless of value or contract status.

Not saying that they should stay, but that's A LOT of players. And we gotta replace them with someone (preferably with experience) who want to come here.

No point putting Joe Blow from Manangatang reserves on the list just to fill a spot. We do have to fill the numbers with quality, or it will be much more than Neeld's career collapsing.

*queue reply post claiming Joe Blow would be better and put him at CHF*

Well said 'Moonshadow'.

That is my memory too BH

There was hell to pay at the time

however Adelaide has had way more upside than down every since

No surprise if he goes. I thought something was up with him halfway through the year when he couldnt stay in the side that he was out of favour. Disappointing.

Anyone who doesn't work hard defensively when we don't have the ball won't survive under MN.

Just keep watching - the number will grow, it will be the players' fault, and Neeld will be applauded, until the middle of next year!

The number will grow because they are rubbish. I have watched for too long that we have held onto players that aren't quite up to it or they'll soon click and learn work ethic or play for the team.

I note that Adelaide made 10 changes to their primary list last year as well as delisting 3 rookies. What affect has that had on the Crows this year?

I'm scared. Watch what you say. Anyone of us could be next.

Apologies BH - my confusion - partly the Jarmans. Nevertheless, that's four good players at the end of their careers (similar to Green), only a fraction of the total number MFC appear to be looking at, and players of all ages and development.

Now, may be an appropriate Time to put up Images of Checker Hughes & Norm smith, & maybe some from 1964?

Less flash & more real success.

#Edit: & maybe bookend them with our first Premiership Cup & our last Premiership Cup?

Ha ! We can't walk out , can we Willo ? We're trapped !

I had a tiger supporter mate once tell me that he hoped his team would merge so he wouldn't have to barrack for them anymore ! How sad is that ?

Time for Mitch to be added I reckon...........

I know the feeling Macca

 

Bringing some of these blokes into the club under the Bailey run n' gun style has done nothing for their development.

On top of being unable to play the modern game, it appears many also think they are a little better than they truly are.

We have been a mess for years, and have finished above 2 expansion clubs...................none of these players could be suprised by what is happening, and if they are they are fools.

im loving it how our rejects are taking the initiative and shopping themselves out. going to make it a hell of a lot easier if they do all the leg work to organise a trade for us.

Will get the ball rolling early to. If we get a draft pick for Petterd then we ll have the whole trade period to possibly turn that pick into something.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
