GAME DAY - ROUND 1, 2013

Featured Replies

It's like they decided to stop doing the hard yards once preseason ended.

 

Melbourne truly does have the first Women's team !!! :unsure:

(apologies to actual women !! )

 

Some poor performances on field today but a weak as pi$$ effort from the coaches box. i like to wait till seasons end to make calls but ill be honest, im not too sure about neelds game day ability guys.


And why are the skills so poor still?

clarke running around at 3 quarter time. sub has not been activated *breathes sigh of relief*

 

I just feel so disappointed.... I came here today with higher expectations.

Cue the excuses in relation to our lists experience. Drop every damn lazy player. Even if it means elevating clisby and stark. At least they ll try


Poor Jesse hogan, imagine what he's thinking

We may "most likely will" be on the bottom after round one and I don't think we will get off it.

The closest I've felt to what I'm feeling today is 186. It's not as bad in pure numbers, but for what it means to the club and the fans it is just a horrible performance.

Clark walking out to the huddle. Walking ok, but who knows....

PS Dear Don,

Don't you dare have a go at the fans. We are here. Where the fsck is the team. It was your board that adoptef. White board Wednesday and its clearly articulated strategy of "the path to the premiership is through high draft picks", and allowed the tanking to take place. It was your board that totally mismanaged the events around 186. It was your board that allowed Junior to be treated shamefully. It was your board that appointed Bailey, Neeld and Craig. It was your board that allowed all this blazer/bugler crap. How about you have a good hard loom at yourselves.

Love

Us.

(And I know Jimmie was in the hot seat for some of this time)

We need to get rid of the other half of the list, this is a joke


What an embarrassment, being booed off the field for that lame performance. I dont know why he has not moved watts and others they are ineffective where they are, moving them may do something. I really dont think we could beat GWS on this form, certainly not goldcoast. looks like we are tanking again.

And why are the skills so poor still?

Isn't that the real worry?

And how can Port Adelaide have so much time and be so relaxed?

O me miserum

We are not only being out played, we are being out coached. Neeld beeds to make some big changes. Get Watts down forward or something.

WTF? Clark is still out there? No preseason. 70points down. Bad injury.

Why risk him? Seriously? This is dumb.


186 was better because it was viewed as a watershed with big changes pending. Two years later this is where we are at. Neeld doesnt like fairy tales but I dont like farses.

This is as bad as I have ever seen. I used to watch some fitzroy games with a mate when they were close to folding and they would pants us right now.

There is seriously no hope. Is only a matter of time till we drag viney down to our level the poor kid.

It's honestly not even fair to Viney, Toumpas and Hogan to be joining us. They have raw talent which will almost inevitably be quashed.

I've never felt hatred towards this club but right now that's the emotion. Completely amazed and disgusted with this.

Sam Blease - a perfect replacement for Mitch Clark...

 

We need to strip grimes and trengove of the captaincy seriously, if they are AFL captains then I'm a Nobel laureate

We are just slow and too reactive it's a bad habit we are in and need to somehow get out of

    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.
