I have backed Dan Nicholson to many times to count on my hands

But that marking attempt in the 1st qtr when he chose to double fist instead of taking a mark and copping the contact was absolutely gutless and set the tone for the day. It was one of the worst things I seen all day.

Along with Sellar who dropped that easy chest mark in the forward line that qtr.

Sellar never looked like taking a mark all day, he is a big tree trunk who can't move can't kick can't mark,

Good Bye both players

Thanks

sellar = poor mans brad miller.

Pederson = one highlight but as lazy as Newton

i thought sellar was our new hidden forward gem over the pre season. what happened there?

 

stats say it all:

Frawley 2 contested possessions

gillies 3 contested possessions no tackles

nicholson 2 contested possessions

sellar 1 contested possession

tapscott 2 contested possessions

toumpas 1 contested possession

watts 2 contested possessions 1 tackle.

woeful performance, though would give toumpas the benefit of the doubt being his first game, the others should be capable of doing better.

Actually, the whole team is to blame-why single out individuals.

THERE IS NO TALK ON THE FIELD.

The players dont know where to pass, tap, run , jump tackle, chase, shepherd or bump-they never talk.Ever.

They just get bullied.

Yes Biffo - obvious today. There is one bloke to blame for that effing mess.

Stuie has a lot to answer for.

Wimps

Nicholson may have good endurance, but he cantplay footy

Sellar is tall, but soft as butter.

 

Both not AFL players. Why someone listened to Neil Craig in the first place and put Seller on the list is beyond me.

Tapscott is also not an AFL player. Another Barry P special.

He's been kissed on the doodle Barry P, getting a oppo job at Carlton after bringing so many non-competeive hacks into the MFC.....Well Done Baz you will be remembered!!

You can add Dunn and Pedersen to that list

Is this because they seem to lack any belief & confidence in each other? Devoid of winning for so long maybe. Confidence totally shot. Also the other gaping hole is leadership and not a single star to lift the moral and standard of skills/finish.

Too many basic things just don't happen, like someone staying off the contested mark (and contested/congested packs where there's already enough of our players contesting), front and square in our forward line. Without wanting to single anyone out ...McKenzie at one point in forward pocket, marking contest at Punt Road end, rushes towards contest instead of sitting off a little to see where the ball falls, Port player gets it instead and they transition quickly out of defence....golden goal opportunity missed. Many more examples if i was willing to suffer through a replay.

Dumb, dumb and dumber!

Nicholson (not for the first time), Pederson and Sellar all shirked it today. We cannot have these sorts of blokes in the side, let alone on our list. If we are fair dinkum these blokes would be outed by their team mates for their efforts and they aren't the only players scared of a hard contest.


Nicholson needs to go, Seller looks like a tard up forward and Tapscott well bloody hell ive defended this bloke because he has had his injuries but enough is enough, time to go mate.

Why did Nicholson get a game ahead of Jetta?

I have a lot of time for Jetta. He may not be as quick as Nicho, but he is tough and a much better user of the ball.

Sellar is the worst decoy going around. FFS we spend so much energy trying to get spuds in to help Clark, yet he is still two out in the square injuring himself. I know Dawes is injured, but WTF is Pederson doing?! He has no idea.

Monfries was great for Port today. Why didn't we get him instead of bringing in D grade spuds or players on their last legs from other clubs?

I want to face palm this club.

cant understand why people are raggin' on sellar. i mean he was a backman and then we moved him forward for the NAB cup and he kicked some goals so he's a gun forward yeah? like a reverse Ben Holland?

I'd go the full blooded slap myself.

I was actually debating with someone on how Byrnes would be a better pick up for us than Monfries would be for Port.

Wow.

Because the man CANNOT TAKE A MARK.

At least Ben Holland had dukes and knew how to use them.

I miss the days when Holland was my biggest issue with this team. Bring him back.


Dawes was brought to the club to be the second forward. Sellar wasn't. When Dawes plays, Sellar/Pederson don't get second defenders, they get third. It's going to make a difference.

Of course, that doesn't stop Pederson from being soft.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
