Who recruited this guy?

What does he offer?

Seriously?

Looks like Tarzan. Plays like a deadset witches hat. He is useless.

 
 

Typical MFC player. Highly rated at draft time, plays a ripping first game and leaves you thinking "we have a gem on our hands here". Proceeds to gradually turn to crap with every passing game since.

My favourite play was when the ball was about to go out in the forward pocket, literally about to go over the line, and he's attempted the miraculous goal by sticking a boot onto it, only to succeed in kicking the ball into the third tier and turning over possession. Just unbelievably DUMB.


Have to blame the coach and the selection commitee for picking someone who has showed nothing, ahead of guys like Terlich,Jetta and Kent.

Again it boils down to the man in charge.

If i was on the board i would bring him in ( Neeld) and give him a stern warning, there had better be some serious improvement, by mid season or else!

They would have to cite two things , zero defensive pressure, and picking out of form players ahead of form players.

I convinced Mrs Robbie to take up his sponsorship last week as he didn't have one; good thing Mrs Robbie doesn't know anything about football because she came to her first game today since the 200 GF and didn't know which one he was. This was despite me telling he at least ten times.

I don't have the courage to tell her just how bad he was today.

I was cut to shreds for calling this bloke a dud prior to his first game

However after his first few games you have to ask

Is it Him? Or is it the coach?

I mean Frawley has gone from AA to spud

Watts is played as a loose man in defence

Clark returns to field clearly injured

Who and what is actually being developed here?

I like Neeld but I liked Bailey so I'm a poor judge

We had 5 months to prepare for today. It's not good enough

Coach is responsible. I'd say his ice is melting fast

I agree. Neeld has to take responsibility for picking guys like Nicholson and Tapscott, who've shown nothing in pre-season, ahead of Terlich and Kent.

Poor, poor decisions followed by a plethora of howlers in the coach's box on game day.

Neeld was absolutely pansted by Hinkley.

He's in trouble I reckon. Offers nothing. He's got 21 rounds to find his schtick, otherwise he's out the door. He has to present up the ground, take strong marks, kick goals, impose himself on the ground physically. I can't see it happening though.

Thanks Barry Prendergast.

Yoiu really know the game of footy.

want to defend him

cant defend any players after today

go to casey tappy, play well, get recalled, and play hard for the ones...

really was hoping to see him get a run through the midfield this year, would have liked to see Neeld chuck him in there when we were losing every centre clearance having rodan and byrnes in there, although he has no form to back it up, i just felt we needed a bigger body in there, someone to throw some weight around abit, someone to bump cornes and make him think about whether he wanted to spend the whole match tugging on jones jumper

i had hopes for tappy as he had some mongrel and apparently could kick a football which is a rare talent at melbourne.my hopes are fading fast....

Wasting our time here. If we had any balls should of called the name LUKE BALL at selection 17 in that draft.

Absolutely right OMR. I know this is one of WYL's bugbears as well. Spineless that was.

No, Nicholson does not deserve a mention here. He tried a lot harder than the majority of players, he took risks. Granted, some of those didnt pay off, but give the kid some credit, he cops far too much crap on this board.

Tapscott on the other hand is probably the dumbest footballer I've ever seen. His only 'skill' is delivering cheap shots. Too concerned with trying to be a tough guy, rather than working on his football skills.

Sh!t somebody mentioned Luke Ball. Now i am depressed.

Where is Rhino? Who bashed me for weeks over that one??

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
