Spoke on MMM

Rather than play stupid games and see who can grow the longest beard, how about train? They are a shambles," he said on Triple M.

"If I was Mark Neeld I'd say to the conditioning guy, 'I don't give a crap (about recovery)'.

"I'd get 'em up at 4.30am (on Monday morning) and give them a 10km time-trial and then a swim afterwards.

"Actually, a 10km time-trial, then make them watch this game (as punishment).

"They dress like AFL footballers, look like AFL footballers, but don't play anything like one.
I've never been as disappointed in a team."

 

That is one of the best comments I've heard about this game. The old fashioned "[censored] em on the track" days are gone unfortunately, which is a shame it would be good to see them test the elite fitness they're meant to have.

It's that last comment that is the most honest truth I have heard from any commentator about our club. They look like AFL footballers but don't play anything like one and the word disappointed for me is the worst word in the world. If someone is disappointed in you, you should feel like crap!

 

I started a thread about who we should get in to talk to/train/teach the players and the duck was top of my list.

Not sure he was right about Jack Watts to go All Australian this year, but he's on the money there.


This is the reason I love Carey as a footy commentator (though his recreational activities outside business hours are somewhat questionable). He cuts straight to the chase, what he says is borne of experience and he says it with authority. Today was as disgusting a performance as I have seen. I have said my piece about my plans for the next little bit. The reasons why I have come to this conclusion are basically the same reasons why Carey was as disgusted with us as he was today.

Carey is dead right, they should be not be paid for that frickin' rubbish

North were getting flogged a couple of years ago. When they won they played ok but when they lost it was always massive margins. Brad Scott started to [censored] the players with boxing sessions and full training sessions the next day. Gotta [censored] em. Shave the beards, learn to hit a target and grow a pair.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    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.
