GAMEDAY - ROUND 2


What

Recommended Posts

Commentators have the hardest job of anyone, they are working their behinds off trying to find ways to make it sound like there will be some form of contest / something of interest to watch other than a 100+ drubbing in the second half

Jamar...wow. Just wow. Ryder made a mockery of him.

You'd have to think Neeld won't see out the year at this point.

C'mon boys, some respectability needed. By that I mean under 100 points.

How is Jetta not in this team?

He better be next week, such a versatile player.

Gillies, Sellar, Byrnes need to go.

Watts to stay in the forward line.

Kent & Gawn should come in.

Some people are talking about Neeld's pre-game speech. but that style and subdued nature is the norm. go to youtube and search pre-game speeches for quick examples. Pre-game is reminding the players how they should be playing and what to focus on. The fire and brimstone stuff normally appears in the breaks.

Neeld can coach, our players have no confidence but are mostly having a go this week but not up to standard. The bombers are a far better side than port.

The club has a long way to go

Well it will be interesting seeing the votes after this, How could it include any Melbourne Midfielder; and the backs well they are just as bad. It really is going to come down to the 6 least worst. Probably the first time a sub will get our best player

We really are poorly coached with zero system. The players are trying but not only are we devoid of skill, there's no purpose with how we play. We're not decisive and our confidence is non existent.

It's quite sad to watch really.

If this was a suburban or country footy game you'd swap the forward line with the backline. Either that or just a straight man on man game. Just do something different.

It just goes to show how difficult it is to step up from being an assistant to the head role.

I actually feel for Neeld in a way - he just hasn't got. The club is always bigger than any individual. The pre-match thing was uncomfortable and let's face it, if we go down by 80+ points then it's going to be discussed ad nauseam.

We have far to many players that are simply not up to AFL standard, our recruiting has been atrocious before but Neeld has taken it to a new level (low).

All this year will do is suck the heart out of those players that love the club. How long will Nate Jones and Mitch Clark put up with it; Chip already looks as if he's struggling to get any enthusiasm.

Watching it on TV, not live as last week, but I think they are better.

When you are getting smashed in the middle like we are, its a wonder its only 55 points.

Jamar to FF, Mitch to CFW, Sellers into ruck; either that or sub Jamar.

The fact they made so few changes shows that the Coach hasn't got a clue; how could you give Gillies another game, or make Rodan Sub

Gillies is the only tall backman left with Dunn out, and Essendon play tall. Rodan wasn't sub, he was emergency.

Spencer and Pedersen were the other subs, and hard to see what other mids could have been used for backup. We already have enough (too many?) first-gamers out there. You may not like it, or agree with it, but there's method behind the madness. In any case, even Port supporters thought Rodan made a great sub.

Confidence shot. Murdered in the clearances. But we actually look OK when we get the ball most of the time.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
