GAMEDAY - ROUND 2

Featured Replies

 

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

 

Mind boggles

Cant fathom this.

Theyd struggle in the magoos on this showing !!!


We'll have a new coach after the Giants game!!!

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.

 

Hey Neeld, any bright ideas?

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


I wonder how many posters are at the game. It is bad Jamar needs to be traded, our mids suck, start a brawl, thats what we need an all in fists and all

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

Wonder if he saw this one coming ?

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.

It would be great to see the team thrown around a little. Lets are. Nope no sub yet, watts forward, jamar starting forward, sellar in the ruck Sylvia on the ball. Viney Sylvia jones in the centre.


Wonder if he saw this one coming ?

Lol, I peed a little.

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.

I will give sexual favours for a centre clearance


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.

Goal to N.Jones.

 

They will respond to the demon goal in 30 seconds.

It's an improvement on last week. Lets not be too negative.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
