Melbourne football Club should take a leaf out of Richmonds book

I wish we had a player like Steven Morris. He shows more attack and desperation for the footy than anybody on our list. These are the kind of players we need to recruit.

    Jerry, I think we have started with Jones, Terlich etc

    I like those two, and we may be on the right path there, but neither set a tone or standard for attacking the footy, or a will to not get beaten by your man like Morris does. The guy is an animal.

    True - that's because he's hungry!!

    I think he got overlooked for 2 or 3 drafts??

    Some of our players should take a leaf out of his desperation book.

    They hired a coach who was a very good footballer and won flags at 2 clubs

    [censored] footballers never make good coaches

    Remind me again what Bailey and Neeld did in their playing careers? Nothing thats what

    Agree ! We got it wrong not taking hardwick over bailey .... Hindsight is excellent though.

    That said I still think our board / administration / football department would have wrecked what hardwick could have done.

    Explain how you trade players off for decent picks when no one wants them?

    We could have atleast snared a 3rd rounder for Morton and pushed real for a 2nd rounder with Gysberts. I felt we just let them go just to get them out of the club asap.

    Mate, you are absolutely kidding yourself.

    Take a leaf out of Richmond's book?

    Pick Tambling above Buddy?

    Pick up Adaam Maric, Miller, etc from us?

    Why take a leaf, we've taken the whole goddam tree!

    We have a strong history of spuds.

    Was based more on recruiting wise. They will be top 8 this year possibly top 6 then push top 4 next year. Mark my words.

    Man. they said that about us a couple of years ago.

    How about we wait until Richmond actually makes the finals before we declare them the yardstick?

    Remind me what sort of players Alan Jeans, Denis Pagan and even Malthouse were?

    I'll give you a hint, ordinary as in not that good but put in hard.

    There are about 10 flags right there.

    Clearly not a well thought out, researched post.

    Terlich stood out a couple of times on the members wing for his attack on the ball - very encouraging

    I just think since he has taken over he has built up there list really well. Forget about all the past with the Tambliing Franklin blunder ours is just as worse.. but you gotta admire the way Hardwick has built his team. Drafting kids that are physically ready to play and plus recruits that are still young and have made an instant impact.

    So what you are saying is that you are willing to give Hardwick 4 years to get it right, but Neeld only 1 and a bit, great

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
