THE RAT'S CLACKER CUP

Featured Replies

 

I'm very confident that MFC will win this one. (Famous last words?)

If not, the Club should change its theme song to The End. (For all the youngies, it's a song by The Doors.)

Toumpas is not playing because he is not close to AFL level yet. He just seems very out of his depth.

 

Our treatment of Toumpas has been terrible and it continues. What are our development plans for players? What is going on at this football club?

How does Watts put in two shockers, get dropped, not play anywhere and then return straight away?!

Poor Jimmy, he must be a bit disheartened and probably pretty confused. Especially when guys like Sylvia get selected week in week out.

This week has reminded me of BH's line - this club gives me nothing.

Because Slyvia has had more impact on the three games played so far this year than Toumpas has!

FWIW, and file under "unconfirmed", but was wondering why he wasn't listed anywhere:

"The reason Dom Barry was not named at Casey this weekend is because he is under a club imposed ban. He got home at 5am after the North Ballarat game."

So the club is again derelict in it's duty to develop young players! How could they have not provided Dom with a Sat Nav so he could findhis way back to Melbourne is a disgrace!

ooohhh right.... Col's fault or was he sporting a beard and got locked up in Ballarat?


Im just hoping for a win. I dont care that its GWS. After this week we just need something good to happen. I want the new guys to have a win and for Neeldy as well.

If we lose I cannot even fathom what next week will be like. I think id just dig a hole and bury myself in it.

Simple really - supporters typically base selection each week on viewing 120 minutes of footy from the week before, quite often on Foxtel.

Match committees at all AFL clubs, however, also take other things into consideration when selecting sides each week. For instance, they also look at how players train ALL week as something relevant to team selection - not something that most of us get line of sight on.

Regardless the treatment and the handling of Watts is another bad judgement call by Neeld.

Still getting high on Neeld's bruise free football Ron?

 

Can anyone tell me what radio station the game's on? Sitting OS and can't seem to find the info online.

TripleM or AFL Match Centre

On the Casey game thread, someone posted that they spoke with Dom and he said he has a hamstring problem.

Dont want to make this a Jack Watts thread but I wonder why they havent played him on a wing where he can drift back and forward to provide the extra man in defence and an additional target up forward. He does seem to have pace and does have an excellent sense of creating space. If his teammates looked for him and worked off him he could perhaps get his confidence back and regain his skills which have been so noticeably affected

I tend to agree that If he showed the committment to run hard both ways the wing in a role similar to what Richo played late would be his best position for the side. If he is willing to work it is hard to tag a player of his size.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
