GAMEDAY - ROUND 5


Chook

Recommended Posts

No Grimes, sitting 20 metres off your man is NOT considered defending.

Hi Jack Watts - just saw you come into view - nice jogging action

Watts - finished for me... I know he might be better developed somewhere else - I know big guys take longer - I know he has great skills.

But he's a big girls blouse - and we just can't keep carrying him in a game where we need to tighten up.

Watts just gave up on the chase out of our forward line - pathetic and gone. Probably a nice bloke - never want to see him again...

Mate - it's easy to run around - it's hard to play footy - mate.

Stuie - you're just wrong. It will be hard for you accept that - but it's a fact. You've got rose coloured glasses that are restricting your vision - all the people without those glasses are the one's watching the game "properly".

If he's injured, that might be why he's NOT chasing HARD

We might get up and win this - but the pressure on Neeld won't be released.

Watts - sigh.

No - you're wrong again and on both counts -

1. I don't hate Watts, he's just not a very good footballer

2. No he's not - watch Terlich

(oh, and 3: "your")

Wrong again Stuie - you're struggling here, aren't you - lots of posts praising him

"And watts is a beautiful kick - and must play forward"

"Good mark, Watts... so he has to stay up forward"

thought I'd save you the trouble, Stuie - this is obviously a bit beyond you.

You fool. got and look at the post numbers.

off to the ignore list for you, Stuie...

Sorry Frankie, what were you saying about your opinion of Watts....?

I can't understand the difference between 2012 and 2013. We are no better 12 months on. It's a mirror image.

Yet somehow we'll be fed lines about the age of the list and redevelopment. I'd like to know based on what we've seen would inspire anyone to believe that 12 months from now would be better?

It's so depressing to watch.

Seriously. We are just woeful. Absolutely woeful.

It's embarrassing. Whoever organized our midfield should be shot. Seriously it's not even VFL standard. Forget being poor, we are always on the wrong side.

Mark Neeld has to be accountable for bringing in absolute spuds like Pederson and Rodan and getting rid of players like Moloney without replacing their role in the team. It's irresponsible.

Every week we lose the uncontested possessions by miles yet we still dont man up! We play wide and as soon as the opposistion get the ball they go up the middle and we do nothing to stop it. Im all for giving the coach a chance but come on. 5 rounds in now and this happens every game! Neeld the gameplan is not working mate, either we dont have the fitness or skill or discipline or whatever it is we dont have it. Time to hit the reset button because we cant get any worse. Surely....

Just heard Tim Watson say Melbourne are not putting in 100 % and thats exactly how it looks they look defeated before they start

Grimes attempted tackle was pathetic

again because of watts poor efforts early in the game in defence,,,, has stolen the players excitement & energy from last week.

they're deflated because we can't be continually chasing tail.

the backline looks better with watts not there,, & he won't compete well enough as a medium tall, won't lead or run when he actually has the ball. he has only the wing left or out! I think out!

I wanted Nicho in for Zorko,,, & Strauss in for a HB flank role. McKenzie in to go to Rockliff...

Next week we need Strauss in & watts out.

Strauss Dunn & Nicho in next week.

Work rate just doesn't exist and hasn't for years my call is get rid of the blokes that don't want it bad enough and never ever play then again. It should be a prevlidge and an honor to get an opportunity to play afl not many of these guys look as if they give a [censored]

you're kidding yourself, the bloke has been brilliant all day, has ran and ran and ran!, he is the one bloke you should not be having a crack at mate!!!

Unfortunately Grime has run and run and run... and then consistently missed targets by hand and by foot.

Then get off the forum if you are sick of opinions. Isnt a hard solution for most people. Seems difficult for yourself though unsurprisingly.

You need to give it a rest Tiger and think about the lives of the young men you so flippantly punish with your ego.

See you in a month, I'll make sure of it tough guy!

If Trengove wasn't pick two he would be delisted at the end of the season. Clearly he has shown nothing in four years that shows he is better than a good VFL player. Making him captain as a marketing ploy must be the worst decision in the 150 history of the club.

There's about 150 worst decisions to choose from unfortunately.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
