Hardest team to play against?

Featured Replies

Posted

Today Carlton had 110 more possessions yet somehow also had 30 more tackles. 30.


Before today we averaged 94 less disposals and 4 less tackles per game.

No question the effort lifted for a little while today, but why is our defence so bad when we've brought in an apparently defensive minded coach?

Never been so frustrated with the club I love. If 186 was the players telling us something, what has this year been so far?

Hey mods, this might be better suited to the post match thread, can you guys delete it?

Cheers

Stuie, I like your contributions but I reckon this is a [censored] poor argument

Firsty, Neeld clearly says he wants to coach - at no stage is it give it would happen straight away.

Second, your personal expectations of the ability of the team are far off

Thirdly, how can you match possession counts when you dont win the ball and te players continually bomb it?

Why our team mates dot use open players really worries and annoys me. Not sure if aneeosnis to blame as I don't know the instructions, but back to point it's not Neelds fault

These threads trying to blindly lay blame [censored] me off... If you couldnt tell haha

this is what happens when you make a school teacher the coach of your AFL team

Explain to me HH how players inability to execute under pressure is all Neelds fault Hh

It's not but in an elite sports industry if we don't see results someone's head has to roll and unfortunately it's just about always the head coach.

Haha I am still pretty light headed from last night...

You're rebuttal confirms how [censored] poor argument is

Yes, please delete another anti-Neeld thread. We've got the message from you Stuie. Have for a while. Getting boring.


What the fcuk else would you be after watching Melbourne play footy?

And there is no irony in that comment Stuie!

Spot on BBO

I cant not drink watching the dees :)

C'mon mate - he's been incharge 18 months Andre team today had 40 games per player experience

Edit - damn Iphone I think I quoted the wrong post as well - sorry Demonfan

I have never seen a team beaten so comprehensively in marking contests - absolutely rubbish

this is apart from the appalling skills and decision making

a better team would have beat us by more than 100 points

i really don't think i can watch this anymore


We are the hardest to play against.

Opposition coaches must find it hard to make their players stick to their structures when they are rolling over us with such ease.

Carlton may not have had Kruezer today but they resemble one at the MCG.

We really were pitiful against a Club which showed as much intensity as country BBQ jolly match in February.

Bruise free football is alive and well at MFC.

We're certainly the hardest team to watch and the hardest team to follow passionately.

Absolutely


perhaps nothing is up - they just suck.

Listened to some of the game on radio, seems we made a lot of errors by foot, still I look forward to a forward line of clark, Hogan and dawes and a hopefully revamped midfield for 2014

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. Ā We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.Ā
