Can you play Magner against the Suns lightning midfield?

Now THAT would be tanking.

Now there's an idea

Posted

That should help if we put any one of those in the midfield, not.

If he promotes Rodan to the mid field it will confirm to me that he's in the wrong business, this guy is past it and it smacks of trying to justify his drafting in the first place.

Round 1 in Rodan

Round 2 out Rodan

Round 3 in Rodan

Round 4 out Rodan

Round 5 in Rodan

Round 6 out Rodan

Round 7 in Rodan

And Neeld doesn't have issues. can't believe McLardy is letting this play out.

If he could kick he'd already be in the side as a regular.

Then why does Tom McDonald get a game?

It's also called selecting players around the opposition line-up, and Rodan is at the very least, solid-bodied.

No s#$t Brian, he was suspended for 3 weeks, does that mean MFC add an extra week themselves from now on does it?

Yes it does - he was showing aggresion and thats clearly not part of our 'gameplan' ............ jk

As 'Alex' (A Clockwork Orange) might have said Bluey: "A bit of the old in-out".

It's pretty silly, that's for sure.

Hey Neeldy! Ever heard of giving a player a run at it?

Then why does Tom McDonald get a game?

Because he can defend like nobody's business.

Good point mate, lets hope the club works hard to lock Rodan into a long term contract going forward.

Maybe Pederson and Sellar while we're going? sorry couldn't help myself :)

An extra 2 or 3 weeks it seems - Casey have a bye this week, so Jetta won't get any game time this week...then he'll have to come back through Casey to get some match fitness...

Posted

Jetta's suspension is up, right? Disappointing he isn't playing, I think he brings a lot of effort and hardness to the team.

That is one sh*t line up.

Where is poor Fitzpatrick? Kid works his butt off and still no game?

I'm surprised by the Fitzpatrick decision. If the side is going to look pi## weak, at least have it look that way because of a couple of players having their first run in the ones.

Posted

I'd have thought Taggert would have been pressing also. Maybe next week.

Posted

As in having to make the trip west to come back incredibly dispirited.

Posted

What is with your need to add insult to EVERY post? Grow up ffs.

you'll notice that the insults only go to the ridiculous, unreasonable club-bashing/anti-Neeld posts

somebody has to say something

Posted

We should know a little more about the coaching abilities after this game. Cant see too may excuses available. This is a game we should win.

Definitely sick of hearing that from Neeld. It is a weak excuse in my eyes.

The South Park gif needs to become the unofficial D'Land logo.

Seriously. It pretty much sums up everything I love and hate about this forum. It could be placed on the 3rd page of any open thread and adequately reflect the state of the dialogue.

It's so genius it even made me smile right after looking at that incredibly uninspiring team.

Have to keep a couple eggs in the basket for a rainy day (like last week)

I think no matter the result Neeld was always going to talk about how inexperienced we were compared tp Carlton - the additions of Kent, Strauss etc. seemed to be something for Neeld to lean on in the case of a flogging

It's a shame Young Dee, this will be a very exciting day for the club, Skipper Jones leading the team onto the ground for the first time, would have been great for supporters to see some young players in Fitzy and Tynan running onto the MCG as well, a changing of the guard, but Neeldy has beefed the team up with Rodan and Stellar, huge opportunity missed, very disappointed in the club, can not see the point, self preservation maybe.

Jesus. Imagine if your career rested on James Sellar?

Bluey's got a point, would much rather see a Fitzpatrick, Toumpas, Tynan, Blease etc under a new skipper I think to a certain extent is their spiritual leader, rather than reeling off Rodan, Brynes, Davey etc....its the young kids that would so much confidence from beating a team thats their peers. IMO this weeks in's are a real dissappointment except for Dawes inclusion.

Opportunity missed.

agreed ... time for the new blood to be given 5-6 games on the trot.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
