Can you play Magner against the Suns lightning midfield?

Now THAT would be tanking.

Now there's an idea

    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...

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

  • Quote

    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.

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

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

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

    somebody has to say something

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
