GAME DAY - Round 9

[Dr. Gonzo 24,219]

I just don't get it, why don't Melbourne players run?

Lazy and stupid footballers, I'm sick of the bloody lot of them.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

........................... and there are still people who think Mark Neeld should be allowed to coach out the season!!

I dont get it!

[Josh 1,420]

North Melbourne Adelaide is a cracking game. I'm going to watch that

[Gippsland Dee 367]

I've already broken the remote - again, and the dog won't come anywhere near me.

haha that certainly lightened my mood

[Benson 254]

Lazy and stupid footballers, I'm sick of the bloody lot fo them.

But they would be superstars in other sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jaded No More 68,915]

I have no idea how Neeld continues to survive this sort of display.

If he isn't sacked now, he won't survive beyond the Bye. Three absolute thrashings coming up.

And FFS get on Mundy. Sick of hearing his name.

[bing181 9,238]

Jetta to Ballantyne?

[Gorgoroth 12,954]

Muddy has already had 18 and we are only 6 1/2 minutes into the 2nd quarter.

[Young Dee 1,303]

........................... and there are still people who think Mark Neeld should be allowed to coach out the season!!

I dont get it!

It would be inhumane to bring in another coach now

[Gippsland Dee 367]

67-7

[Dannyz 2,759]

ACT NOW!

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

What the [censored] is going on? Why so many uncontested marks inside our defensive 50?

MARK NEELD FOR THE LOVE GOD, WORK OUT HOW TO CLEAR OUR BACKLINE!!!!

Jaded....this effectively cost us any chance of winning the match last week. Neeld allows players with poor disposal by foot to kick in. In addition we are too stationary once the first outlet kick is found on the rare occasions we happen to find someone in a short outlet pass from the kick in. We don't run in waves past the recipient (or block etc) and try to create handball/overlap options (ie., create play and run it out of the backline) Way too stationary and stop/start, 1970's style!!

• Dunn is a terrible kick in and should never be given the kick in duties. If he is given them he should be told ony to ever kick long to a contest wide. Garland is a tad better but not much better from kick ins.

• Watts and Terlich are probably the only 2 players i would have some faith in with the kick ins when attempting to hit up the first outlet pass (short).
• Frawley is no better than Dunn with short outlet pass kick ins.
• Garland is marginally better than Frawley and Dunn but his decision making/option selections when doing so are generally poor which tends to offset any positive with his short passing ability (again only marginally better from the kick ins with short passes than Chip & Dunn).

In addition, if Dunn is given the ball short he will often tend to just play on straight away, deep in our back pocket, without even looking at options up the field, often placing pressure on himself and fellow players around him or those up the ground he is bombing it to. Or alternatively he just coughs it up when under this pressure (from him playing on without thinking/looking) straight to the opposition.

Basically the entire backline, Terclich/Watts excluded to some degree, is very disorganised, poorly skilled by foot (from the kick in) and generally either play on when they shouldn't (from a short outlet kick) or fail to run for each other after that first outlet kick in to provide the 1st recipient with quick options and create time, space and overlap run out of the backline.

There's probably been worse backlines but this bunch would go a long way to matching the worst backline i've seen (collectively) at the MFC since i started following anyway.

[Deano74 156]

Listening on the radio is worse cause they not mentioning

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

We can't lose Watts.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Dunn is done. Throw him back to Casey.

And keep nicho, sellar and bail?

[jnrmac 20,065]

8min mark of second term 54 point lead to Freo

And this is without....

Pavlich

Hill

Sandilands

Griffin

Bradley

Walters

Morabito

If the club doesn't do something this week about the coaching situation we run the risk of losing every out of contract player, every supporter under 12 years of age and completely stuffing the future of this club.

I'm outta here. Think I'd rather go and pull my fingernails out .

[Dr. Gonzo 24,219]

Oh god Matt Jones kicks into the back of Frawley's head - if Geelong are the Globetrotters we are the Generals. Pathetic excuse for a professional sports team.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

The wife has hidden the bloody Razor Blades. Just can not take a trick.

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Jamar is leading our team for Dreamteam points.... he is yet to have a disposal. Hilarious!

[monoccular 17,429]

A lucky first goal from a turnover, then TEN UNANSWERED goals.

"The hardest team to play against" sounds about as sincere as "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead"

Both need to go

[Gorgoroth 12,954]

No inside 50's 13 minutes in.....

[Young Dee 1,303]

Freo letting Melb catch up on disposals

[Mr Steve 3,820]

And she's making me watch the Foxtell I insisted on getting this year.
