    Last season they looked like they couldn't win anything and got multiple floggings. They are also using the Collingwood press model and it's starting to work for them. Takes time for the team to get good at it something to think about...

    We're looking at the 2015 or 2016 premiers.

    These kids are amazing.

    It's not rocket science to see what priority drafting, plus money, plus the best AFL player in the last 10 years can do to advance a club.

    We had Cook, Gysberts, Morton, etc come to our club.

    Fmd.

    There's many factors for that which has been done to death on here. I'm just gonna go watch them play with no expectations and watch certain players such as Toumpas, Kent and Evans as they are the future.

    Still doesn't explain the MFC abyss.

    GCS have been pretty much a stable team for the past three years and so are now gelling very well. Unfortunately due to our multiple rebuilds, we don't have that unity.

    It's depressing I know I think about it often and wonder what was going through BP and DB's heads??

    You can see the difference in recruiting of the better sides like Sydney and Geelong, they get strong bodied kids who are up to the rigours of AFL footy. We drafted skinny racks who simply weren't up to it.

    Yeah we all know how poor our drafting and development has been. Although I actually think since Neeld took over our drafting has been pretty decent. I know Gillies isn't much chop and Byrnes and Rodan are old but we needed some experience so that is why we got them. But Viney, Hogan, Kent, M.Jones, Terlich all look to be decent players and Clark and Dawes are obvious wins so really the new direction they are taking seems to be right just may take time.

    time for an EGM is what it says to me.

    6 years of bad decisions.

    WYL, you and I have been around long enough to see AGMs, EGMs, mergers, coaches, next big things all come and go.

    What we HAVEN'T seen is standards, high expectations, someone to come to this club with no flavour or fervour to GET IT GOING.

    Our young list is almost as good as GCS (except SofG) and like cunnerz09 said, let's get some games into players who give a stuff!

    Is it reasonable to suggest all of your posts will now quote verse Lordweaver?

    Our list SHOULD BE as good or better than GC.

    it isn't.

    They are shot upstairs as well.

    We need change.

    Not better.... yet.

    Bad picks may yet sink us.

    They say that players' actions equate to coach killers - well, recruiting guys make or break teams.

    Sure, they're going in hard but these conditions skew the impression the Suns are making.

    I reckon we'd go okay in these tight and sloppy conditions.

    Many of the GC players have been playig together for 40- 50 odd games. They have some serious talent and will be a real force in a coiple of seasons.

    The media were calling for Guy Mckenna's head only a couple of month back. Good example of how quickly thigs can turn.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
