A top Coach is going to rip this list apart.

Half of them don't work. Nothing to do with skill or experience.

thats called culture WYL & is a reason why the list was ripped apart last year. the rot is not gone just Yet.

 

Mcevoy put his head down and ran into Spencer. I know players have a duty of care to other players heads but players have to have a duty of care to themselves. Leading with the head was mcevoys choice, what were Spencers? Get out of his way and let him have the ball, lead with his head or stop. Should have been play on, if mcevoy won't look after himself why should Spencer gift him the ball?

What actually happened to Dawes? Punch? I hope someone cleans up simpkin in the second half.

I'm here but I missed it. What did he do. I stopped busy abusing the maggots for not giving watts a free.

Left hook to th chin.

Will def cop a week or two off.
 

JIMMY TOUMPAS HAS BEEN THE WORST START TO A CAREER I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. He can't lay a tackle, always looks limp in the body. Given up 2 goals purely from him lack of impact on two contests. The can kick a ball, just needs to get the pill. All up from here.


Why is it that every other recruit can put his body on the line from the start but Melbourne players are always so timid?

I'm sick of making excuses.

Why is it that Melbourne supporters expect every new recruit to come in and throw his body around, and then if he hasn't done it by 5 games he is branded soft?

I've seen some good stuff from Toump, he doesn't shirk contests even though he might not go in like Jack Viney.

So called senior players Davey byrnes and rodan

are stinking up the G. Our youngsters will get there with the right coach.

first time I have been positive about the future all year

 

it would be 23 points the difference if Saint Kilda weren't handed a free goal in the 1st quarter when Koshitke dropped the ball in the goal square and the maggot umpire called it too high

But these days the player is meant to leave them selves open or turn and try and side tackle them.

He braced and copped him on top of th head.

I reckon a lot of the rot is gone, but it will now take time to develop the right culture with what is remaining.

This is the calmest I have been in a long time.

I know that with a decent coach, and two-three good mids to help Jones, we will be ok.

Yes we are losing and yes St Kilda are no good, but this is one of the most enjoyable games I've been to in a long time.

P.S.- thanks for Pederson Neeld.

Neeldy should have taken Rodan,Pedo,Byrnes to Thailand with him.

Nowhere near AFL standard.

But these days the player is meant to leave them selves open or turn and try and side tackle them.

watch it on slow motion, he tried to move past him. Regardless the player must have a duty of care to himself, and choosing to lead with the head disregards that.

Watch the hodge v murphy(?) Collision from last week, both played collided but tried to protect themselves, that's what players should do.

Left hook to th chin.

Will def cop a week or two off.

Intentional High and High will be 4 down to 3.


how can Neeld be allowed to get a payout when he failed so badly with decisions like giving spud Pedersen a 3 year deal

you are a joke Neeld

Well I LOLed.

Good rant sir. The man in the white coats are waiting to take you away now.

Give it a rest mate. How about giving him more than a couple of games to settle in?

Comparing him to Morton is ridiculous at this stage.

django, a little bit of negative critique will only motivate him to prove us wrong, however if we pamper, & pump him up, he may turn, into another bennell.

I've seen some good stuff from Toump, he doesn't shirk contests even though he might not go in like Jack Viney.

He shirked when going back with the flight of the ball and didn't go hard at all on Ray at the start of the game.


1. Great attack on the ball by Watts

2. Garland is a champ

3. McDonald, Terlich, Kent are looking good. Loved Kent's chase

4. The disposal efficiency of Dawes is much better than I remember it being

5. The "experienced players" are just BAD, in particular Pederson. Can we please stop playing them? Neeld is no longer here. No need to save face anymore by playing them. Give the young players a run over these guys so we can at least find out who to keep.

it would be 23 points the difference if Saint Kilda weren't handed a free goal in the 1st quarter when Koshitke dropped the ball in the goal square and the maggot umpire called it too high

Actually it should probably be 11 points the difference if you take away that stupid 50m penalty against Dawes, and the free to Riewoldt 10 metres out!!!

or we could support the kid and give him a chance to develop first...

yeah true

St Kilda are a joke and need all the help they can get

they will be worse than us in 2014

you are a joke Neeld

But I thought the recruiting had nothing to do with Neeld? :P

  • 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.
