The Chris Yarran Thread

Bring Back Barassi
in Melbourne Demons

Malthouse and Yarran have obviously fallen out, and I think he will be put on the trade table at the end of the year.

He could easily play midfield and is probably the fastest guy in the league.

Seems to be struggling under the disciplinarian regime, would be great for us i reckon.

Any thoughts ?

    Yarran doesn't have the work ethic to play in the midfield and will not come cheap.

    I see him as a player with cameo roles running off half back or playing a role in a forward pocket

    I reckon we could snaffle him for #20 and would be worth it

    Not worth #20, would be speculative the way he's been going lately.

    Im lead to believe Daisy Thomas has been made an offer by Carlton.

    If Collingwood dont match it, Daisy will go to the Blues is the whisper.

    MM doesnt get along with Chris Yarran it seems.

    Yarran is an exceptionally talented player that most coaches would want to have on-board.

    You guys have said for so long Sylvia has attitude issues and that's letting us down.

    Than why the hell would you want to bring in a player like Chris Yarran who also has attitude issues?

    You'd be starting forums each week to complain....

    Atleast Sylvia is working on his attitude issues and is progressing, i dont see any improvement from Yarran's second season to now..

    steer clear

    rubbish

    clean and tidy with the pill

    players like this make a team go down the middle and give forwards every chance to kick a score

    running the ball 85 metres is a great thing for any team to have,

    also blokes like this make footy easy to watch and enjoyable

    yes, this thread was started to upset me

    In the last 20 odd years we've had far too many seagulls, head duckers, footsteps hearers and scared players. No to Yarran.

  • Quote

    Sure, lets add a player who goes missing as soon as the pressure goes up and some one plays in the same vicinity as him. Does not really chase. All down hill. Not required.

    Seagull.

    Head-ducker.

    Footsteps hearer.

    Been near less packs than Yze.

    No.

    i'll admit he takes the game on sometimes but as soon as the going gets tough he puts his head down and doesnt get down and dirty.

    not the type of player the MFC need. What happens when in the future we are in tight games with quality sides such as Sydney... we need a tough nut, i would not want someone who has good skills, we have plenty of those players.

    lets go through them

    Lockett: total freak, one of the of the greatest modern forwards

    Ablett Snr: Freak

    Buddy: hardly lazy, dont even put him in the same sentence as Yarran

    Stewart- dont know who he is

    S Johnson: gun player, not lazy, works his ass off

    Farmer: Talented, but could have been better

    Jakovich: Gun, not lazy at all

    Schwartz: not lazy either, it was evident though when wasnt playing to his potential

    there is room for improvement, i agree.

    but not at the MFC

    your making excuses again & not wanting to take on challenges.. this is exactly what those fences around the MCC are designed for, to keep the conservative elements safe inside, without any form of challenge to come there way.

    and that is what we've delivered over the clubs History..... except for the times when we Imported some tenaciousness from the tigers, in the form of Checker Hughes, thru the agency of Percy page, who obviously recognised straight away the 'Achilles Heel' of the MCC/MFC.

    ..... once that 'Checker Hertitage' was smashed down, that wall went straight back up... and the late 60's & on happened to us.. our regular culture is non combative... thats what those fences Keep inside...

    ... this is NOT how to be a 'Footy Club'.

    played senior footy for 18 years and never in a team of 20 goers

    always had a silky smooth softy

    plus a couple of fools

    some grunters

    it takes 20 different blokes to make a team

    interesting thought, name our silky smooths right now

    You might take it but there's no way know GWS would.

    Jack Grimes- beautiful disposal

    Jimmy Toumpas- same as grimes

    Davey- with footy in hand is one of the most dangerous in the game

    we have players with good kicks and silky skills, even Dom Barry

    develop him rather than giving up a pick for someone who is lazy

    Are you joking RE: Grimes? One of our worst kicks.

    All the Chris Yarran lovers should look at his stats. Apart from 2011 his averages are well below those of a gun as so many say. He certainly goes missing and is not a midfielder. The numbers speak for themselves.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
