i50s 20 to 1 in the third quarter,

Bad.

 

What a boring argument.

One person uses logic, states, quotes and thought to construct an argument.

The other person responds with generalisation and throw away comments, not to mention mis-truths.

This will be my last post on this issue as I believe I have stated my point of view pretty clearly and the thread will get nothing out of it continuing.

On person is watching the game, one person thinks the stats tell the story and they don't need to use their eyes.

 

I get that but he isn't bringing ball to ground. He's playin dumb wet weather footy.

I do appreciate the conditions are impossible. But Watts is playing more intelligent footy.

Inside 50s are the lowest since they started recording it as a stat in 1999.


Howes worst game ever

Sorry Guys if it wasnt raining we would be looking at a worse result than last time and still nothing to say we wont get close if Geelong keep it up. :(

Jack Watts heading for WOG.

Jack Grimes painfully underdone.

 

Toumpas has been ok, the bloke has 6 tackles and appears to have a dip.

On days like today, I'd of thought Toumpas would have 0 tackles.

But, his aggression is improving.

Disagree. The wet weather is a major disadvantage for us given we are hopeless at clearances and our best asset is our tall towards.

I'm happy with our tackling. We are going hard at the footy, which is all we can ask for when we are getting so comprehensively beaten.

A lot of players will go at seasons end.

They must.

You are so spot on. We need players who will bring people through the gate to watch.

Inside 50's this quarter are more than 15 to 1 and no forward line is going to look good if that occurs.

We are an ordinary side with poor disposal playing the best team in the comp for the 30th year in a row, probably, at their home ground in the wet, and they have big bodied players, we have skinny kids.

Dawes 3 possessions, Watts 4, Howe 5, Fitz 2 and that's because the ball is up the other end, continually; we need a midfield where Nat Jones is a third stringer, we need quality and we need class or the best forward line in the comp just won't kick goals.

Agree, the wet weather is hurting us. Usually it is the opposite with wet weather evening tans up bit it is killing any chance of uncontested possession as we aren't clean enough.

The effort is there, but half our side will not improve.

It must be a ruthless cull similar to the off field restructure.


Trengove, sylvia, grimes the most disappointing .

Dunn no good.

Toumpas, Gawn, frawley Garland Jones havin a crack.

I knew you'd respond with this. I almost wrote your response for you. One thing though - you forgot to address the logic, quotes and thought bit.

Yeah funny about that... Maybe because there was very little.


You're right. "Nah, they're just not trying hard enough" smashed the sht out of 45's argument.

If you're happy with that first half effort then I bet you're lobbying hard for Neeld to be our coach next year.

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

 

Scores from turnovers Geel 8.8 Melb 0.1. Fix that up and we're 3 points down

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

Just shows the flaws with Neeld's captaincy selection system. Trenners is a fine young man, probably a great leader around the club, but he's not an onfield captain, yet anyways.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • 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.
