Idgaf what draft picks we get, I want them all traded off.

This club has nfi in terms of picking good 'uns.

Hey od, I used two acronyms in one post - I'm on fire, son!

Well, three....if you count your username....

What's your thoughts on Salem, IMO he is a good pick.

I think a lot need to stop comparing the new regime with the post 2013 regime

    The three jacks are a failed experiment. We need to move them on. Its unfortunate but to continue with these boys is a mistake and will ensure our continuing failure as an AFL team. Ad to that Frawley, Jamar and the way Garland is going him as well. Massive clean out needed but probably wont happen. More pain to follow dees fans.

    Somewhere I've heard this before.....

    Is that you Neeldy?

    It all depends on what "the lads" think. Biffen wanted to visit the estate , but when the lads saw him from a distance mind you they started honking and crashing into fences etc. The point is Frost, you look more a pervert than Biffen - so go figurel.

    Moonshadow its not Neeldy, do you still think the two jacks are going to take us to the promised land?

    Guys you are right it isn't an easy fix. I just believe that when a player has had five or more years and isn't producing consistently he should be seriously considered for trade. We also should only bring in real footballers. There are plenty out there and with Roosys collateral he should be able to attract more. This years recruiting was good and our draft picks look promising. We have to be bold and do the same and better for next year. Unfortunately this means being bold in who we get rid of. Fortune favours the brave.

    true normally, but our past 10 years isn't normal. and our inability to develop players for well for over 15 years is the issue.

    now with the new team of coaches we have to be careful not to throw out the proverbial baby in the bathwater, frosty.

    I just wonder if a couple will get rookied?

    keep going pennant the rot set in well before 2007 mate. the writing was on the wall, but we had some lazy talent that could win when it suited them. when they worked, we played well. when they felt lazy, we were carp.

    a poor culture grew worse.

    That's not very nice PSD.

    I have previously liked you.

    Please tell me what there is to like at the MFC and I will bust forth in laughter.

    The proof of our pariously state is tonight's games.

    Saints double Freo score and GWS run geelong very close.

    We have been beaten by both side in the last two weeks by large margins.

    And you wonder why I see little joy around the MFC.

    Sorry Old Dee it was a bit tongue in cheek. But you see very little improvement in us this year which is very pessimistic

    As I said on another post you can not compare results between two other sides

    Adelaide belted GWS

    Richmond belted GWS & Saints

    Carlton lost to the Cats by a few points

    Essendon got within 3 points of Hawthorn and beat Port Adelaide at home, made the Pies look second rate last week

    It's never ending if you go through all the results

    If Roos gets another Vince, Tyson, Cross and Salem, JKH in the draft - maybe we will win more games than we lose.

    Getting rid of our senior players won't help us win more.

    It did with Sylvia. We have won twice as many....

    By my reckoning there are 15 on our list that are candidates for delisting or trading (depending on contract status).

    The stats for turnovers are clear. Get rid of all those that continually turn the ball over. They kill confidence. If you look at our stats for the year its turnovers where we are scored most heavily against. Fix that up and we very competitive. A lot of our backline are guilty of this but Grimes, Terlich have to be under serious pressure. Roos got rid of Terlich once. He'll do it again I suspect. Grimes is a such a hard one because he is such a trier and clearly an upstanding bloke but his flaws are very deep.

    I have some sympathy because our midfielders don't run and spread enough, That does make it harder for the backline. But guys like Nicho, Terlich and Grimes are consistently bad. I'd actually have McDonald in there as well but he has a lot of other strong credentials and has just been re-signed so is not going anywhere.

    Next we have to look at players that can't or won't run. Plenty of those.

    Watts lost me last year. He is soft in the xtreme. Skills are excellent but you can't have a player like that who won't run, tackle and cant win a one on one without destroying team ethics.

    Frawley has clearly gone. The footy world knows it. He is playing like it. He is worth more to us gone than with us. Tell us now Chip so we can plan.

    McKenzie is a one trick pony whose one trick is no longer good. Spencer has been re-signed and I love his attack on the footy but his lack of skills detract seriously from any benefit his mongrel provides.

    Evans, Tappy, Strauss, Blease, MJones, FItzy and Clisby have to be gone and along with Byrnes and Clark.

    We need mids with skills who can run and defenders who can kick and make decisions under pressure. This all needs fixing before we consider a fwd line. I can't believe how f&^%&^d we are.

    BUMP

    I think I should just cut and paste this post each week...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
