Triple "ouch" factor


picket fence

Recommended Posts

1 Stefan Martin ( Close to BOG)

2 Jordy "Skills" Mc Kenzie ( whoever signed him up for 3 years if he is still in the club, resign!)

3 Watching Shane Woewodin in the opposition coaching box!

Please feel free to add your own "Ouch" factor

Oh, by the way, my self imposed weekly ban is now duly lifted!

Does anyone really believe Martin, Petterd and Woewodin will be the difference between a premiership coming our way and losing it? Aren't they all playing/coaching bottom 4 to 6 teams?

It's a squabbling race to the bottom unfortunately demonstrative.

Not saying that, just sayin that in the maelstrom that is the MFC some come back to bite us!

However to follow your point Mc Kenzie would not get a game with a potential premiership team and lets face it not with any other AFL Team.

That miss of his is nearly the miss of all time!! 10 m out and kicked like a Tibetan monk getting out of his PJs of a morning who can't kick the habit!

1. Stef Martin not in Melbourne colours

2. That shite excuse of a ground where you can't see anything, and they won't let you sit on the wing even when there are only 3 people occupying 10 stands

3. The lack of fight after Pederson wasn't decked

Add to the list that perhaps Roos isn't the Messiah after all.

Looking closely at who on our list has actually improved under him:

Dunn, definitely

Pedersen , certainly

McDonald , arguably

Jetta, yep

That's it.

We are simply a big bus in peak hour..........................................still full of passengers!

J McK=finished. He has a few mates too.

To many onfield and off, still accept defeat too readily..................soft!

Shameful and embarrassing again, STILL!

Paul Roos doing an excellent job with more passengers than on a peak hour Indian train on a never ending Snowpiercer express to nowhere!

Agree has turned some average footballers into AFL standard.

Dunn

Jetta

Pederson

Tyson

Howe to a lesser extent,

There will be more successes next year but first.... the axe is looming... discard those who accept mediocrity and who bask in good dollars and content to being AFL Footballers without AFL INTEGRITY!

1. Stef Martin traded for pick 53 (Matt Jones) and pick 71 (Dan Nicholson)

2. Tom Rockliff training with Melbourne before being overlooked in the 2008 draft (for Blease, Strauss, Bennell, Jetta, Bail) but promising to take him as a rookie

3. Taking James Strauss at pick 19 (2008 draft) in the hope Jack Redden (pick 25) would fall to pick 35

Ouch, ouch, and ouch!

If you can't see the work Roos has done in the 10 months he's been here you have NFI.

This list has come from the lowest of low points (the whole of 2013) to being more competitive on more occasions this year. This is really all we can expect. The coach is a proven coach. The players are mostly poor. A very few may develop. There are no outstanding stars (to compare with the likes of Luke hodge, Steve Johnson, Gary ablett or lance franklin). We need at least 2 or 3 if those. We need some intensity and desire and team spirit.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
