Triple "ouch" factor

Featured Replies

Posted

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!

 

Another bottom 2 finish

 

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?

1. Shoulda been an all - in when Peddo got decked.

2. Missing goals from 15m out.

3. Etihad Stadium....(but, the beer's cold...damn, I sold out!)

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

 

Agree with McKenzie Picket Fence. Martin has had 5 or 6 good games this year. Nothing to worry about.

Everyone bites the MFC.

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!

1. Shoulda been an all - in when Peddo got decked.

2. Missing goals from 15m out.

3. Etihad Stadium....(but, the beer's cold...damn, I sold out!)

Beer's cold but damn expensive that's for sure

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

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

If you want to get personal then perhaps you should just open up Uranus and hop in

OK. Let me rephrase.

Explain on what basis you think Roos isn't working out.

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!

OK. Let me rephrase.

Explain on what basis you think Roos isn't working out.

Firstly, they were never my words.. I only suggested that he may not be the Messiah

I think so many have shown improvement, but that's it for them - they're still not AFL standard.

What I do look forward to is watching Roos build this list like a craftsman.

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!

Yep yep and yep!

Watching Ollie wines, Dustin Martin, and others dominate while so many of our high picks suffer our lack of development

 

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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
