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!

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

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

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 Edited by joeboy

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!

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

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
