If I were Roos. I would be taking 22 players to one finals game each week, even the Grand Final.

And would be picking a team to "play against" one of the finals teams and would be saying here is your position, this is your opponent, now watch and learn what they do.

I want you to be able to tell me how they beat their opponent, if they did, how they were beaten if they were.

Where they ran to, were they effective?

What would/could you do better in their positions and in their decision makings..

Because in my opinion we have enough talented footballers, but they are just not smart enough!

Thoughts?

Surely this is a contradiction in terms. Part of being talented ought to be to be able to make the right decisions during a game. It is part of the game itself, to know what do do and when.

Most of ours is just rabble currently

what are finals ?

You know bb

Those games they play when the MFC is working on its drafting strategy

A different F word to the one often blurted out when watching us play.

We will struggle to make the finals this year.

If only the umps had not cost us that game earlier in the season Bbo

Do you guys reckon we wiill win a granny within the next ten years?

So many lines............. ^_^

I'm confused. You mean times right? Or lines? Lol

granny....grandmo.....

oh dear... when you have to explain

[censored] I know it's contingent on a lot of things...but we got one of the best crouching staffs in the comp. Once Roosy leaves I reckon we will be just starting to enter the premiership window :D


Mate I didn't know it was self explanatory that lines and times means the same thing....in fact I still don't think that...so calm the [censored] down.

Do you mean we won't be playing in the finals? :(

I disagree.. You can have talent. But have no idea how to use it correctly... You can be a great kick and a super mark but not know how and where to run to.. Ie Majak Daw..

I think think the "crouching" relates to the Toiges Mon.

if by talent you suggest great kicking....we have very little talent at Melbourne

I am struggling with this

There is enough talent there to build a team around.. A nucleus if you will, we still need another couple of mids and a specialist fwd to stand next to Hogan.. But there is enough talent there to work with..

If you remember when Daniher arrived, he actually sat down his team and taught them how he wanted to play!

 

[censored], I feel soo bad... I misread Beelzebub.. Soz mate been at uni all day. My my brain is fuked ATM as you can see

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
