Enough said

 

Lever gets "bone bruising" from a match almost two weeks ago.

No reports. No news. Nothing.

Then, two days before the next game. 

"Yeah nah he's injured."

I am absolutely done with this amateur club. I was already tossing up whether to waste my Saturday but I'm not going. 

What embarrassing player management. But that's not even the main issue for mine. The club is treating members with contempt, and like idiots. I'm sick of it.

    Totally irrelevant. This is a commentary blog for anyone to comment. It is also anonymous. Who has achieved and in what sport or other field is not revealed. By the way how many games did you play before you died of mesothelioma Steve?

     

    One day I hope the site admin makes the decision to ban posters for rubbishing our young players as spuds. 

    The kid has a couple of games under his belt and is developing pretty well in my eyes. 

    Btw, I love the ignore function on this site.

    So true, and for all those Pert defenders that sort attitude comes from the top. Honesty to supporters is a non negotiable in all aspects of communication bar recruiting. And when you think about it do you think the hiding of the injury until selection time has hindered Freo in any meaningful way.

    Salem Frost. jWagner 

    Brayshaw Viney Fritsch 

    Petracca Tmcd Baker

    Jones Hunt Petty Hannan 

    missing 6 from my best 22 ... Lever 1 Hibberd 1 jetta 5 Melksham 5 Jsmith indef Vandenburg indef

     

    We’ve had a change in the coaching department. That usually directly results in most underperforming teams winning.  

    Ergo, we will win regardless of Lever, Hibberd and Garlett not playing.  


    In Vegas and wondering if anyone knows if you can watch AFL live anywhere?

    Yep!!

    Lever brought back too early by the fitness gurus. What a surprise.

    And that is the least imposing looking MFC forward six on paper we’ve seen in some years. Preuss can’t get a run among that lot? Really?

    Can’t win games of footy if you’ve got no firepower. Freo by 7 goals.

    ANB ... ugh.

    Oscar McDonald not named at any level this week. Not an emergency, not in the Casey squad and not on the injury list.

    Seems strange. Hope he's traveling alright.

     


    These threads are getting more depressing as the year trickles on, much like our entire season.

    Injuries, poor form and just an all round bleakness to it all.

    I cant even bring myself to go to the game. ?

    I don't mind it if Fritsch actually lines up as selected in the forward line.  Great mark and very good kick for goal.   Will do a lot for his confidence as he looks a bit lost as a defender.

    He will be at least one player back in his natural position.  Now to put Gus back where he belongs in the middle. 

     

    With the change of coaches our line ups and positional changes during the game will be interesting to watch as will our ball movement.  Hopefully, more control than manic play on. 

    And hopefully if Oliver gets 25-35 possessions they have an impact and gain more than 55mts!  We need him to get much more value for his work.

    The fitter and more match ready you are the less likely you will a) be susceptible to these kind of knocks and b) able to rebound quickly when they do occur. 

    All pointers say he wasn’t ready to return.

    The pressure is on Hogan to kick a few this week.  No Lobb, McCarthy, Tabener

    If May with Hore intercepting, can keep Hogan quiet it would be significant.

    then it will come down to the midfield battle. if they break even and can spread and give their small fwds some time we will get beaten.  C'mon demons!

    and FFS play Fristch up fwd!! he kicking inside 50 is terrific and he has an eye for goal

    TMac and Weid have kicked a combined 18 goals in 20 games this season. That’s not one but your TWO key forwards combining for less than a goal per AFL game. This despite Melbourne having had the SECOND highest number of forward entries among all eighteen clubs in 2019 thus far. 

    Posters who keep defending these two really should read that paragraph again and just let those returns sink in for a minute or two.

    If that doesn’t make them quite possibly the two players with the most pressure on them in the league I don’t know what else they’d have to do (or in their case, not do).

    Hogan will be looking to impress though, no doubt.

    Why would you even post such a thing? Says more about you than it does about Steve.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
