Like Melksham instructing ANB to ‘kick it to me’ during that last shot.

 

Melksham strikes me as selfish infield; and his instant defence is deplorable.  Takes a mark on the lead only, OK crumber, not super quick, poor defensively.  Us supporters, the club and the footy world judged many players on their strengths and ignore several weaknesses.  With Frost it was the opposite.

Yeah I posted in another thread about that. He's an interesting one is Milkshake, he quite often directs the forward line well but then he has those moments like that one that ruin it a bit.

When I saw it live I thought melk was in the cleare and so anb stuffed up. But his man was near him so stupid to stand there and call for the ball. He should have led into the corridor and pulled his man with him. If the pksyer didnt which wss kikel6 hanb co6ld have hit an easy pass. Instead melk stood ij one spot and waved his arms. Poor.

Think the views on JKH are harsh, seems to be tainted by his poor performances some time back and not his current form. Has had some major injuries but out of the small mids/fwds bunch I’d still have him ahead of Spargo, ANB, Stretch, Garlett, Jones and the Wagners.  

On the flip side, Salem’s disposal skills are still viewed as excellent by many, but this year they’ve been mostly poor, probably masked by those around him just being poorer.

Salem's form after about the Brisbane game has been absolutely atrocious and he deserves to be dropped if there was a game next week.

He's lot his crisp disposal, and if he doesn't have that I'm not sure what he offers?

He also dramatically lost his form in late 2017.

If you want pur effort, Frosty !!!

Lever & Melsham are too busy pointing at everyone deflecting the deficiencies in their own game.

Agree Maxy is the "chosen"because he genuinely puts in. TMac would be my choice as VC . Lever's disposal is not worth the money he is getting and he has to learn to lead. There is more to it than finger pointing otherwise Jack Watts would have been capt ages ago. A capt is not neccessarily the highest paid recruit. May needs to get on the park and stay there before he can lead.

Melksham...No Way ...too selfish

Harmes : Committed but does he have the pedigree.

Trac : Averages > 20 disposals a game. Thinks, does good things . Has skills to show the way.

Brayshaw : If only he had a better year then 2018. Needs to reestablish himself. Last few games showed a lot of committment

Clarrie : Ball Magnet ....turnover king( or the bloke receiving is. Needs to look at Jobe Watson, Greg Williams on relation to moving the ball or Jobes cousin an the way he delivers the ball with his Left ft kicks. AN ideal Outside mid is Seb Ross

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
