It really frustrates me how McDonald and Tomlinson can get games ahead of Petty and Mitch Brown

Vandenberg, Jetta and McDonald.  We are in huge trouble if these guys are playing this year. Have looked incredibly slow and way past it now.

How true I would also put in Jones in there.

Understand we have some personel issues today, but there are some serious alarm bells ringing.

Our distribution out of the back half is terrible. We look so slow with our movement. Clearance work no existent.

Yze would be fine tuning his Ideas for mid season i reckon.

Our depth is appealing. 4-5 injuries later in the season and we may as well call it a day

"I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl." (Quote from another post).

Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you Elegt. You're a beauty.

Our youth/depth is appalling. A few injuries and we need to rely on Jordan, Chandler and Baker

We have plenty of areas to improve and no need to worry which or any of our recruits will be in the round 1 side 

glad it’s March!!

honestly, the free kick differential is neither here nor there for mine - they have simply wanted it more, got to the front position, and worked far harder defensively

BIt rich when it happens in nearly every game, every year, and remarkably winning or losing.

Bring em back to reality , says AFLeas....

Nice kick Maxy. I was expecting him to shank it.

Great clubs have depth and cover outs.

We cant.

They also wield the axe when necessary.

We dont.

 

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him

Steven May, may you play until you're 40.

Has been awesome. Lever a standout as well.

Fritta and Anb good the other end.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
