"They were very disappointing Melbourne. Their forwardline - Russell Robertson If he doesn't take 5 or 6 hangers I don't know if you get too much more out of him. Neitz gives you an honest performance. Miller's a lead up to the wing type forward. But if those players aren't playing too well, I don't know if you can play them anywhere else."

As usual, on the occassion he gets it right he gets it so wrong.

Yes Robert, those three players are stay-at-home forwards, and with the exception (maybe) of Miller can't be played anywhere else.

But they weren't the reason Melbourne were disappointing. Why criticise forwards for being inflexible when they kicked 3 goals each? Oh, and Neitz gives much better than an "honest" performance.

Yes Miller offered much less than the other two, but he's the one out of those who CAN play somewhere else. He's won 3 brownlow votes playing at Full Back. I've never liked seeing him in defence, and I hope we see it as little as possible, but the guy CAN be played there.

Wallsy, of the three sections of the ground, the midfield had duds everywhere on the day, defence were dreadfully undermanned and outgunned... only the forward-line pulled their socks up on the day.

We will kick 20 goals next week and he will praise the same 3 players

The man has no idea

........

If Miller can play elsewhere I wish they would play him there. He is lost at CHF. Its telling that he got 3 B'low votes at FB. Its the only place IMO where he has a chance of an AFL career.

I thought he was a little harsh on Neitz.

I reckon he is spot on about Robbo. His lack of ball winning ability at ground level and his limited mobilty means he has to create opportunities in the F50 through marking and he must make every post a winner. He cant do this and like the end of last year his spot was in jeopardy.

i laughed at what he said too, he was so far of the mark

robbo does need to sometimes act like a smaller forward and not fly for everything, twice he flew straight into miller and the ball was knocked away

but walls does come out with some baffeling stuff

the paddle pop lion is a twit!! he is the captain obvious of the football world and the repeater of things said by others....

he is one of the most respected media personalities???

harsh on neitz - limited opportunities the other evening and should have kicked five....

robbo - where is his best position? deep in the goal square or 50 metre mark? he can lead up and take marks as was demonstrated the other evening

get a pickett back in and the players walk a little taller...

our forward line pressure was very poor the other evening, which is normally a strength!!

It is well documented the robert walls is a complete and utter tool.

Wouldn't know his arse from his elbow!

Robbo was a shining light against the saints. As for "taking hangers" he provides much more than that. Robbo is one of the very few players who can take mark well off balance, aerial and on the ground. He is also a very unselfish player.

Always provides a marking option, no matter who or how many players play on him. Cant say that about many forwards in the comp.

Robert Walls is a [censored].

Saw the funniest thing tonight.

I went to the Royston in Richmond with a mate of mine to check out the trivia night. (My mate works for the same company as the one running at the Royston, and wanted to do his homework)

One of the more creative questions was to see the first minute of the credits of an unknown film, and to pick which film it was.

Towards the end of the "Cast" portion of the credits it said something like "guy who says the bleeding obvious" and next to the name "Robert Walls."

Had to laugh.

Robert walls has a problem he should leanr his facts before criticizing our forwards

Well said YM if we kick 20 goals Monday those 3 players WILL be praised by him the tool has no bloody idea what hes talking about sometimes some one please help him

Posted

Walls is a big pain in the butt, said so last year. He delivers his drivvle with a certain gravitas that some people would think he knows what he's talking about, but actually he is full of what gets processed down in Werribee.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
