"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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
