Walls, you idiot.

"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.

........

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
