I would have thought that no supporter gives up caring, no matter what......

I will always be a melb supporter i just done see the point in making a run for the finals when we always stuff up unless in top 4 and we need draft picks

Posted

ur not a melbourne supporter! u have no faith in the dees whats so ever.. yes we are not gonna make make finals but one thing u could try is be a bit positive and get behind the boys.. we are a young side with a positive future ahead of us once fit and firing. i dont think u have watched many melbourne games? we have played just about every kid on our list besides the rookie list players. what more can u want?

as Doggo24 suggested, go with Bell. He's been a great improver this year and doing this will not only give him great experience but show some real faith in him (much the same way as we did for Bartram last year).

The more i think about Bell on Judd, the more i like the idea of it.

What is the worst thing that could possibly come from it? (Other than Judd being B.O.G, which in all likeliness, will probably happen regardless of match up)

Posted

yeah, and bell will learn so much from it as well.

geez he's impressed me this year. i had my, quiet, concerns, but this year he has really shown such maturity. playing on judd would really show him the next level of his game which i'm sure he can get to

U dont call me a melb supporter haha. Who the hell can tell me if i am or aint a supporter. At least im not one of thoes around bagging the likes of Bate and Godfrey only to have it thrown back in their face. I love the dees but i dont like how they are managing the list. To say anymore would be going round in circles. But jesus u have read posts about Bate being trade bait and Godders getting the sack even last year and yet u crusify someone who has never doubted them. Hang ur head in shame!

Interesting article about the treatment Godfrey has been receiving.

He gets a good rap fro his stopping jobs and I love the description of him as a "Serial Pest"

does that mean that a lot of computers are being munched?

Godfrey to Kerr. Kerr is a firecracker and wont deal well with the constant pressure. He will get frustrated and lose his concentration, maybe even take a shot at Godders nuts :P Not sure who goes to Judd, probably Junior. We need Travis free to hurt the opposition, Bruce mopping up around halfback and pushing into the midfield, and Jones getting the hard ball for us.

Posted
So many on here are eating their own words.

im not id still dump him the moment bartram is playing again, id rather players who can use the ball and who can tackle and run with too, ie junior and bartram

....

Can i assume that because you won't respond to me that you've conceeded your "youth policy" remark.

How 'bout this....

No one tags anyone and we have a good old fashion shoot-out at Subi.....

We may lose by 10 goals but at least it will be a fast, high scoring match....

Let ND tag Woosher and that is all....

:D

We ARE playing the kids, and many of them are showing the way. You can't just pack a team full of young players and hope they'll learn their lessons, your reasoning makes no sense.

Interesting article on Realfooty: Tigers' young hopes sacrificed in push for consistency.

Quote:

Richmond football operations manager Paul Armstrong said the changes reflected the fact that young players sometimes struggled for consistency. "Young boys, when they're not winning, their form fluctuates a bit," he said from Adelaide last night.

So you're right Pates ... packing a team full of youngsters is suicide, as Richmond has learnt.

unfortunately that would leave only one team high scoring, i reckon we play our best, and most free-flowing footy, when we go man on man around the ground, and run from there. tagging people won't make it a low scoring match, as last week showed

sorry i posted in the wrong thread lol

but i think godfrey will get kerr, tagging judd is futile...and he could easily get under kerrs skin i think...

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
