If only Brock didnt get injured you may have a diffrent outlook, and I think Davey is a match winner, provided umpires dont pay free kicks against Neitz.

We have potential superstars - McClean (if he stays injury free), Bruce (when he is given a set position), Rivers (when he has support and is injury free) and Davey (when he applies himself consistently).

We need to play more as a super team rather than have a superstar. PTA won a premiership without a genuine superstar. Same with the Swans (perhaps Goodes or Hall are superstars). If Neitz would remain injury free he could probably be like Hall.

Rather than need a superstar, we need a good medical team and perhaps more imprtantly a fitness coach who knows about football rather than athletics.

 

white definitely was.

i really am one to stick with the 'champion team' philosophy, and i think that in today's saturated society, any good player in a champion team gets built up into the mould of a 'superstar.'


I wouldn't put any Melbourne player in the superstar category.

I do however have high hopes for Davey, McLean and Rivers. These are three blokes we must build our team around.

Jones and Sylvia are outside chances of becoming superstars.

Bruce and Green are no where near the mark.

if bruce is even close to a superstar, i'm glad we don't have any.

If Bruce was to be a superstar, he would have already achieved it by now. He might have become one if it wasn't for that thug Guerra and his tackle, @$$hole.

As much as it hurts me to say it, we do not have a single player with the capacity to take a game by the scuff of the neck.

Think about it, who could you seriously rate as a game turner? A player who literally makes the game his own?

Not one.

We have a few who can produce some, occasional, inconsistient and patchy moments of great play, or freak goals, most often when the pressure is off.

But we don't have an Adam Goodes, Chris Judd or Jonathon Brown.

The list says it all.

Brock > often injured

Sylvia > potential when will it be delivered?

Johnston > every third or forth week

Nietz > nearing the end and it shows

White > fading

Davey > the flash in name and nature (as in the occasional flash)

JMac > a brave goer

Miller > plodder

Jamar > big and?

Paul Johnson > free trip to WA to see mum and dad

Godfrey > probably bleeds red and blue big hearted "clubman"

Whelan > See above

Bell, Dunn, Petterd, Bate, Bartram not one has made me sit up and think "wow, how ggod is this kid?"

I now think we are in a world of hurt. I hope we dont hear the re-building phase bit.

We had a superstar

His name was Garry Lyon.

He played 10 games.

Hence the luck of the MFC.


we had one, his name was barassi, he went to carlton.

Yah. Johnson is as Victorian as you can get (whatever that means :blink: lol). I remembering him quoting somewhere how he hated talking to his parents on the phone and he was over the moon to be coming back to Melbourne.

Paul Chapman?! Pffffft

Yeah, I'd say Trav was always in there as "star-possibility," but he has never played like one, and never will.

If Bruce was to be a superstar, he would have already achieved it by now. He might have become one if it wasn't for that thug Guerra and his tackle, @$$hole.

Are saying this because you think it shattered Bruce's confidence?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
