Who is going backwards ? (or standing still)

I'm most concerned about Windsor and JvR.

I think Salem actually had a good block of form but dropped away the last couple of weeks.

2nd and 3rd year blues respectively.

They will get back to their best and we know they can play.

It’s JVR’s fourth year in the system, surely we can’t just put basic dropped chest marks down to ‘3rd year blues’

It’s clearly a loss of confidence.

A player doesn’t just lose his talent.

Excluding first year players who are those that have improved this year?

Turner, Langdon, Bowey, Pickett and maybe Chandler

That is on each and every player that calls themselves a professional. McDonald has been great but is out of the team presumably because he is seen as not being long term

Look at Neale, Bont, Pendlebury and Sidebottom. Absolute pros.

Our leaders (Max excluded) are bordering on fraudulent. And maybe worse is that they are all bad in the same area - disposals and ball use.

You can see the club has tried to improve players with ball use including with Lindsay and Langford but it doesn't help players being played out of position like Windsor - who is clearly not a backman. Or Petty who is not a forward.

What has happened to Rivers, Fritsch, Petty, Lever, May, Salem, Van Rooyen, Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup?

That's why we are in a hole. And the coaching staff IMO are mostly responsible but at some point the players need to take stock in their own performances. 2 years of crud

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
