Yeah drop Buckley, farkin great youth policy that is... :rolleyes:

Posted

Bucks is an emergency. I've heard a whisper that a player listed in the starting 18 might not come up. So my guess is Bucks will still play.

Posted

No Bode, no Buckley...

I'm all for making sure the kids aren't doing it on their own, but jeeeeeeezus....

As a club we really only have ourselves to blame. And the thing is that if we want Sheedy, we can't get him NOW to take over.

Posted
Why would you elevate bode if your not going to play him?

Sounds like some more money wasting to me.

I'm sure he'll get his chance, still another 4 rounds to go, but fark me just wake me up when this season ends! Excuse the pun, but it's a living hell! No backup ruck either, wtf are the selection panel on!?

Madness i noticed that you called the swans the scones.

Would you or somebody else be able to put a list up of all the teams eg filth for collingwood

Thanks. :)

y the fark dont they play the kidz.

even if the arent as big contributers than holland, ward, brown and co., they should not be ahead of buckley, dunn, garland, bode.

playing young players in the firsts fast-tracks their development. our season is over and riley wont take advantage. he is shite

Didnt you know, we are employing a youth policy...

Oh wait, that would mean youth would actually need to be playing... <_<

As i tried to explain the team to my daughter I realised I was getting more and more upset.

There is absolutely no logic to what they are doing.

One ruckman. And the one ruckman they don't need to practice any further with this year. Dumb.

Robbo at CHF. Its never worked and it never will. Dumb.

Don't play the kids. Dumb.

Newton starting on the bench. Yeah that makes sense. Dumb.

The first thing Sheedy will do will sack everyone involved in these selections.

Connolly would probably promote them.

How long till the cricket season?

Carna bloods for the rest of this season.

20 20 world cup in September

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy, completely forgot about that one! :rolleyes:

Looking forward to some more Haydos magic (if he makes the team that is)

Posted

same bloody selectors for the 20-20 world cup

refuse to pick on form, instead going for 'reputation'.

David Hussey should almost be the first selection and doesn't even make the team.

Posted

Brown, Ward, Holland, Godfrey, Carroll, Ferguson and Pickett.

Would any of these guys get a game right now for any other team?

I think not.

This is the worst Melbourne forward line I have ever seen, Neitz is virtually useless (injuries) and Robo is just as bad (probably injuries as well), so we have to rely on a kid who's played 4 games....ffs, no wonder we're 2nd last. If we're goint to suck then we might as well get some game time into some of our kids, instead of giving games to has beens who sould be delisted at the end of the year.

We are top heavy in our back half and will get run off our feet.

Poor selection again..... Bode should off got a game

Very harsh on Carroll, but otherwise, spot on.

Not a clue what Riley and his men are doing. Surely we already know what these players give us, so why are we flogging a dead horse?

Posted

if were developing for next year then we would be playing all our youngsters.

reality is, the only real unestablished youngsters in the team are newton and Frawley!

other young players like bate, moloney, davey, bell, mclean and jones are in our best 18 players anyway so playing them is a given.

if riley was serious about developing our list as he claims, then he would be playing buckley, dunn, garland, CJ, PJ and even bode.

until these players are in the seniors, then riley is not putting the MFC club first. instead he is putting himself first by giving ward and brown games.

HE IS SELFISH!

Robbo at CHF. Its never worked and it never will. Dumb.

Doesn't matter where they're listed in the paper. Doubt Robbo will play too far out, given that he seems unfit.

I guess with Carroll he is the best we have to play FB.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
