Melbourne vs. Fremantle

Came home during the first quarter break, and to my surprise we were even with Freo.

It's now 15 minutes into the second quarter and we're trailing by 7 goals :rolleyes:

Yep, another week, another terrible performance. Thank god this season is nearly over.

P.S.- GET A NEW MIDFIELD COACH ASAP!!!

 

At least we're not faced with the difficult decision of whether we should win or lose...

all set for round 22....

Wow, we gave Freo their best 2nd quarter, ever. At least Brock is having a decent game with 16 touches. :)

Also I am shocked to say I was very impressed with Miller's physical attack on the game! Took a beautiful contested mark in the 1st quarter and kicked the goal...

 

We MUST change our tactics on point kick-ins.

A good starting point would be to copy the opposition's tactics each week.

We are falling down so badly each week in this fundamental test of basic coaching strategy.

When Wardy kicked that shocker to Brownie (who was pulled offthe ball while not in possession), the turnover goal changed the game.

jeez it had been a long season hasnt it...

But, one positive is that the off season is going to the most interesting in a long time...

Firstly we are going to get a new coach...people should note that if there is no announcement this week on the new coach it means sheedy has been chosen. there is no reason to wait till seasons end unless its sheedy bc he's still coaching an afl team.

secondly the trade period will be intersting. i think we will be involved.

the delistings over the preseason will be fascinating. will we do a cleanout?

then the draft will be great, especially if we lose round 22.

all i can say, is that robbo should be put out to pasture for round 22. then we will have such a shite team fielded that carlton will have no win bc it will be too obvious if they lose


why the ### did we bring in cameron bruce when he is soo underdone!!! should have just played for sandy

Not so, Hardwick and Bailey are assistants at clubs who will be playing finals........

i heard that David neitz is injuried, god i cant wait for the season to finish up <_< .. this is much worser than 2003.. :mellow:

Worser?? What is this, a sheltered workshop?? Please tell me you didn't mean that.

Well i said neitz or robbo would end up doing there knee worse than what it has been if we continue to play them, Jamar tapped the ball to freo 90% of the time today, ward kickin in was the DUMBEST idea ever, felt sorry for bruce made to follow tarant who has a big tank after missing what 4 weeks?

What a dumb idea.

How do you know it's Paul's fault? Do you know something we don't?

Our midfield performance this season hasn't done him any favours.

Daniher wasn't to blame for our injuries, but he still suffered when we lost form.

I would think that both Paul Williams and our fitness coach won't be at Melbourne next year.

Nar just putting 2 and 2 togethor.

Our ability to get a clearance this year has been woeful. Our midfield pressure is non existent. Who should take the blame for that?

Whoever's job it is to make sure they are applying pressure and winning clearences (is any of it their own responsibility?)

It may well have something to do with Williams but it also might not. You don't know without spending any time in the coaches box. It annoys me when people want to sack everybody in sight when in reality, we've got no idea who is responsible for what.

Fair call.

I was in a grumpy mood, after another crap display.

I'd still get a new midfield coach.

... we've got no idea who is responsible for what.

That would be a problem with the coaching, too, yes?

Ok, I for one don't have confidence in Williams - but that's because I really, really want Viney to come back and take over the midfield.

Whatever people's opinions on Williams, can we agree that we'd be happier with Viney?

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
