These guys are supposed to be leaders?

Well they are leading Melbourne into oblivion. They have no heart, no desire or will to do what it takes to be a successful AFL footballers.

Bruce - Years of inconsistent crap

White - Had a few good years, but isnt hard enough - looks for cheap possesions

Yze - HACK HACK HACK

Miller - SUPERHACK

Carrol - Bogan stupid drunk idiot

Robertson - too concerned with a reality singing show to give a stuff about his football club.

Every game new kids play with these rubbish players they are contaminating a future generation of Melbourne players.

Draw a fkn line in the sand - no more accepted mediocrity - Get these hacks out of the side and dont let them back in.

Whats the point of playing them??? have they earned the right to live out the twighlight of their careers getting a game each week while producing rubbish?

No.. only 2 players on Melbournes list have earned the right to be the example for the next generation J-MAC and Neitz.

FK the rest of the pea hearts off. Johnstone was the start - these guys are next.

Couldn't agree more.....the strength that will come from this list is McLean, Bate, Dunn, Morton, Bartram etc...they should have traded at least 1 more last summer

Its a joke that Bruce wasnt traded

We could have grabbed another first round pick, but now we are stuck with this squib instead.

Just think, we could have Cyril Rioli.

Bruce is coming off a knee injury. I was one of 12.000 Melbourne supporters who attended. I sat one row back near the players race and Bruce was obviously one MFC rep who knew what he was doing and tried and has what it takes. He is a skinny prik, he has a motor, he made mistakes but I'm afraid mistakes were made in Biblical proportions from selection on. I was nailing Green for being disinterested in the first half but then he runs on, into 50 and slots a sublime goal as easy as you like. At that moment I realized (as I have since the classic comeback against Carlton many years back, that Green is being played out of position. He is every bit the player that Williams (Hawks) is in the same position. Robbo is keeping him out of the forward line and I am over Robbo.

PJ took that mark 55 metres out and he should have had a shot in the first quarter. Yze ran past, called for the ball, received it, and then kicked a wobbly shocker into the forward line.

that for me sums up the latter part of his career. I do not want to see him in a MFC jumper for the rest of the year.

If Yze gets another game for this football club, i lose ANY FAITH i have in Dean Bailey.

He is OLD, a HACK and a SQUIB. - he should be immediatly dumped from the list, promote a kid.. hes just a waste of space and oxygen at the club.

Miller is fkn useless... when will the club learn?, 5 years now hes done NOTHING - MOVE ON. DELIST DELIST DELIST.

White & Bruce should be on their last chances, and Carroll, well what can he do vs Franklin and a team that didnt give a stuff about pressuring the midfield delivery.

These blokes are contiminating our future... they carry the mediocrity disease and its very INFECTIOUS.

I agree on all, If green is to oplay he has to be played as a forward, from the square.

Miller is not a backman, simple.

Yze = bye

Bruce....... I love the guy but he seems out of it, but I'll give him a few weeks, still can't kick though

robbo, needs to do the simple things.

White, PJ showed him how to chase, tackle, get possessions and create things, pity pj is not that great a ruckman.

I'd add wheatley to this list, showed nothing yesterday and against decent opposition i think will be beaten every time.

Only 21 more crappy weeks to go. It's going to be a long season ladies and gentleman.

You know it's going to be a long season when you walk away from the tv at quarter time to see how your fantasy football team's going (I came back for the second half - but only to see if Jones, Green and Wheatley are worth keeping...

Posted

Green's a friggin forward... we might have been a little more respectable yesterday (i.e. 80 points not 100) if we'd damn well kicked straight. Green can bloody well kick a goal from 50 - he's useless on the wing.

I think Bruce is just underdone ATM. He will be ok in a few more weeks.

Unfortunately Yze may have to hang his boots up during the season to allow Aussie to get a spot on the list. The game has passed by the once magical ooze.

White will be on the list next year but he will play a support role rather than the main role.

Holland will go at the end of this season. Neitz should also consider finishing up - Newton needs to put on another 3 - 4 kegs.

We used to recruit to supplement these players now we draft to replace them.

We need a 196cm backman to pick up the monsters - maybe Martin can be developed.

Sadly to pick up the class players you need to HAVE 2 craap years in a row - for cash strapped clubs who cannot afford to throw money at recruiting that is a fact. I think we might need that guy from Fiji who they say could be the best no 1 pick ever - and lets face it we need a player who can put bums on seats at the G - PLUS OF COURSE ANOTHER EARLY PICK.

We have to have some years down to make up for the 3 consecutive years of bottom half of the top 8 (04-06). By no means should we aim for a crap year, but at least if it happens we will have some good young players.

By the way, between 2000 and 2006, did you know that we were the best performed club in terms of finals appearances (only didn't make it in 01 and 03). That's 5 out of 7 years. This was rivalled only by Essendon.

    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.
