Changes which need to be made for next week.

Recommended Posts

1. Neitz to be in a forward pocket

2. Robertson and Neitz to lead from goal square, Tony Lockett style 30m out shots at goal.

3. More penetrating kicks into 50 not on the 50.

4. Replace Davey with Valenti

5. Moloney into Mid field.

6. No long Kicks to one on ones. We dont have anyone strong enough to take a strong grab 1-1 unless going to Neitz in goalsquare.

7. Send Miller back to Sandringham,

8. Bring back Whelan, Rivers.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Far too considerate! I think there is a Sandringham in the UK. He would struggle there too!

It's a football; kick it;

Wattching Morton is one of the few things that please me, at the moment. He is no champion yet, but, he just might be!

Here is what annoys me the most. Seems to happen with whoever we play.

When we rebound from our D50... We're slow, indecisive and can only ever seem to find stationary 1on1s or leads where their opponent is still able to spoil.

When other team rebounds, they go through the middle, their leads seem to be 5 meters in front of our player or there is string of unmanned players across the entire field. :angry:

Are you kidding me. I thought he played a descant game on B.Johnson today. in the first half he kept he pretty quiet.

drop weetra, buckley, bode, garland...not ready for AFL footy yet...

That's right, lets drop our future now so we can have less pain next week. But we can have an extended envelope of pain over the next few years by bringing on the kids via the drip feed. :blink:

Spot on. And had enough of players streaming from the backline only to stop and handpass to a stationary target, stuff the handpass and turn it over for an opposition goal. Surely it can't be instinctual to stop and handpass when you're clear and running out of defence.

Yes 'Addam Magic" Bruce kept the dangerous Johnson very quiet and yet Yze Magic with his intense hatred for Cam wants him to be the first to go! THANK GOD HE IS NOT A SELECTOR! He would have to be the greatest knocker of our Melbourne team.

What absolute [censored] about Bruce. Did you go to the game? You are paranoid mate. GO and barrack for someone else. You have NO LOYALTY at all. King KNOCKER!

More CAC blunders.

Weetra - Pick 62 in 2006. Massive failure! :rolleyes:

Bode - Off the rookie list. What was CAC thinking at that time! :blink:

Garland - He's only played four games in sides that have been comprehensively flogged. :o

CAC deserves to fairly analysed and assessed. But FFS do it on the picks that count with a fair consideration of the facts.

Miller was far from our worst last week - I thought he had a dip which could not be said for the majority who took the field - Junoir deserved much more..

By playing Cameron Bruce so deep, you lose a good player.... although was not sure he was fully fit!!

weetra must be put back to sandy - he looks like he is lost out there.. lindsay gilbee was the most effective player in the first half and weetra touched it once i think... also looked to be a little slow

garland - two efforts on the outer wing were terrible.. not attacking the footy and not marking it in front of the eyes.. once might be understandable but twice in a minute, well... really struggled.......

the problem is that the leadership group and senior players are also playing so poorly and really is there anything to be gained in dropping the youngsters....

would dropping a robbo have a bigger impact...

on saturday he was getting me so infuriated with his selfishness!! i am at a loss of words to describe his footy at the moment.. going for the spectacular when even the easy is made to look hard.. i would be much be happier if he chased, presented harder, shephered and acted like a leader of the team..

we do not do the unselfish things good clubs do.... on saturday the number of times we switched the ball but then we had no-one to kick to.. no-one was prepared to run hard to make space and to make a lead....

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
