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....

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
