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!

as much as i agree with the droppings of bode garland and weetra i reckon we axe the older players first. they are just getting into the swing of things (without much leadership i might add) - the older guys don't have that excuse.

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:

Sorry, but Weetra, Bode and especially Garland are not part of the future.

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!

Bruce did well on Brad Johnson, but it has got to the stage where I don't want him getting the ball. He coughs is up far too regularly for a senior player.

There is a spot for him in the side in a defensive role.

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.

7. Send Miller back to Sandringham,

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....

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
