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....

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
