What's Barass done wrong?

Barassi has forgotten where he came from!!!!!

 
Whatever view one might have of a player it's a disgrace and an indictment on Wikipedia that it allows such nonsense as this on its pages -

"By the end of his career, Ward was best known for his inability to pick up an opponent or get his hands on the ball, and when he did get his hands on the ball he frequently coughed it up to the opposition, often resulting in goals. It is believed that his inability to play football in his last season played a large part in the sacking of coach Neil Daniher who was reluctant to drop him from the team."

That's the most factual thing I've ever read on Wikipedia.

Is "clanger" on Wikipedia? If so is there a photo of Wardy?


Forgot to put in Tom Flower

TF Might of stuggled with a footy in the 70's but is a sensational Golfer now

Plays of about 2

How about "Glen Molloy" . Think that was his name, played mid 90,s

Adrian Campbell - We got him from The Dog's, was useless

GARLAND. Is right up there with the best. he must be moved on ASAP if Bails is serious.

 

Some suggestion today that CJ is the worst player to play for Melbourne. Not true. Here are some candidates:

Michael Young

Michael Byrne (before traded to Hawthorn)

Glenn McLean (traded to the fiflth)

Roger Ellingworth

James Frawley (His cousins could play better)

Alistair Nicholson

Tony Campbell

Ricky Jackson

Mark Jackson

Luke Molan (although to be fair he never played a senior game)

Stan Alves (because he slags on us at every opportunity because he didnt get the captaincy)

Diamond Jim Tilbrook (overpaid and over-rated)

Craig Turley

Nick Pesch

Luke Williams

Michael Seddon

[/quote

Stan Alves definitely one of our BETTER players. Not a logical reason to rate him poorly because of the reason given. I reckon Ricky Jackson was very good. Gave us plenty of life on the forward line. Nicko played well enough to be not on this list. Of the others I would agree they were not good players.

Wikipedia is just bigfooty for the international market, absolutely anyone can make the posts and it's for that reason why I ignore it.

Dont agree with Hotel

Jamie Shanahan. End Thread.

I saw Shanners destroy Lockett in a final. Lockett got 2 of the most tiggie touch frees that night and kicked his ton. Never forget the amount of Melbourne fans partying in the middle of the "G" that night. Think it was 2nd or 3rd quarter. Never forget that sight. One of my greatest memories.

Hey all.

Long time reader first time poster!

Had to add....... Brian Stynes, brother of Jim.

1 memorable game. I'm still stiching my sides up.

I believe that Jim demanded he get a game as part of his contract.


Name a player you were better than who played for the Melbourne Football Club.

Im tipping most here who have picked off ex-players have never had a mouthguard their whole adolescent lives.

Whoever was the muppet that threw Stuart Spencers name into this cesspit of a thread, should be banned.

Jamie Shanahan. End Thread.

I'll take Jamie Shanahan over Nathan Carroll any day.

Andy Goodwin and Simon Godfrey are worst for mine. Both tried hard, but were awful.

:lol: That the sort of rubbish you would get on this site.

Hahah.

Franky, I think we can accept that 99% of the posters here have not played footy at the highest level. It doesn't mean that we can't have an opinion on those that have. I'm getting tired of the whole "what have you done?" argument that permeates throughout this site. Its a discussion board.

However, I do agree with you about Stuart Spencer. Unfortunately, if everyone was banned for making stupid comments, the only posters remaining would be the moderators and Yze_Magic.

............and FWIW, Simon Eishold is the single worst player in the history of the club since its inception.

Shut the gate.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
