The Yarra

Posts like this [censored] me off. If you're Melbourne, you're Melbourne. The club is bigger than any individual. Anyhow, I think Laidley is of a similar vein to Neeld from the outside looking in. Doesn't seem highly personable and quite old fashioned. Having Concluded both Neeld (Old fashioned, [censored] the players) & Bailey (Soft on the players, highly attacking) haven't worked, I think we find the middle man in Chocco Williams.

Agree with you. I'm not overly keen to see Tagger, Tynan & Barry play AFL. I think draft bio's and such things are giving Demonlanders false hope - Dean Kent being a prime example. Shows flashes but requires much more development at VFL level before he'll make the cut.

IF we had Spencer's effort, desire and strength with Gawn's mobility & skill we'd have the next Dean Cox on our hands!

I'd rather give Davis a go based on some decent Casey form than persist with Dunn who's has proven he'll only ever dish up mediocrity. I think Clisby is an example that you don't have to star at VFL level to play a role in the Seniors.

Toumpas returned similar results fwiw.

Cannot begin to describe the liability of Trengove. Cannot get a clear kick, almost certainly a turnover when he has the ball. How can a player regress so far. I'm actually distressed about it!

Whinge whinge whinge f'KIn whinge. You are like a woman. They're athletes I'm sure they'll cope.

He's been back for 13 weeks. No excuses. If he's not right, he shouldnt be playing. It's literally painful watching him run.

Won't be sub, not named among interchange.

Don't understand this at all. Wines has played 3 or 4 good games - which was always going to be the case with his mature body. Giving up early picks for players is a gutless move, the type of strategic move that left Freo irrelevant for years. I'm confident the club will back the recruiters to get us a gem with pick 2.

No Tapscott or Taggert this week. Saw the two today. Only one change this week I believe.

Viney & Tapscott in defence for Kent & Nicho.

Can no one feed this troll.

How can we get Trengove running freely, how can we get Sylvia's arousal levels up each and every game, how can we get Tapscott finding the footy, how can we get Howe impacting the game more frequently, how can we get Toumpas some space with the ball, how can we get Strauss running off half back through the corridor and delivering forward, how can we get Blease the footy 10 more times a game. The MFC has untapped potential.

Told by a club official Clark to train with the main group this week and could play at Casey in two weeks. Game after is GWS so who knows.

Matthew Jones was very clean.

Agree - Gee Col is frustrating. Some of his efforts early in the last were fantastic but far to many flat spots.

Sylvia to Stevie J anyone?

I cannot believe what I've just seen from Nicholson.

I understand that. I was dissapointed. The point I'm making though is that someone has to be accountable. It was never going to be Jones or Sylvia who were much better than Rodan around the ground.

I get the feeling Rodan was brought in for his stoppage work. Against the Swans last week he stood 80% of centre bounces and for memory didn't get a single clearance. Someone has to be held accountable.

I don't like it. He's not going to be a savior and like Watts and Sylvia before him, expecting to much of a young lad will hinder his progression mentally. Just as we are now doing Toumpas now, I can see the fans giving JH a kicking when he has a flat patch. I just want to see this kid come in without to much media driven expectation.

Ha ha you're funny. Simply no. Col' best games namely Hawthorn 09(?) is the best game I've seen from a Melbourne player since before Bailey's time at least.
