I suppose December 2015 is close to last year.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Gator replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
What year did I start ? And what was my issue with him ? -

Does anyone know if he's related to recent former Board member Peter Spargo ? -

Poor bastard. The dolts on here will be critiquing his every disposal. -
Is this a serious question ? I assume not, but in case it is, the curse is the greatest bit of BS I've ever heard. But if you're a mentally fragile lightweight believe away.
-
Sook.
-
I blame Goodwin.

As usual, everything is relative. If I asked those questioning our depth to list the best 6-8 players outside the best 22 of other clubs I'll either have one or two clubs mentioned or there'll be crickets. Not many clubs have great depth and ours currently looks worse due to form. Our depth is fine compared to most other clubs. I'm a fan of Fritsch and Hannan, so wouldn't be averse to having both come in. Like others, I've questioned whether they can play together, but I suspect they can. That's why we have coaches. Let's make it work.

Clearly, I disagree with you and you're not someone to be taken seriously. Btw, it's shot "at" goal. Not shot on goal.
-
Your post bears scrutiny too. Firstly, their best players have played over 150 games. Our best players haven't played 100. That is a huge difference between the teams. Secondly, our game plan isn't working. Too many players are sucked into the contest and we're getting killed on the outside. And when we do win it we're not spreading hard enough. We need to fix some fixable things. When we do we'll make significant progress. If we don't we'll still beat ordinary teams, but be hurt by the better ones.

I can't be bothered reading page after page of misery, so stopped after page 3. The negatives are obvious, so I'll make one point on the positives. I've read that Weideman was OK. He was far better than OK. He was my main positive for the night. He will make it. I wasn't sure he would, but I am now. For me that's huge.
-
If their bottom six played last night for us they'd be getting the same criticism. It is FAR easier to play well in a very good team.

Brendan McCartney - Moved to the bench
Gator replied to Watts the matter's topic in Melbourne Demons
The following is what he said, "Yes, that is his Matchday role, he is never in the box, what a [censored] joke and the usual nuff nuffs on here run with it". Do you think there's a chance this wouldn't have become such an issue if he didn't refer to others, who were actually correct about McCartney being in the box, as "nuff nuffs" ? Just maybe ? If not, change your username. -
Brendan McCartney - Moved to the bench
Gator replied to Watts the matter's topic in Melbourne Demons
Here I was thinking this chap might just show some dignity and admit he got it wrong. After-all, he said McCartney is NEVER in the coaches box. Unfortunately, and I shouldn't be surprised, he's not man enough. -
I never suggested he had any influence in the win. I simply shared with you that he played in our best win of the season. You weren't aware of that even though you now make out you knew, hence the tackle comment. I'm happy to educate you. Be thankful.
-
No, you didn't realise until I told you. Don't pretend you did. PS Pedersen is not the safer play.
-
We all want to win. You do realise that Weideman played in our best win last year ?
-
Good changes, although I like Fritsch. Rapt with the Weideman decision. Pedersen is a dud key forward at AFL level, which has been proven time and time again.
-
Did they play for Cssey ? You may need to read my post again.
-
Not quite. Does anyone want to list Casey's midfield today ?
-
Cssey's on-ball brigade make a no name on-ball brigade sound like rockstars. Which is why equating their performance with Melbourne's idiotic. But I knew it wouldn't stop some.
-
Unlike you, friend, some of us can see nuance. I don't like some of Goodwin's selections this year, a lack of man on man game style (zones are fine, but it's too loose), or his tagging options (Jones on Mitchell), but it doesn't necessarily mean I don't see the bigger picture. Goody has plenty of attributes and runs on the board. We're lucky to have him. All you see are W's and L's (and I don't mean your username). Insightful stuff. And before you go off your nana (in typical fashion), if you don't like my responses don't unnecessarily seek me out.
-
Bugg has been selected as a defensive forward. His pressure is hopeless.
-
You're being kind. I said he should be dropped after his pox 4 goal game, but supporters just got excited by 4 soft goals. Needless, to say, you don't hear much from them now.
-
Yep, Clint summed it up. Fritsch is a 21 year old who already shows courage in the air. Jack runs around with the intensity of an indoor cat and has virtually no impact on the game.
