id love to know why brayshaw has no muscle definition? he's bulked up and I'm sure he's much stronger than when he was drafted (well of course) but he hasn't added any muscle tone really. At least, he doesn't have much. And he doesn't seem to have great conditioning

huh? The only way Oliver haters will not be seen as reactionary will be if they still want him out of the team. So do they? or did he fix all of his fundamentals in 2 weeks? laughing stock you lot. If they are mute then it's proof of this.

How? I never went off him... not sure if you know what ironic means

The following users have been a bit quiet since saying that Oliver needed to be dropped and has been a liability? Where are you guys now? Typical reactionary posters. Players don't improve their skills/decision making in a fortnight so why not drop him now? elegt spc deetox fanatique demon myfavouritemartian Rodney grinder demon dude cards13 coq au vin layzie deespicable the jackson 6 deezone

brayshaw and Lockhart to go

Today showed how far off being a good coach he is. I'd love a please explain as to why Weideman wasn't in the team when he clearly makes us better.

Oliver has got to be dropped. His ball use is terrible. Just kidding, but those suggesting Oliver should've been dropped please ban yourselves from match committee selection discussion for a few weeks.

Bump Whoever was calling for Oliver to be dropped, please kindly remove yourself from demonland and assess how much you understand football and whether you should really be commenting on melbourne and our players. The most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time!!

Kicked some opportunistic goals but didn't cover the ground all that well if you ask me

whose hibbert? jk, but yeah not really lol

whilst Goodwin is there, these changes are like rearranging the titanic's deck chairs

ed Langdon is playing well this season. we knew what we were getting. He brings speed to our team and offers that outlet. without him, we'd be 18th

you can't teach footy smarts at the end of the day

People have short memories. The last time we drafted for foot skills we got Watts, Strauss, Blease and Maric etc. It shows that picking guys with good skills means nothing.

that's what I've been saying for ages. but Goodwin has no clue.

why on earth did we draft sparrow? another inside mid with average skills. we need to trade him out.

petracca is not a champion! Oliver is far ahead of petracca. how many top 3/top 5 finishes in our best and fairest has petracca had? any? he hasn't strung together an elite season yet like Oliver has. Oliver has been AA for God's sake.

very reactionary. Oliver is still arguably our best player. it's just because he had a few terrible mistakes by foot. He is still elite and we need his leg speed and power.

Why hasn't May been trialled up forward yet? what's the worst that can happen?When McDonald has been playing like his younger brother Oscar, it makes perfect sense to trial him up forward.

We've got a lot more issues than Fritsch. end thread.

line up for hours? No idea what you've been lining up to mate lol

so I waited 20 years for mcc, I finally got in and paid my $900. do you think mcc members will get refunded? what a waste of money

didn't watch it. wake me up when the real season starts. Surely you've learnt by now and especially from last season that Melb fans always get ahead of themselves. we came 17th.

I was also at the game. - Fritsch was probably melbourne's best despite missing some gettable goals. I don't care how depleted we were last season, Goodwin's decision to play him in the backline was a major reason why I question Goodwin's understanding of the game. - Brayshaw was mostly unsighted in the first half so I would've liked to see him influence the game more despite him not playing in the middle. - Melksham looked good. - Marty Hore did one really courageous ground ball get that made me immediately want him in the round 1 side. - Lockhart needs to play round 1. He could really become a good player. - I'm not really a bedford fan. Missed some easy opportunities. - Pickett did some nice things but I haven't really seen much mongrel in him like was advertised. i'm sure he'll come out of his shell but Spargo is the better player at the moment. - James Jordon tackles a lot harder than I thought he did. Much more than an outside mid. - Bradtke is probably worse than Brendan Van Sheik. - Oscar McDonald is still oscar McDonald regardless how long you lock him in the weights room. He's just reactionary to his opponents in all contests. He needs to back himself more. - I was the most pleased with Tom Sparrow. He has a go. His kicking isn't great but he is just a well rounded player that has Brayshaw tendencies. Could have a big year if given opportunity.

no idea why u think things would change. should've been cut 3 seasons ago
