    Don’t Geelong need a ruck

    As a Melbourne supporter I would hope that trip is a tax deduction

    I do, but it’s a red card for you for the Stevie G flashback

    It hasn’t been a great week Binmans PA and now you bring up Stevie G slipping over……..thanks

    Let’s be honest we are a soft target. Right now we deserve the criticism that is coming our way. We are also a very “nice club” that doesn’t like to rock the boat which also makes us an easy target. I would like for us to as a club openly stand up for ourselves and fly the flag a bit more than we do whether it be umpiring, tribunal decisions, facility funding. But honestly supporters getting precious or offended by people in the media criticising our Demons or Gary Lyon not sticking up for the club instead of calling them out is symptomatic of our soft underbelly. Honestly who gives a [censored] about the outside noise. It’s up to is as a club to change the narrative.

    #5 Nick Watson Small Forward | 24/02/2005 | 170cm | 67kg Stats: 13 disposals, 6 marks, 1 goal Watson spent plenty of time camped one-out inside 50 and getting under the skin of just about every Tasmanian defender. The mercurial small showcased great power when leading and leaping at the ball, playing above his size in that sense but also getting creative at ground level. There, he drew free kicks and burnt opponents with his turn of speed before delivering punchy passes by foot. After putting a couple of set shots wide, his lone goal came in the second quarter.

    No or at least I would hope not.You win first discuss later. You pick your best team to win finals……we didn’t.

    Couldn’t care less about Port tbh, but at least they used their sub and weren’t ahead on the weekend with about a minute to go in the game.We have gone from premiers to being knocked out in straight sets 2 years in a row.we blew it on so many levels and whatever comes our way from the media is deserved…… we just need to grin and bear it.
  11. Dee Viney Intervention
    I’m sorry but why, we deserve every bit of heat that is coming our way. We blew it twice within the space of 8 days and have lost 4 finals at the MCG in 2 years.

    No surprise to me at all. Whether by instruction or they take it upon themselves to do it, the see ball get ball bomb ball into the forwardline is not an effective kick / stat. Love their ball winning ability which is elite but they are poor by foot. In front of goals this year Gawny has had more misses (Mrs) than Hugh Hefner. The only surprise to me is that Ed Langdon was not up there as well.

    Agree, Grundy should have been picked ahead of Schache. Goodwins post game press conference was bizarre. Schache picked for insurance for Max. Left TMac on in last 1/4 because they wanted a big body out there. Brodie Grundy says hello to both and would have solved both those issues. Finally what type of message does this send to Josh Schache, an unused sub. How many times was a sub not used at all this year. Poor management and decision making on all levels.

    Absolutely agree with everything in that article. The truth hurts and I hope it burns in the off season and pre season and channel all of that in a positive way…….change has to happen otherwise we are just making up the numbers. We are staying the same and others are catching and going past us.
  15. Dee Viney Intervention
    Partially agree but most of these players listed are midfielders. We need better ball users in the whole front half.

    Would love to be a fly on the wall for Grundy’s interview

    The only bandwagon I am on now is our AFLW team. Couldn’t care less about the teams left. After the goings on of the last week the AFL can get [censored]!!!!!!!!!
  18. Dee Viney Intervention
    Maybe…… Carlton players have very long fingers
  19. Dee Viney Intervention
    I was on board with you until your last point. Schache was sub and an unused one at that…………that is team selection right there. Not to mention our bizarre choice of and use of subs throughout the season.
  20. Dee Viney Intervention
    Absolutely agree with him but as captain he can go over to the umpires at an interval to discuss those “interesting free kicks” or non calls……..especially on his case. We are too nice a club. This is us though all learnings post game when it’s too late, why not do something about it during the course of a game.

    Don’t entirely disagree but Petty spent most of the year in the backline and Melksham a fair bit of time at Casey coming in when Fritsch got injured. Petty looked great there and Melksham a strong back half of the year but the both weren’t exactly first choice forwards. The fact is Goodwin never knew what our best forward line looked like all year.

    The Melbourne Blower-vacs it is then

    1/ New Forward Coach that has had some experience as a forwardline line player (not as a resting ruck) 2/ New midfield coach. Sorry Oooze loved you as a player (forward) but for a team with a generational ruckman and the talent at your disposal we don’t dominate clearance like we should and our connection with forwards is putrid. 3/ Recruit / draft for the front half of the ground. I want to balance our list up with some outside speed and silk. We have too Much inside and not enough outside. I do not want to see any defenders added to the list this year. Defence is not our problem this year or last year for that matter. 4/ Put some value on offence. Recognise that defensively we are strong, we are a good inside team but please put some value on offence and give ourselves the best chance to score, not play to protect your back line because quite frankly to me that is anti football. We looked good this year when we have an attacking focus and are capable of scoring big. 5/ Do not put all of our draft bounty into the one player, although he may be a great player, one player will not fix us.

    This Friday will be a real banana skin game. Carton have a fair bit of momentum going into the game while we have had a few hurdles to overcome. However, if we get over Carlton then the pressure dial goes onto the Lions to win at The Gabba. It could be good for the group to get away together having got the monkey off our back of winning a final at the MCG. We have the talent to do it, the big if is sorting out connection and forward half efficiency. There is still a pulse.

    I know what you mean. Supporting Melbourne is kind of like bondage. Deep down you know it’s going to hurt but in some sick kind of way you still love it and go back for more.
