  1. If he said that he should quit. If he doesn't recognize that the structures, game plan and selection lost it today, with some big help from the umpires, then he is not an AFL standard Coach.
  2. But ignore his form and look at his abilities. I think he had 9 tackles yesterday. We had no one applying F50 pressure, that is why they ran out easily and scored on the rebound nearly every single time. Do you think he wouldn't have got one goal at least? Remind me what we lost by today.
  3. Posted before today's game by me. "Correct, we are Melbourne, who lose games they should win." Can I nominate this for Demonland post of the year?

  5. Jack Trengove 13 8 21 8 0 3 2 4 0 0 92 Fair game.
  6. I thought he was poor again.
  7. He actually turned the ball over with nearly every possession. He had the chance to ice the game from 30, late in the last quarter and missed everything. Oob on the full and another turnover. I thought he was terrible and a mile off the seniors. Yes I know he is coming back from injury, but if that is his disposal, goodnight.

    That would be a 50.

    If it was last week, the umpires would have reported our whole team behind the mark, for bringing the game into disrepute.
  10. If Tom Mac plays, we have again gone in without a crumber. Tigers have 5 of them in the F50 and we have none. Now who is playing the better style of footy.

    Looks like Gaff is no chance then.

    No, they are permitted one on the mark and the rest of the team can do what they like behind him.

    Well I would cop Etihad instead of Darwin. We have to put winning games first and money will follow. This game just stuffs us up and it is for more than 1 week.
  14. Extremely strange as they saw what it did to us last week. I wonder if TMac is pulling out and they will play Spargo.
  15. Neither could Ringo, but he was still the drummer for the greatest band in the world. Weid is developing and most good players don't necessarily rip the VFL apart, as it is played somewhat differently and with less skill in passing the ball etc. I think Weid will be the regular 3rd key forward next year.
  16. Or just open your eyes. I recall a couple of years ago many thought Oscar hopeless. Today he is our main key back.
  17. Neither would I. Weid is on target to be a good player for us.

    Yeah superb bump, ran past the ball and with force bumped a bloke not expecting it and bruised his lung, which saw him coughing up blood. Extremely courageous act. Lucky not to connect with TMac's head, or it would have been weeks, even though it was not deemed worthy of a free kick to us, as was no other incident in our F50 the whole night, even though the ball was in our F50 twice the time of Port, who got multiple frees, 50's and suspect marks and goals. Sorry for the umpire rant I am still angry at them.

    Pies will not lose De Goey IMO. Pies will lose players to keep him and he will forego some cash, but IMO will not leave. He will sign a 2 year deal at less cash, say $800k per year, or a longer term one, if he is happy to forego the future offers that may come. Pies will try and pension Wells off and other players can be moved on as well. Hearing rumours about Moore going as well, but I think he will only go if they get another key forward. Hello Tom, even though the Tigers appear to be the leaders in his chase.

    When the ball comes into the F50 where are our smaller forwards placed and what are they doing? We don't need the big mark from Jesse or TMac to get all of our goals. Look at the 3 last quarter goals of Port for example, Sam Grey, Thomas and a Westhoff 50. We need the occasional chip kick into the F50 to a player making position, like other clubs do to us. Our smaller forwards seem to drift in and out of the game, while for example the Tigers small forwards stay involved, even without the ball, by performing the 1%'s, chase, tackle, knock on, make position, take your man away from the contest ( open up space) etc. To me our game plan going into the F50 (against good sides), combined with suspect skill under pressure and a lack of pace, is what is letting us down against the better sides.

    Looks like Greg has made better use of bananas than Elvis did, with his fried banana sandwiches.
  22. My question was a simple "Who do you see as our developing mids and half backs with pace and good disposal skills? Your answer above has nothing to do with my question. Probably no point in asking you any more then.

    Now we are talking, pardon the pun.
