Not much startling wil happen til round 7...they've said that !!
-
...... probably spending the arvo over in the Royal !!!

ahh oh wise one ..yo have spotted our flaw !! we're static.. unbeleivably so I feel. Behind the goals you would have noticed that both ends of our ( what passes for a team ) dont move !! they don tlead.. they dont present.. they dont second guess where the play is going and so set up a link move. No when they do decide to move..after a cuppa nd some scones it seems they all amble off holding hands !! They are that close that any handball is counterproductive or any kick a furphy ! You see they have to point fingers...as they have all been struck down mute !!

Problems At Melbourne FC- not just the playing team!

says it all huh Ewok !! If you start with even the small things..and get them right..the rest follows..its not that hard to understand -
I tend to favour this method. If that measn some stalwarts..( but bad listeners) o to tthe Zebbies for the remainder of their contracts..so be it!! Why wait til end of year..or next season.. As I put it once before..the players are either with him, or agin him !! the latter can go that way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Better to play and better the willing, than persevere with the belligerent, and then top us as time and opportunity presents. make no miistake...were already in season 09 !!

Actually the best analogy I can make.. is I expect higher standards of behaviour and effort from my own kids than I do of others.. Maybe its just me..whilst I wil forgive those I love..I also seem to expect the most from them..Simply because I care!! -
actually.. it stands to reason that some would. Thats actually somethig we need to get much better at. making the hard call. if someone hasnt come on..or is nt lookig liek they will ..cull them..straight away.. get new ones in.. and yo keep doing this til the general quality rises. its not a quick process . Thats just how it is. We have , as a club , held on to players at all levels far too long.

Well heres the thing... we all grumble that the club accepted mediocrity as its guise for far too long. We expect it to pick up its act. Well I ALSO expect it to run like a decent bloody business..FFS if it cant get littel things right how hard will it be to get the big ones. Its an attitude . To make mistakes is one thing. Not to rectify or offer help with them is another. So..is it that because Im a member..a supporter..i just close my eyes and acccept what ever crap comes my way? F that !!.No way. Just because you love something.. a child..a club whatever doesnt mean you ignore its foibles. Or they just go on forever....and that has pretty well described the lat 40 off years of this club. Hopefully the newer regime will have a totally different outlook. Invariably as it takes a lot longer to actualy change teh big things that they can make a start onthe smaller ones. Thats where clever organisations start...gettting the little things right...builds a foundation for everything else. It the builds into an ethic.. For those incapable of reading.. Mr Moose did talk to the club initially...and got fobbed off !! -

To be quite frank Id cancel my club order..ask for money back and buy one from the shops. Club or not.. You ought not be treated like that. Just part of the 'commercial' lesson the club needs to learn.. Dont be incompetent !! -

The MFC could have made an application to the MCC ( Melbourne City Council ) for parking at the G on that day. Its about as hard as that.. Too much huh ?? -
http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/not-...6850706999.html We need patience folks.. Rome wasnt built in a day... Hmm maybe ought not mention Romans and Christ in same breath!! lol All wil be revealed...I suppose...maybe.....eventually. :D
-
I agree...must feel like the loneliest place on the ground that sqaure when all ya mates are playing a game called "statues ".. Makes it very easy for forward pressure by the other team...Back or front...no one runs.. Those new Reebok boots sure must have long stops !!
-
Meeson has inches on White ..Jeff NEEDS to jump a bit higher !! lol. id like to see a bit more meat on him ( Meeson ) ...he's only in his early 20's. Iwill watch more of him before really makig my mind up whterh he wil be better rucking per se..or as a KPP pitch hitting as #2 More than a few Scorps found him a handful to hang on to today.. but agree AFL is a different pond
-
Demonland...can you pin the original notice ( Media release from Gardner) up as a sticky !! I think many might find it handy to use as rebuttal to all the crap we get kicked our way !!
-
Rucked half the day...did ok I thought..easily won most of his hitouts....must be another Meeson !! lol. A lot of talls play as outside.. bit big to get in and under.. White does same

because.... why ?? too inept to arrange some ?? Its a valid beef I think.. Often called attantion to detail. Seems counter productive...oh please pleae come.. but hey we cant be bothered helping you ?? -
The zone-pack can work very well..but you need a group of players...well drilled ..and with absolute faith to carry it out. We didnt quite have that on teh day !!
-
seen him play ?? too soft upstairs to be a good ruckman....what do you allude to ??
-
well.. not really...lol..as some really didnt register much.. But il mention those that impacted..one way or the other..I may miss a couple.. but that only means i didnt see much of them. Benny.. was in amongst it early.. definitely providing a target and good cover to others . Like it seems everyone.. he got to have abit of a run around contributing quite well.. til he exited the game Rivers... seems pumped.. ran it out well.. linked well.. defended with vigour.. is on his game..and a very niggled bloke at times..lol.. Id be personally very surprised if he didnt start in R & B at teh cattery Aussie.. he's a goer.. I think in some ways he adjusting still toa game less about pure skill and mor eabout now, now , now. but he's getting there.. has very nice body balance..and that inherent intuition we come to admire in the inddigenous . i thin a few of his family or mates wer ethere today which was great !! Meeson.. I thought he did Ok today.. He strikes me as possibly a 2nd ruck. maybe more time and mentoring migh timprove his effect but he taps way better than jamar. Jamar.. a pretty fair game today.. bt he does this at this level and then gets alittel out of sorts and lacks competitveness at AFL... not sure what yo do with Russian.. Good pair of hands though and he does thin ok when linking.. I summise its the pace of AFL that catches him a little. Ooze.. good..not brilliant.. a little selfish and blazais !! probably in top half of the team today...he should have shone though !! Wheels.. a bit of this..a bit of that. I dont hink he's really 100% yet. played well in bursts ..a nice goalwith a bit of polish too ..but concernsme he gives so many yards at times to his man. I know Wheels likes to play off of them a bit.. but you cant afford to at AFL level.. you can get away with murder at VFL..he did today !! Thats my view..others may have seen another 79 running around..thats Ok..lol Martin.. didnt really notice him much at all..make of that what you will. Juice.. Some good leading.. and marking.. some butter fingers too. I think he's better in red and blue, but for the moment he needs to learn more hunting and gathering. He does do the extra things. I thought he did Ok today wiothout being brilliant.. again to gt up to tthe r and b guernsey you need t be brilliant at this level for mine Valenti.. good.. I like him.. has a lot of footy nouse..concerns me he may get sat on!! lol But he does gt the ball..and the ball does get him...did today as well. CJ. ? I had to actually look for him..say it all really.. he's not ready yet to reclaim any Demon game Warnock... looks ok at this level.. only ok.. some good spoils.. . This is only 3rd time Ive sem him at TBO.. he was better today. he tries...just not sure if he wil make it. Decisions better today than previous...still much to learn SPUD.. didnt notice much and last Maric.. id have paid entry to watch him today.. He has something... footy smarts.. He was outsized often today..and for the most beat them all. Is quite clever with his body.. and when he gets stronger this WILL be something.!! Some good goals.. he really knows where those sticks are.and really liked his 3rd quarter doubletap mark.. very slick. He played it that way..wasnt luck. Still a little way off AFL debut i fell.. let him find his feet a bit more..gain some real confidece before upping the ante. Sometimes you see some ability watching players.. today I saw a "player" in the making.. a bit rough.. a bit raw..but a gem!!
-
who formed that 'best' list. ? Adem was very pedestrian.. Liddell's effort easily eclipsed Oozes
-
Nupp...Wheels is not there yet !!
-
I thought valenti was fast in crowds...if that makes any sense.. That or he knows where to be!! which gives him a bit of space very quickly..possibly an illusion Fan..just what I see
-
newsflash....we dot really have a backline... maybe a back dot..certainly not a line !!
-
Wheels did a few things today...but looks a bit underdone..and was giving a bit too much licence to his man when defending... just my observation .

I'm tipping Melbourne to beat geelong
