Ive got my bar set at 1250....good for leaning on and ideal for a stool. !!! is that ok ? lol

I think the solution is already at hand. You get the wobbles and fluff , youre game getting shakey then ifs a gig in the magoos to sort it out and get your mojo back.

I have no problem whatsoever if a player gets a spray. Invariaby theyve earnt it. They can shove rockets up their bums and strap jets to their arms...make them wlk on coals for all i really care. Think though.. what transpired. .. Was Morton being picked on.. ? No.. He was tasked with a job, that was/is to folow instructions, the coach's instructions. You dont dothis, you will cop it. He obviously failed to do this and it would seem its somethingthat had been previously highlighted to him (as a shortcoming, error etc ) and he hadnt heeded the good advice of his boss. erto...a right royal bollocking was in order........and delivered........and we move on. Not all players will survive this remodellign of the club. that just IS. I sense Cale will be one ( that doesnt ) And you know what I couldnt really care a toss as all players are just a part of a bigger picture...the TEAM...our team and if it isnt working properly I want the club to exercise every ability in rectifying in. I just want an able and competitive team , ultimatelly successfyul but dont care whos wearing the jumpers in order to achieve this. Why actually does it matter. it seems the club has invested much time, patience and resources ( let alone money ) into Cale and its just not gelling. I have no personalanimisityat all towards Cale. He has skills, he has talent, he just doensnt seem to be at teh level and ability required to fulfil the requirements of a team member of a SUCCESSFUL Melbourne. So he either becomes one or is replaced. Simple isnt it. Time wise...surely he must be close to exhausting his time credits.

we must remember...we are viewed as a rather infiormed supporter site. Thats the goss anyhows

you do wonder however as to whether the pulse in the real footy world ( npi ) is that Morton has yet to fire ...or are they going by our collective sentiments? A bit chicken and egg almost

actually "One fan commented yesterday that he had played well against the Pies ''apart from the bit where I had to throw the TV out the window''." Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/morton-is-yet-to-make-his-mark-20120612-2088y.html#ixzz1xdKk9hPU

We are DEMONS !!

ouch !!!

You werent watching cales reaction to Neeld then i gather

Diddums for Cale. No wonder we all ( well many ) think he needs to harden up. Its not a kindergarten excursion....... Its bloody afl footy ffs. If he cant or wont suffer a bollocking when he f#%&s up then he has no place in this business .

Lets put it succinctly. He f#%&ed up big time. Had obviously disobeyed a previous directive and was justly lambasted for it. Its not just Cale who but the whole team that suffers for such acts and he needs to have that rammed down his throat . Same for any other player. If he cant follw instructions find those that can.

As i humbly understand Neelds thinking he is an advocate of getting the ball in deep and putting the forwards to work. That was the coorect option for Calendar but he just kind ked dumbly ibto enough space for an EASY collingwood mark tbat went coast to oast. F,n brilliant

jaded , you know what this says to me. Thsi guy cant play footballat the elite level. He needs someone to tie his showe laces and tell him when to fart. Good players KNOW what to do. and when to do it. They will, in the main , attempt to work within the instruction of the coac9s) but they also realise the game is so fluid , so unique , that its actually impossible to instruct a player how to do everything because so much is reactive to the situation at hand. This is why youget soe guys that shine at traiining and match practice because its all a forgone conclusion as to how its supposed to pan out. Thats the nature of a drill. its known. Come matchday unfortuantely the opposition isnt so kind as toplay our game , they are buggers and want to play theirs, whod da thiunk !! Morton has NO real game smarts. he has some silky skills and ability but thats not the context of our game.he conssitently gets caught out, or siimply caught. Sometimes hes made to look better than he possibly is because ANOTHER of our players had read the situation and comes to his rescue.. Most of his turnovers occur at moments when he is simply lost for a decision, actually not true, hes lost for a progressive play. he makes decisions, many bad. Lets , please , stop confusing skills with the ability to play football ( well, and at the elite level).

I reckon Shakespeare was once involved with football many many centuries ago !! lol

love ??? or sniffing fresher blood elsewhere ??

exactly what ive been saying also. Put the money in the middle. Other areas are evolving ok but we need a quality engine to drive this car.

You have a good time now , you hear Old Dee...yee ha !! lucky Duck (totally with you on ya previous comment too )

Not stuck in the past....rooted in the past. We are after al lthe inventors. I can see it will divide. ftr ..im not a fan of the crimson on the emblem either.. it could have been red lol As another noted if as a keepsake and special occasionthen , yep.. if some sort of new uniform... id pass.

Whether players are traded or moved on or move on they can still choose to remember their time at the MFC will fondness and pride.. This is all a part of the club building its brand and rediscovering its heritage as we go on to write new pages in its history. I dont mind it as an idea, interesting to see how all others and players view it.

The control of the tail has returned to the dog. Get used to it lads.

Do you know this , or merely casting your own aspersions ?? Im somewhat surprised youd even think he hasnt spoken to the players as this was his stated intention as soon as they returned after their break. Whats being reported has transpired since these briefs ( player's) There will be rude awakenings ( npi ) for more than a handful of players, even some of the more gifted and dedicatd ones. The bar is simply a lot higher now.. Its up to the players to respond.

Billy... grow up Neeld is on record for saying exactly that HE wont accept what people say only what they do.. Now try getting that through your skull , huh. Dont utter things without checking reality it only serves to highlight your predisposition to attack people.

If were talking Jurrah then he will have to work on his 'consistent' efforts in regard defensive pressure. He knows how to do it all but in all honesty he doesn't give it for 100 mins.. But hes far from alone. most of the team doesnt and thats the essential element Neeld will address. Players will need to play at 100% for 100% of the game or give it their very very best impersonation of such. Neeld wont accept players professing to give their all, he will only accept them doing it. One simple rule for all.

Im sure everyone will be instructed as to whats expected of the team , and of them as individuals. Roles will be described and criteria of acceptance explained. At the moment all players are at the exact same point of their new Melbourne experience. I.e No one has played a game under Neeld yet. Players now all ...ALL, have to earn their spots. They will have to work just as hard if not harder to keep them as efforts and outcomes are better understood. Liam, just to suggest one, will not be exempt. No one will. A new day has dawned and some will see the sun and smile at the chance, others will wilt in the heat. Its about a team , not individuals.....that era is over
