  1. Bowey's first 17 games were wins. He was outstanding in a lot of them Bad comparison
  2. Its totally unprofessional. No one holding them to high standards. Leadership is badly wanting.
  3. How does May get fined for being in a mellee?? He was jumped on FFS
  4. I'm convinced your Simon Goodwin. A joke. 'the way the list is' is laughable. Almost our strongest possible side. And by the way Simon if you hadn't noticed already we are in the wilderness. Totally irrelevant to the rest of the AFL
  5. I've watched him closely for the past 2 seasons. He's the laziest footballer on our list. Can't run from drinking bathfulls of water I'd trade him in a heartbeat.
  6. I've counted 4 soiled kicks in 5 minutes
  7. Their bias is insufferable Salem just missed a15m easy hit up kick. Just fstk off. Useless
  8. The usual 2 disposals to half time. Along with Fritsch
  9. Shut the doors of this useless club 20 to 6 i50s 12 shots to 1 Head should roll
  10. 200 uncontested possessions coming up 100pt flogging on the cards Seriously what acooked football club. Hang your heads in Shame
  11. Others with better knowledge can confirm this but I understand we didn't have the list spots in 24. So your suggestion would have meant swapping out later 24 picks for picks in 25 in a supposedly weak draft. Not great perhaps. The reality is we have got 4 first round picks in 2 years which, if we had been playing reasonable football would have been seen as a masterstroke. It has been clouded by the fact we are playing terrible footy with virtually a full list. That's the real problem
  12. Hinkley
  13. Hardly. Season is shot. Harsh calls should have been months ago
  14. Way too late for selection integrity. Its been a major issue for several years. Dropping Fritsch 12 months too late cost us big time
  15. You may not be familiar with the term discussion.....
  16. We can't execute our craft without the right personnel
  17. petty for McKay seems fair
  18. Excluding first year players who are those that have improved this year? Turner, Langdon, Bowey, Pickett and maybe Chandler That is on each and every player that calls themselves a professional. McDonald has been great but is out of the team presumably because he is seen as not being long term Look at Neale, Bont, Pendlebury and Sidebottom. Absolute pros. Our leaders (Max excluded) are bordering on fraudulent. And maybe worse is that they are all bad in the same area - disposals and ball use. You can see the club has tried to improve players with ball use including with Lindsay and Langford but it doesn't help players being played out of position like Windsor - who is clearly not a backman. Or Petty who is not a forward. What has happened to Rivers, Fritsch, Petty, Lever, May, Salem, Van Rooyen, Viney, Sparrow, Tholstrup? That's why we are in a hole. And the coaching staff IMO are mostly responsible but at some point the players need to take stock in their own performances. 2 years of crud
  19. We wouldn't have win the 87 final. 1990 is the one that got away. Poor fixturing plus bad luck killed us
  20. Reuben Ginbey taking out Melksham and the Gov
  21. jnrmac replied to jnrmac's topic in Melbourne Demons
    This encapsulates the frustration we all share brainless footballers doing brainless things with low skill as well
  22. The players should be embarrassed that their skill level is so pathetically low. Professional footballers myarz
  23. all true. Aside from a 3 week period in 2021 we have never had a killer instinct. Our leaders have been found wanting.
  24. I feel your pain. All good points And when thousands of paid up supporters feel the same and start dropping off their membership renewals we will sink further into irrelevance. The AFL has butchered our competition and this just adds to it.
