  1. Yeah, Neeld was really wrong about him. He's totally tearing it up.
  2. Jon Ralph is in the business of drumming up frenzy and calling it news. Of course he is under the pump.
  3. Thank goodness for the voice of reason.
  4. 6. Garland 5. M Jones 4. N Jones 3. Sylvia 2. Watts 1. Pedersen Mentions to Davey, Terlich and Trengove.
  5. A huge proportion of their goals when the game was there to be won were from burning ball going inside 50. We took the game on and looked really good, then turned it over in the corridor so that everybody (usually Garland) got caned on the way back. Once they cut those skill errors out we'll be right in games for much longer.
  6. Neeld isn't going anywhere, you people are dreaming. And this is not his fault. These guys are playing for him and having a crack. Our problem is not structures, gameplans or anything else. We just have terrible, terrible decision making and technical skills.
  7. Ain't going anywhere. We'll pay him a fortune to stay and nobody else will pay him to leave.
  8. I did the old match up thing, and I can only find four winners for us in the starting 18 - Sylvia over Macaffer, Watts over Williams, Dawes over Reid and Nate Jones over Blair. And the last two are really a split decision and suspension of disbelief that Jones won't be run off by Pendelbury, Swan or Sidebottom. I know they never match up like that, but it is a good 'finger in the air' measure of how things might pan out. The answer: Not well.
  9. There's a lot in this. And it kills me to say it, but he will be absolutely fantastic once someone like Malthouse gets hold of him.
  10. I think it will be too wet to go too tall, and in any event we need running defenders to go with their smalls. We just need to cover off on Cloke with someone (really think Sellar is the go here), and put as much run and carry in as we can.
  11. Good on you for getting amongst it! I would say though that when we tried Watts on Jono Brown he got absolutely, completely smashed. I doubt Neeld will go there again.
  12. Absolute gold. Sellar is the only choice. Pedersen too small. Although Joel MacDonald is an interesting suggestion...
  13. Remember when we sent the undersized Rivers to him? And how well that worked? Think Cloke had about 30 marks by half time.
  14. Completely agree. I've really liked Watts up forward the last couple of weeks. Watts can be incredibly damaging up forward and long may it last. Our best set shot, apart from Mitch Clark.
  15. How would you know, you're not even watching.
  16. So bringing in an entirely new coaching staff who 'know what they are doing' is going to magically change the fact that half our list are spuds? Please.
  17. And won't we all love it when Dawes takes 11 marks in a lead up CHF role, and when he bangs it 60 m to the top of the square, it will be Clark standing under it rather than Davey and Fitzpatrick.
  18. I'd say today we took the game on more than in any match I've seen since the Bailey years. Quite seriously.
  19. Hate to call you on this, but this is complete garbage.
  20. Typical WYL crap. For someone not watching, your rate of commentary remains high.
  21. Oh, and welcome back Chipper. Towelled Buddy today, including a vintage chase and tackle up against the boundary line. Praise the Lord.
  22. Signs today, in parts. However, we would have to be the most frustrating side to ever play in the AFL. We do SO many stupid things, which ruin such a lot of good, hard work. Nathan Jones, you are a star.
  23. Haha all good... I think we are all overlooking the fact that we aren't going to be choosing the next coach, regardless of who it is!
  24. Seriously, mate, you have to stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
  25. So I open the thread called 'Realistic Future Melbourne Coach' and the first post advocates John Northey. Then we call Bailey a tough guy and Malthouse lovable. Come on, people. Peter Jackson and the AFL are going to pay out Mark Neeld, install a serious coach and move on. Money just moves in circles in these instances, which is why the tanking fine meant nothing. The AFL will pay for it in the end. And make no mistake, the AFL requires Melbourne to exist for TV rights. There is no way on earth they aren't in charge, making sure this ship doesn't inadvertently sink.
