I'm not ranting. I just worry where his head is?
-
What to do with trengove? He is struggling. Maybe put him behind the ball, get some easy touches? He's really labouring.
-
Pathetic as usual. This is really getting boring watching this garbage every week.

Brad Green's Retirement - It's Official
Pipefitter replied to Range Rover's topic in Melbourne Demons
He's actually playing better footy than most on our list. -
On the Couch - Brock talks about 'tanking'
Pipefitter replied to jumbo returns's topic in Melbourne Demons
Which thankfully will help us not lose draft picks this year. It can't be proved. It would need some sort of leaked document of board room directive on the coach, which isn't going to happen. But i think we all knew what happened. -

I don't care about freo, or carlton, or whatever. I care about our club. I didn't agree with what we are doing at the time, and i still don't. -
On the Couch - Brock talks about 'tanking'
Pipefitter replied to jumbo returns's topic in Melbourne Demons
There are different ways that a coach can make winning a harder thing for the team. Less interchange rotations, playing players in different positions, sending players off to surgery, taking players off for extended periods when they were kicking too many goals, playing ball winners (Mclean) as forward pockets. All of these things happened. We tanked, we all know it. -
On the Couch - Brock talks about 'tanking'

What Brock said was true. Whys everyone shooting the messenger? If people think this year has been our lowest, you've obviously forgotten the indignity of following a club throwing matches and supporters cheering losses. I agree with Brock as it also went against everything I believed in as well. -
Absolutely not. The sleeping tablets were just the tip of the iceberg of the issues.
-
Tackling is a mindset first and skill second. Losing is something I've learnt to take, but the Melbourne way of tackling (holding an arm out as the opponent runs past) is very disappointing.
-
I apologize, I had no idea who I was talking to. Baileys was no good. Neeld is no better. That's my opinion. Taking a team that was unaccountable and making them more unaccountable. That's a talent.
-
How did a team that was good enough to win 8 games last year end up on 2 this year? Blame bailey yeah?
-
If we stay on 2 wins for the remainder of the year and people still think Neeld is the one you need medical attention. We shouldn't be this bad.
-
Half his possesions were changers too. But he covered the ground so well!
-
Neeld has a better list this year, more experience into the kids and we are on track to having a worse win/loss record of any of the Bailey years. I'm not buying into this having to go backwards to go forward. This team should have been on the verge of top 8 this year. Under Bailey we had the ability to play good football even if it was occasionally. Our skills have gone backwards. In trying to get fitter we look more unfit? We have so many highly rated youngsters on our list, surely they all aren't spuds? We should be better than what we are, everyone knows that.
-
Are there any ready made small forwards running round the lower leagues this year? As well as elite midfielders this has been a huge hole for us for a while. Aaron Davey was tried but is obviously not the answer.
-
It's the everything stupid!
-
What a kick from Strauss coming out of defence. I don't think I've seen a kick come out of def 50 like that all year.
-
Rohan Bail just cannot kick. He's not shane edwards bad yet but he's not far off.

I thought viney wasn't a good kick? Looked just fine to me.
-
THIS! He was a clearance machine at VFL level.
-
Terrible outs.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JACK VINEY
Pipefitter replied to einstein251's topic in Melbourne Demons
The whole thing with GWS bidding on him is they actually have to take him meaning we could take a potentially better player at pick 3. Are they willing to do that just to prove a point? -
Devastating.
