Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 6 - 10

2 hours after the game and the dees autopsy thread has burst to 4 pages - regardless of the result we have that many before I've left the ground..........

Could have sworn I remember there was talk in weidemans draft year that he was our first choice at 10 and Harry the fallback if he was gone?

I didn't know that. Thank goodness, that it fell the way it did. Although in fairness, I think he will come good. It's Caro's reaction to Harry and SPS that i'm objecting to. I think Sam will fine in due time.

I was thinking the same thing earlier when I went in there. It was at 2 pages then and that was about 30 mins after the game

Not sure about that.

I haven't really seen any aggression or contested marking ability from Weideman.

Seems a different player in early part of this year than he did late last year.

As would seem to be the case for a number of Dees' players. One wonders what has changed there to have them playing like some of the worst Dees' teams of the last decade & a bit.

Maybe we should wander over and make a contribution?

I think some of the experts on the main board may be rethinking their position that Carlton should have followed Melbourne's lead and traded out draft picks for mature players. They have a worrying lack of quality 18-20 to improve the list.

Looks like another rebuild for the Demons to me

 

[Blue Pulse]

Does anyone else reckon Jack might get weeks for his chicken wing.??
I hope the media make some noise about it.

He's one of the media boys now, nothing to see here

Missing their 3 best defenders, not surprising how terrible they are defensively.

But the scoring woes are getting progressively worse and don't look like improving. This is their best forward line and midfield combination, probably just Hannan missing, who is hardly a game-breaker.

Hurt them losing Hogan too ….

Very handy player.

Maybe they went on a (secret) pre-season camp, at which they all learned to hate one another, themselves, and their footy club? It’s a copycat industry, after all.

Very handy player.

According to Paul Roos significantly better than Patrick Cripps .

Paul 'trade pick 1 for multiple role players' Roos.

Dumb campaigner.

This is what defines us as a club. Our supporters passion and unbridled drive for success.

It's genuinely incredible how bad Melbourne are this year. What the hell happened in the last 6 months?

They are missing most of their backline for a start.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

They are missing most of their backline for a start.

And their hearts too it seems.

The thing that has me perplexed is their insipid midfield ….. did their coaching line change???

 

[Mondyboy]

While that’s true their midfield is a shocker. They don’t seem to have any defensive run.

Once Goodwin started dropping players behind the ball they didn’t look like scoring, they might have to be daring and play Max up forward with Pruess rucking when they get May and Lever back. IDK what other options they have unless they go smaller because McDonald and Weiderman isn’t working

They got talked up as certainties to challenge on the back of last year, some believed it would automatically happen and have dropped off in their preparation, application or dedication.

It happens to young teams who aren’t prepared for it, thought that was why Lewis was at the club.

And maybe they left it halfway through because it was getting too tough
