Melbourne's talented youth

[richoatthedisco]

... must all be in the Demons side or injured because I just watched the Casey-Willi game and there was **** all talent running around for the Scorpions, except for Jurrah and you wouldn't have even known he was playing. Wonna - shorter, fatter and slower than I remember and couldn't get near it. Maric - short, slow, dud. Bennell - meh. The rest - invisible.

Cue Richmond bashing but it will just be deflecting from the fact that Melbourne's much-vaunted youth talent pool only runs about four deep.

 

[BACCS]

But they do have more talent than Richmond, so the Richmond bashing is warranted.

 

[richoatthedisco]

That's debatable. What we can be sure of is both teams have more talent than Adelaide.

 

[lions_den]

Yep, they'll be tanking for picks again 3 years from now, bookmark it.

 

[Fairtex]

wow that's really sad... your so determined to try be better than Melbourne that you start bagging our 2nd's side.... who really cares about the VFL in all honesty? But I do remember Casey beating Coburg about a month ago by about 70 points...fail thread is fail.

 

[100action]

to be fair willi had guns likes of everitt, roughead, jones, reid and ward. All of which played far better than any melbourne listed player today.

Melbourne Players Today-

Johnson (delisted at the end of this year)
Maric (Nothing player)
Bell (Injury prone and old)
Jurrah(first game back after shoulder reconstruction)
Cheney(Nothing more than a depth player)
Wonna (Struggling to get fitness)
Spencer (Hopeless)
Fitzpatrick (First game of footy for the year)

Those players besides Jurrah wouldn't even get close to our best 22... so i don't know what your point is, we didn't display any of our young talent today.

Mate Melbournes youth were coming up against the doggies juggernaut of talented kids. It's to be expected really.

 

[borough]

Watched the game, I think the new nickname for Wonna should be fatboy. He does not belong in the VFL seniors with his fitness, back to the VFL reserves for him.

 

[Brent24]

I did have a laugh at Wonna. Surely no Melbourne supporter sees a future for him, the fairytale is already over. The fat slob doesn't have any tricks to even be any good at VFL.

 

[bighit006]

They'll just wheel out the M1 Abrams when the talent dries up again, what a blight on the competition they are. I think we need a scumbag league for teams(Melbourne and Carlton) that have blatantly cheated this most noble of sporting competitions.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

wow that's really sad... your so determined to try be better than Melbourne that you start bagging our 2nd's side....

Yeah, you've got to laugh about Richmond & Brisbane posters trying to compare against our B team, because they can't beat our A team... I wonder how Casey v Richmond might turn out by the way?

Of course, going by last weekend, I'd have to back Casey against WCE at this point too

I love our juggernaut of talented kids

The fact is before this game Casey was a game clear on top with Williamstown in second. To be beaten by over 100pts is an utter humiliation for Casey, even Frankston did better than that.

If fatboy and co are the future of Melbourne, the club should fold now.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

the club should fold now.

You mean with the Demons having at least several thousand more members than Sydney, average crowds about 8,000 above the average for Swans matches, and the Swans posting losses while we're back in profit?

You'd hope they're playing VFL. What's the average age of your current 22, 26.5+?

So your saying your B team is better than your A team?

Because.....WCE 75 def MEL 46

Nah, I'm just giving you Eagles credit for not being as benightedly hopeless in Round 8 as you are now.

Granted, I still felt like putting a paper bag over my head after that result...

That may be so. But then again, we've never sunk so ridiculously low that even the Bad News Bears were able to flog us by 27 goals, then had the AFL pump millions upon millions of extra cash in just to keep the club functioning and avoid a merger with those same Bears.

Not to mention all the artificial help through large salary and draft concessions in order to build Sydney up again virtually from scratch and help you win Premierships- as the Swans finally did in 2005, for the first time in 72 years

 

[HurleyLegend]

LOL at people use a VFL game during Melbourne's week off as proof Melbourne has shit youth.

I actualy watched 3 qtrs because it was on ABC and there was no other footy on today.

There were like 7 demon listed players playing for Casey, and only 2 of them (Bennel and Jurrah) are in their best 35 players.

Meanwhile, I really like the look of that Matt Little guy. Could my bombers recruit him?

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Last Casey VFL Premiership: 1999

We've only been aligned with them for the last couple of years.
Sandringham won 3 flags in a row (2004-06) while we were aligned with them.

Last Sydney AFL Premiership: 2005

Next Sydney premiership: 2077
45 years of fail<<<<<<<72 years of fail

When Casey won that premiership they where not aligned with anyone. Sandringham won one of those premiership due to the diving of Sautner.

A movie about Wonna:

Well, that's kinda my point. Were they the only Melbourne-listed players playing? Only Jurrah is any good.

wow that's really sad... your so determined to try be better than Melbourne that you start bagging our 2nd's side.... who really cares about the VFL in all honesty? But I do remember Casey beating Coburg about a month ago by about 70 points...fail thread is fail.

Calm down sweetheart. Anyway, you just proved above that Melbourne players are not responsible for Casey results.

That may be so. But then again, we've never sunk so ridiculously low that even the Bad News Bears were able to flog us by 27 goals (you'd won 11 of 66 coming into this year), then had the AFL pump millions upon millions of extra cash in just to keep the club functioning (no, Joe Gutnick did that, then you ****ed his Jew arse off asap) and avoid a merger with those same Bears (the only reason you avoided a merger with Hawthorn was because they rejected you).

Not to mention all the artificial help through large salary and draft concessions in order to build Sydney up again virtually from scratch and help you win Premierships- as the Swans finally did in 2005, for the first time in 72 years

You cheated the salary cap and have received greater draft concessions aka priority picks than Sydney ever did.
