Round 10 Melbourne v Hawthorn

[blaze036]

Man Franklin is shit, 1.2 so far, it's Melbourne...honestly wouldn't be surprised if Hawthorn were secretly hoping he screwed off at the end of the year and helped with the salary cap space. Easily replaceable, and the statistics back that up.

don't know why everyone wants to pay franklin a million a year.. he isn't that good.

Give me murphy pendlebury or cotchin any day of the week

If Melbourne win the second half and put in a competitive effort against Collingwood, I think he'll be safe.

However a 100 point loss today will see the back of him in my view.

Won't make it to Collingwood, Hawks are playing with them. Kick straight and they are already 100 points in front, has the makings of the biggest margin of the year.

 

[Danair]

Run a sweep for the final margin?

152 points.

140

 

[Grechy]

I think it will be between 115-135 points personally. Melbourne are having a crack but they are simply not good enough to even compete against the Hawks.

 

[SuperCats9]

I'll go FT score:

Melbourne 34
Hawthorn 186

 

[Keys]

There's just no attention to detail by Melbourne. Bruest has a set shot for goal on a tightish angle yet there's no one there to run at him when he goes off his line to improve the angle

Side is just completely devoid of confidence

 

[The Prosecutor]

Forward Press, Melbourne have a board meeting tomorrow, hence why all the speculation was based on this game.

He'll likely be gone and the President should go with him.

 

[Paranoid]

Nah Fitzroy had some good players and battlers with heart.

Fitzroy made you feel sorry for them the way they battled.

No sympathy for this Melbourne side.

I feel bad for Jones

 

[Igloo]

Run a sweep for the final margin?

152 points.

144 I reckon.

Give it a rest. He's out of form.

 

[Righteo]

I'd like to know how many goals Melbourne have given up in the last 5 minutes of quarters this year.

 

[Zach Package]

melbourne's last 2 first halves have yielded 3 goals and 27 points.

Hawthorn just kicked 3 goals in 81 seconds

scrap that. make that 79 seconds

 

[ManOfClay]

Run a sweep for the final margin?

152 points.

100 even. Hawks will take their foot off the gas

 

[blaze036]

Give it a rest. He's out of form.

a rest? first time i've said it...

its not just based on his current form

 

[Grape Bear]

Feel sorry for the Demons fans. THE Shemons themselves? Not so much. They have had high draft picks for years, but they've squandered their opportunities with poor development structures and a poor culture.

Neeld will go this week. Will this fix them? Not for a long, long, long time.

 

[Dragz]

I feel bad for Jones

Yeah, poor bugger gives his all every week. Hell, I reckon I'd give him better support than his team mates and i can't run or kick, but at least i'd give %100

 

[W.C. Fry]

Side is just completely devoid of confidence

Should have kept them out at half time, maybe get some confidence up against the Auskickers?

 

[schnoods]

Looking grim for melbourne, 2nd half Roughhead and Franklin will probably monster Frawley and Garland and snag 4-5 each.

Only 2 melbourne players are earning their wage today, Nathan Jones and Chris Dawes. Jones should be captain too.

Neeld will go this week. Will this fix them? Not for a long, long, long time.

I feel sorry for the players as well.

You would rather Mark Murphy than Buddy Flanklin.

Please please please get a job recruiting.

 

[Grechy]

Even if they sack Neeld is it going to change anything? What potential coach is going to take over a team this bad.

 

[Forward Press]

Forward Press, Melbourne have a board meeting tomorrow, hence why all the speculation was based on this game.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

A triple digit margin will see the first coaching change of the year in my view. And maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think many of the long-suffering Melbourne fans on here would be too upset about the decision.

 

[tazhawk]

a rest? first time i've said it...

Why would a Collingwood supporter knock him when he has torn them a new one so many times.

The way you are talking you would think he was as useless as Dayne Swan.

 

[Keys]

God damn Stevens shits me

I hope Melbourne keep neeld just to prove him wrong

Guy is an absolute ****stick

 

[blaze036]

Dees should be using 10% of the salary cap
