Game Day Round 9 vs. Western Bulldogs, Fri 13/05, 7:50pm MRVL

[Dead Eye Didak]

We are quickly morphing into North Melbourne. The game plan looks like we have players running around completely lost and it looks messy.
Then the selection of certain players utterly confusing, and alot of the younger players are looking quite meh, at the moment.....

You’ve got to go down the big slide.
No point stuffing around in the little kids playground.

You can give him a taste of senior footy, but don't completely feed him to the wolves yet...

davywap is jmac70

Wouldn’t be surprising they’re both equally bad posters

I think you’re a great poster. Particularly for someone I’ve never heard of.

I've never seen our defense look so disorganized and confused as they did in the first quarter.

At least davywap doesnt hide their abrasiveness.

Look to the midfield.

I’m a big fan of sandpaper.

We just seem like good posters compared to some of the delirious half-wits around here

I found a pic of FITW

What's wrong with that picture? I don't get it?

 

[domus]

Look to the midfield.

But we are flogged in the middle most weeks and often rebound and score from defense.

Summary of what we saw for 79 minutes. Callum is way short of the mark, we all know it, yet surely its an indictment on the Footy Department that keep selecting him to play at AFL level? The coach would have the casting vote, and rightly should take some heat.

That's not bad for him.

To sit there live and watching the game, it’s the first time l have left a game with real concern for the next few years.
The inability of this club to get a key forward has been a serious oversight from the recruiting staff.

I think the 2 handballs in the third were clangers and near air shots

Unfortunately Callum isn't AFL quality, despite his efforts, and he does try, but his skill level and football awareness, is not something that's going to see him long-term on a AFL playing list...

The only contract the club should be offering callum is a VFL one.

There's a reason why the Brown's have been getting games. Poulter, Macrae and Bianco are all very unlikely.
