Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3562269, member: 8423"] It seems that Melbourne might be starting to lose the pull if once had which I find interesting. I’m not calling this the inevitable downward spiral that will inevitably happen just so we are clear. Obviously, their B team in round 27 showed there is still a bit there to work with and that fullback kid could be anything. However, that top end level they’ve always seemed to have had isn’t there and if we are being honest, hasn’t been since Smith retired. They will always be better than most of the pack because of Bellamy but that squad has some alarming holes in it. It also feels like it is starting to age despite losing Bromwiches and Kaufusi. And I know the key players aren’t aging but they just don’t have the zip the likes of Penrith, Brissy and arguably Newcastle have now and that is the way league is going in this six again era. They don’t have a Haas, they don’t have a Tino but they tried to throw the kitchen sink at both reportedly and lost out. Their forward pack is NAS and that’s it in terms of fear factor. Their spine isn’t performing as it should on paper and their backs are overrated. Coates hasn’t improved one bit going there, Sims is a bust, Olam seems to have gone backwards and so too Frant if we are being honest. They also have 900k as an ironic handicap in Paps and surely other players see things like that. This next week or two is huge for their future. [/QUOTE]
