I don't think our performance last week was as bad as Essendon's right now against Adelaide.

A little perspective maybe..?

    I don't feel as bad about it but it was still pretty putrid. The best bit is listening to Lloyd have a cry about it.

    Adelaide at AAMI are a totally different beast. Since they've joined the competition they've won 65% of their AAMI matches and 39% elsewhere.

    Theyve played 104% of games?

    Using far too much handball terribly just like we did

    Dont fool yourself as we were beaten badly last week

    This year the scoreboard is the least of our priorities

    playing competivley with the goal to be more consistent at it is what this year is about

    Good football teams dont get smashed like what the Crows did to us or the Bombers

    Do you not think has something to do with the pressure Adelaide are applying and the options they are leaving to the opposition by virtue of the way they set up..?

    Young football teams DO get pumped like we did, from time to time.

    All comes down to how we perform against Essendon. They will come out absolutely pumped but we've seen in the form line that we can beat them. It's sad I'm writing off the saints game already, but the bombers game is a huge opportunity we need to take.

    They've won 65% of games at AAMI - 65 games won for every 100 played

    They've won 39% of games not played at AAMI - 39 games won for every 100 played

    It's about 52% overall

  • Quote

    For the keen observers, they've also won 100% of the games they've won.

    AND, they've lost 100% of the games they've lost.

    That makes 200%!

    Thanks Eth. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.

    The adelaide of the last two weeks is substantially different to that of the first 12 and they will beat a few more teams before the year is out. Melbourne's performance last week, particularly the first half was abysmal- no questions, however people will soon realise that Adelaide aren't as bad as the start of the year indicated.

  • Quote

    Comparing our game to essendons game against the Crows is just making an excuse (again)

    Our Game against adelaide totally stunk and that is the only way to describe it. At 1/4 time-Game over. Shite effort.

    It was shite, but the performance of the bombers also provides some perspective for all the panic merhcants.

    Personally, I didn't enjoy our match against Adelaide, but I'm content with the outcome.

    7 plus 13 also equals 28

    Can't agree with that. Not all the Team is Young-we have many senior players in our current side.

    Opposition sides all have young players too .

    Our Team attitude is not right-10 years of losing on the road & you are content?

    Maybe the players are like that because they know they can get away with it. "oh the supporters won't mind-they are content"

    Interesting thought that....

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
