Game Day

[armstrong35 262]

one of our best on ground was a player who we questioned about getting picked at pick 1.....

2008/2009 all over again

things need to change, i see no passion no hardness no nothing!

surely green is sent to the 2nds?

and yes i'm frustrated :'(

[Red Sox 2]

If Brisbane had J Brown we would've been flogged. They were all over us in the last qtr.

Besides rnd 1 and including the signs coming from the pre-season games we have been sh!thouse!!

Pathetic. Nothing to show or be gained from any game we've competed played in.

I joined this forum about four years ago because I felt so pssed off. Everyone at the club says things are different but it feels just the same. I'm so sick of players who think they're better than they are. I don't want to mention names 'cos I'm sick of it but we have so many selfish player who only play well when we're in front. SELFISH OPPORTUNISTS!!!!!

worsfold...'you cant afford to have too many senior players out when you have such a young side'

Melbourne let Junior go and lost Bruce....

WC had Qstick, Kerr, Embley, Cox, Glass, Priddis...makes a big difference..

Poor decisions footy dept...

Morton no pressure outy of bounds on the full...col sylvia no pressure misses green lead...is bailey to blame

it is baileys fault if he's not communicating, relating to and driving the players to perform to their optimum

To be the best, you have to get the best coach - Malthouse is the best but won't be available next year. We will end up like St Kilda with Thomas - lots of high draft picks, and nothing to show for it. Roos or Matthews are both available now (I'd even take Craig Bellamy from the Storm ahead of Bailey). Both would build a strong support team as well. No caretaker coaches please - like many supporters. I've donated money, bought the memberships, waited patiently but I want to see improvement. Not a coach walking up and down the sideline patting the players as they come on and off the ground.

No words can describe what i watched tonight.

We all know what we think of the effort !

I'm seriously going to struggle to go watch this team until something changes.

No motivation here

Exactly, feeling it in the guts. Watched the players walk off, is what they should be feeling acceptable to them? It's not like the first time this has happened. Don't they learn, do they FEEL it?

What we've just watched is no surprise, it is almost predictable now. Who wants a team with such a culture?

What has happened to our back line? Loose men all night, no pressure, no idea.

At least Jack darling has done me well in my dream team.

Disgusted!

[Deemort 28]

i am feeling a little confident tonight...listening to all the coaches on radio so far, the Club fully realizes what this game means. This one is all about RESPECT.

It is a good side on paper....selected for Pace according to Choco Royal.

lol

This team is lost.....there is no other way to describe it...they are playing spineless reactionary football. We know it is not a matter of the player talent. The competition largely contains an even spread of talent, and the draft creates that, albeit that they are at different stages of development. What then, is the difference at Melbourne? It simply must be the coaching, and the apparent lack of ability to instill a hardness of approach. I have so desperately wanted to avoid that conclusion, but there is no other.

For what other reason does our team consistently, and I mean game after game, show a lack of sheer team oriented desire? At the very least you want to see a consistent determination and a sense of pride. It makes me in equal parts embarrassed and frustrated to be a supporter of this club. The irony is that I think we will beat Adelaide. In the warm protected cocoon of the MCG, we'll put out enough to win, and maybe by a decent margin, but there'll be absolutely no less frustration, because any way you look at it, it would be a soft win.

I want to see hard wins, or even hard losses, and three times a year isn't enough. I want to support a club that makes me feel their pride and desire, and I feel sorry for guys like Jack Trengove, Luke Tapscott, Brent Moloney, Nathan Jones, Mark Jamar and some others who have to sit on this rudderless yacht. I'd be looking for any possility to jump ship. It wouldn't be disloyalty, just a means to preserve what pride they have left.

No Heart!

Too many ball gazers!

A typical Melbourne performance, I'd be lying if I said I had never seen a performance like that in 28 years of watching our games! Maybe a change of coach at the end of the year may bring an underachieving group of talented footballers a greater understanding of what it takes to win games and play out four quarters. They no longer need a mentor but a winning mentality and a game plan to achieve it!

Bring on Adelaide!

That is one of the worst effort's I have ever seen by the Melbourne Football Club and sadly there is plenty too choose from. I hate being a member of a club that is a joke and we are and have been for a long time now. I like Dean Bailey but his time is up, it is just a matter of when it happens. I would like to see the club be proactive and make that this week, because enough is enough.

Bruce is currently the Hawks worst player and will end up playing the year out at Box Hill. His saved salary will help us keep players like Scully. Move on, Bruce is not the reason we lost nor is losing a 35 year old Junior.

Where are the "MFCSS"-saying people now??? You all know who I am talking about... Maybe they can finally see what the rest of us have been saying for years.

FYI - MFCSS is really an acronym best used to describe those that, despite all evidence to the contrary, constantly say that tomorrow will be warm and sunny - even in the middle of a cold-snap.

I'm sick of this crap.

I have never read so many negative posts....but this time i agree with nearly all of them....I too have been a Bailey supporter till now but this is it.....get a match day coach, and get one now!!

I was simply pointing out the lack of senior players in comparison....we have none of the ilk that the eagles do....
