The players have made a statement as to how they feel about the coach today.

I think thats true. No point singling out players when the issue must be the club as a whole. there are many issues.

With Casey losing by 128 and we are down by over 100 at half time, fair to say not a good day!

If anyone is to start a "Positives today" thread should recieve a 1 week ban.

for me, it has just gotten to the point where this is actually funny. I mean 114 points down at half time, c'mon, i don't even know how to respond to that. ah well, Carlton next week...

I do like Bailey, but there is no way he can continue on after this game, he needs to step down.

Sad stat

Green and Moloney =1 touch to half time .

WTF is wrong out there ?

I have been a devout supporter of this club for 13 years. I go to every Melbourne game, I buy a membership, I donate to the club, but I am absolutely 100% done.

This is not an emotional, angry, over the top reaction, this is me making a decision that until Dean Bailey and Brad Green are no longer there, I am not going to participate in supporting this club.

My membership money will still be there, but I won't be.

I have had a gutfull of being kicked in the nuts by this club.

If Bailey is coaching us next week and Brad Green is not rotting at Casey where he should have been weeks ago, then I won't be wasting my time on this club.

Watching that first half was like having someone punch me in the face over and over again. I feel physically ill.

Never ever ever again should we have to put up with this sort of [censored].

The players have made a statement as to how they feel about the coach today.

And the Melbourne Football Club. They've [censored] all over it today.

I must say i find it absolutely amazing that a player (one of or best) has played 2 quarters of football in the centre and has zero touches by halftime....

I don't know where we can go from here. This is the most soul destroying, pathetic performance I have ever seen. I was actually up for giving Bailey an extension into 2012, but I don't know how I can cop him being our coach after this week let alone next year.

The fact is this performance is a reflection on him, the players have no pride for themselves, the club, and the coach, otherwise they would've shown some fight.

Jordie Mac and Jonesy are the ONLY ones out there that are actually trying to have a go. No one is running, no one is trying to tackle, and for gods sake is anyone going to try to pick up a man? I was happy to see Watts get fired up and show a bit of anger, at least it shows he's hurting.

I'm not going to watch the second half, I can't stomach it, I will find out what the final score is tomorrow in the paper. I'm half expecting a press conference on Monday with the club saying it was some kind of elaborate prank, because i just can't believe it's got this bad.

Im going out to take the stickers off the car the worst part of all this

is I have to go to work on Monday off the back of this crap

Ox is absolutely FUMING on SEN1116!

Paraphrasing: "I have never been more embarrassed in a side, especially a side I barrack for, in my entire life. This is dispicable"

Anybody who used line betting on Geelong as an odds sweetener in a multi-bet would be laughing right now. Where's that guy who lost a million dollars recently?

GET BATE ON! HE WILL SAVE US!

Im changing teams

Off you go then!

Bailey should step down Viney should be given the job till the end of the season. Connolly should step down and Laidley should be appointed head of the Football department. Green should step down and Trengove should be appointed Captain, if he want's to. The recruiting department should be sacked for recruiting such a bunch of pathetic wimps. Sylvia should be traded for someone that gives a [censored]. Jurrah should be sent to Casey and told that he won't be played until he learns that it's a team game and not just about him.

There are many other changes but that's a start and until they do I won't be giving any more cash to support the current bunch of no hopers.

Its pretty obvious there is serisously something wrong at our club.

Is it a all the Scully speculation and money offer?

The total lack of leadership?

The regret of sacking Junior?

The supposed infighting between connolly and Bailey

But probably more than that....stuff behind the scenes we dont know about.

After today im pretty sure Baileys gone, Green will be stood down in favour of say .....a grimes

Id say not only Bailey but the whole coaching panel.

Positive:

If we just go home, and the margin is over 500-600 points, Collingwood won't be #1 on the ladder at the end of the round.

Ha ha ha....yeah not a bad idea!...

And some got all heated last weekend saying the crowd against Hawthorn was bad....... Why would you watch? Footballers are supposed to be providing entertainment. Pure and simple. It's peoples disposable income. This is not entertainment, this is embarrassing.

People will use their disposable incomes in other ways now. This is breaking the Melbourne Football Club

I have had a gutfull of being kicked in the nuts by this club.

Nuts? I thought you were "not a he"

The entire football department needs to be stood down immediately

I'd start with the senior players. Terrible for younger players like Nicholson, Howe, Tapscott etc. to be out there with this going on. Where are the role models, the leaders?

Some deep-seated cultural problems at the club for this to be happening. It's all very well sorting out the debt, and loading up on young guns, but if it's rotten at the core ...

you should keep them on it may help get sympathy from other drivers

Has a coach ever been sacked or resigned during the 1/2 time break in a game?

Not sure but can't see why he couldn't.

Hopefully we can win one of the next two quarters. Then Bailey can talk about the disappointment of losing three out of four. In truth, the senior players should be dropped. This is disgraceful. But Bailey will have to resign and leave Viney in charge for the last 5 games. We then need to throw everything at Clarkson. There must be change.

Not on TV here for a couple of hours - don't think I could...

From the stats - 0 for Moloney and 1 handball for Green.

Frawley and McKenzie the only Dees in double figures.

What gives?

He should have been sacked at least six weeks ago. Far too much indulgence from the board.

quite a remarkable post in light of those that you posted in the hawthorn crowd size thread last week
