BRUISE FREE FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!

Softest team in the history of the AFL!

[Rollo2 64]

It's strangely comforting reading this thread. At least when you do you realize how many people out there feel your disappointment.

Can I make a prediction though?

An absolute roasting in the media, followed by a much improved performance – probably a narrow loss, maybe even a win – next week against the Blues. Seriously. For a couple of years now the only thing that fires our playing group up is bottoming out and then getting lashed by the media.

PS Bailey has to go.

[The Big Ticket 94]

Well done Jack. Already a better leader than Green and Moloney combined.

Neil Craig did the right thing after the Crows got spanked by the Saints by 100+ will Dean do the right thing too...

[stranga 328]

The softness is unimaginable.

If the club wants 15k members next year, they better announce a change of coach and football department on Monday. Not that i think that can even save this club, but it will at least give hope to some supporters.

The administration sold the rebuild to us, and it was the last roll for a lot of long suffering supporters. It has failed. I fear for this club. The culture of failure beat everyone.

What, we should start a new rebuild then?

I'm disappointed, disgusted and repulsed myself. But in two years time this will be nothing more than a blip on the radar. I don't think the rebuild has failed- it's barely started.

maybe but if not hopefully the club will do the right thing on his behalf

Embarrassing.

I don't care that it's Geelong in Geelong, to concede 20 goals in one half of football is pathetic. No team should ever concede that many goals.

Our youth/inexperience/whatever is no excuse for a performance this inept.

What's the bet we come under immense scrutiny this week, and then put in a half-decent performance against Carlton, thereby removing from people's minds how bad we are right now?

[desertfox 9]

Brian Royal (backline)

Please tell me why this football 'genius' is in charge of our Backs???

[mmc 18]

I'm more concerned with having Josh Mahoney in charge of our forwards.

[Gorgoroth 12,961]

We need to wipe the slate, all assistants gone as well as Bailey.

[45HG 1,539]

Is that 41 inside 50s for 32 scoring shots?

[Gorgoroth 12,961]

yep

+1

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

All i will say about today's performance so far, is that it goes way deeper than just the Coach.

If you want Bailey gone, then Brad Green has to also cease as Captain after today.

NEW START...

[PartyTimeJohnny 537]

No woman in my life has left me more broken-hearted over and over and over like the Melbourne Football Club.

Absolutely agree we need assistants that know what they are dong.

MFC is a joke right now. Would love to see JMac in a assistant coaching role next year. Could we entice G Lyon?

[desertfox 9]

Josh Mahoney...never heard of him. Must speak volumes of his capacity.

I'd only keep Scotty West from the whole coaching staff.

Stop talking of Garry Lyon, he has been out of the game since 1998...it won't happen.

[old dee 23,792]

For months now i have been saying that our players are no where as good as we think.

For months I have been told I do not know what i am talking about.

"We have a talented group" "who only need time"

I am constantly told.

Well guys what is the line tonight?

We have A football department that after four years has us producing what may be the worst performance

In the clubs history.

The has beens we threw out did not play this badly

at least they gave their best.

Unfortunately we have to start again.

I am too old for this but what is the alternative!

Sorry DB but after 4 years you have taken us backwards.

Do the honourable thing and resign tonight.

And CC it is time for the same mate.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Third biggest lead at three quarter time in the history of the game.....says it all really.

Well said. Sad thing is i dont think the club will survive another rebuild.

Id be happy to see all the over 23s go at the end of the year. They have contributed to the rotting of this club as much as the coaches.

[Face Your Demons 175]

After reading todays Hun and hearing the players state they want Bailey as coach, Is that really the way to show it. Very hard to keep positive.
