Today's loss was shocking....

Go and live their mate, please. I believe the dollar is good as well.

Nah not even interested in traveling there but the country does have some redeeming qualities, NFL being one, southern blues being another.

One thing I will never come to grips with is how a nil all draw is a "good" result.

Because it's a game that puts an emphasis on defence. Good defending should be appreciated just as much as good attacking play and is in fact more important. Same philosophy to why Melbourne is chasing Ross Lyon.

If you can keep a clean sheet you always give yourself a chance to win the game. And it's pretty hard to get beaten if you don't concede a goal!

Of course a 0-0 can be a good scoreline. If Fulham play away to Chelsea and get a 0-0, it's a fantastic result for them.

If I said to you Melbourne drew a low scoring game with Geelong, you'd be thinking it was a great result too.

0-0 is not always about failing to score, it is also about preventing the other team from scoring.

Sorta like having a glass 50% full of Kool-Aid and saying it is neither half full nor half empty but I'll drink it anyway

What ever floats your boat

Nah it's not like that at all. Terrible analogy.

I thought the loss was just terrible. People keep finding positives. I am so sick of always trying to find positives in loses. We've been losing for 50 years.

Tell me about, it a loss is a loss is a loss

0-0 after 90 minutes plus extra time promotes violence in the streets later on i can assure you.

I can watch the odd game of soccer, but i thank the God of chance quite regularly for allowing me to be born in the city of Melbourne, just so i could grow up with the greatest game of all....Australian Football.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
