Moneyball could pass for an MFC biopic...in terms of the layers of crap.

It sure looked fun to Watts and Martin up in the stands. Second week in a row Watts has been spotted having a jolly time of it while his side gets annihilated, although that criticism was labelled "pathetic". I guess at least Wattsy watched the game. Col Sylvia would've been out back watching his favourite DVD.

Possibly Moneyball.

    I'd still label the above criticism pathetic.

    I think as a group of players this lot are the most disappointing because it just doesn't seem to worry them.

    On mmm tonight they were asking the question, why are the Melbourne players still out on the ground chatting with the opposition well after the game finished, well why we're they. I saw Stef Martin and Jack Watts walking along together at half time sharing a joke and all smiles; we had just been humiliated yet again by the Hawks in the second quarter but it didn't seem to matter to them.

    The supporters care, the coaches care, but the players don't seem to. Are our players professional; not on your life.

    Didn't see a Melbourne member there tonight having fun - we feel bad. It's not ok for Melbourne players (selected or not) to have an attitude that allows them to have a jolly time. Completely reasonable criticism.

    So you don't think the players should at least give the outward appearance they give a [censored]? Even if they probably don't.

    Be a bit realistic.

    We did actually kick goals and look good at times.

    We even led at quarter time.

    I think that entitles the players watching in the crowd to crack a smile from time to time.

    Difference is we pay them to play crap football and have a bit of a laugh, they actually get paid for the [censored] show they put on for us, or in the case of Martin and Watts they get paid for watching it must be a huge joke.

    It's rare to find a happy supporter after any loss.

    Pretty sure you would've had a happy face during the game when we were kicking goals in the first quarter.

    But we can't let the watching players have the same experience?

    I saw Blease walking outside the ground with some mates 10 or so minutes after the final siren. Surely even non-playing players are requried in the rooms after the game?

    Agree with Watts and co laughing it up while the side gets smashed on the field. Didn't see it tonight but did last week and thought it was pathetic. The side is getting pumped he has been dropped to the VFL and he is having a laugh while the supporters get more and more frustrated and angry. But he was quoted as saying a couple of years back that "losing doesn't matter." Not to single Watts out but it seems indicative of the whole playing group.

    As for chatting out on the ground after the game - I appreciated these guys may have mates in other teams or whatever but surely they can catch up behind closed doors. Shake hands after the siren sure but don't stand out there in full view of demoralised supporters back-slapping and yakking it up with the opposition that just made you look like fools (again) - there's plenty of time to catch up later on at Boutique, CQ or in Sylvia's case Spearmint Rhino.

    As I said I saw them walking back from the members at half time after hawthorn had torn us a new one in the second, not a lot to laugh about there.

    It wasn't at quarter time, Jose. It was when we were being dismembered. Thats the reality we have to be "realistic" about.

    Ain't it fun when you take care of number one

    Oh ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun

    Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue

    'Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung

    It's such fun

    Fair enough. I didn't see any of that.

    It still doesn't worry me much though.

    Laughing is strictly illegal when the team is losing. I, for one, have never laughed, cracked a smile or even had a mildly amused twinkle in my eye when we're getting smashed.

    Do ya think they're cracking smiles and having amusing twinkles in their eyes cause they can't believe how inept we are?

    sorry watts was just saying how small your (yes you reading this post) man-gina is

    WORST STORY EVER.

    i hated losing tonight but my god even i was laughing at a joke i heard tonight at half time

    maybe jack was retelling it

    what has 9 arms and sucks..............

    def leppard...

    It sums up how every supporter feels about what you are dishing up at the moment.

    You speak for "every supporter"???

    I spent 3 hours copping [censored] from the biggest bunch of [censored] weak bandwagon supporters in the competition, and the guys that I'm meant to be supporting give me virtually no reason to.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
