What excuses?

I seriously just wanted to know what you were talking about because I just don't know sometimes. We should beat Port tomorrow out o a matter of course - it's a nothing game.

You want to see progress?

Beat a decent team, or even play well against a decent team.

Then it will be The Time ©, not beating a poor interstate team.

sure i would love to beat a decent side away from the 'G.

But your attitude of not caring about whether we beat a poor interstate club or not is one of the problems this club has had for years.

We pick & choose when to perform.

Glad you bought it up....

I want to see them take a leaf out of the Dogs' book. Take note, this is how you're meant to play Brisbane in Round 1. EFFORT.

i am rapt Footscray are doing this.

I hope the Coach is giving it a look, and some of the players.

Port should get SMASHED tomorrow.....should.

I don't know why I bother...

We should win this game. There is no progress from a win, there is only embarrassment from a loss.

Your intimation that this game will be a coming of age of sorts is misguided and naive.

'Its Time'?

Not yet.

I have to completely disagree with this comment. There's plenty of progress from a win. Every win gives the team the memory of that feeling and the desire to have it more often. Every win creates a bond with the players in that they look at each other and know they went out there and together got the result. I don't think this game will make of break the players or the season, but there is infinitely more gained from a win, especially a hard fought win, than a loss.

Stop picking and choosing which games are "worth" winning.

It is a terrible and destructive attitude this club has clung to for way too long.

"I don't know why I bother..."

Neither do i.

I want to see Viney take the ball out of the first centre bounce, run and and spread the ball to a running Toumpas who will hand-pass over the top to Clark in the goal square. Goal - 23 seconds.

I want to see Watts kick in from a rushed behind and find a running Matt Jones who takes on his opposition player and turns him inside out whilst giving off a hand-pass to Sam Blease who is shepherded beautifully by David Rodan allowing him to run down the members wing to deliver to Sellar on 50. Sellar puts a high ball to the goal square where Howe soars to drag down a contender for GOTY. Goal - 2 mins 30.

ETC

Go Dees!

I just want to see them get a kick , before the opposition lands ten tackles... You blokes are now running on your own adrenalin... Let's just let them show us they can come out of "Shame corner" and play four quarters of football , win or lose, just give all they have and come off the ground totally exhausted... NOT walk off talking and smiling with the bloody opposition !! "[censored]" stuff to my way of thinking...

Jack Watts KO Michael Hurley.

Its sort of pathetic that the idea of Watts running through someone, delivering a strong hit or even trying to rile someone up is laughable.

Supremely skilled and athletic but no attitude.

He HAS an attitude.....it may go something like this ....." [censored], this is harder than schoolboy footy when I used to be able to display my skill and athletic... But now I am playing against men I think I will just be glad I get through the day without having to go near the ball... At least I will still get paid".... This is how I see his attitude.... Forgive me if I upset anyone, but I callit as I SEE IT !!

It is frustrating as I see a superstar inside him, he just needs an attitude change. Anyway, there are enough Jack Watts threads, apologies all.

It starts in the head. Sylvia is from Bendigo, which has a reputation for producing tough, uncompromising players, what happened with him? Jack Watts needs to be moved into the forward line and receive some tutoring from Mitch Clark on how to attack the ball. We need to only play midfielders like Jack Viney, Trengove and Magner who are willing to attack the ball and the game and who are prepared to chase and tackle. Our back line needs Grimes, McDonald and any other player that is prepared to work their guts out to keep the opposition scoreless. Colin Garland, James Frawley and Daniel Nicholson need to be sent back to the VFL to learn how to gain intensity and in Nicholson and Garland's case to improve their woeful kicking. Every player needs to be prepared to defend his playing mates when any physical intimidation is applied and it should be answered with strength and unity to show that the Melbourne FC stand for something. Every player should aim to be as feared as Byron Pickett was when they take to the oval on match day.

Dont take this the wrong way or as me being another Dees fan who accepts mediocrity. I know we are on a long road to where we wish to be.

While I would happily take a win, all I really want to see is effort, run followed by gut running, intensity, support your team mate and no shirking of any contests, everything looks after itself after that.

This is what I expect from my team for the next 21 games

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
