GAMEDAY - ROUND 2

[monoccular 17,443]

I feel really genuinely sorry for Jack Viney and Jimmy Toumpass being dragged into this moribund club....one that seriously appears to have no idea what is going on and where it is heading.

I actually paid up last week, in hope and expectation not of playing finals but at least of playing footy.....haven't seen it yet.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

I kno its his 2nd game but damn its painful seeing Toumpas in 1 on 1 situations

Yeah, he's got no core, is slow, doesn't like the one percenters, but hey... it's his second game.

We got a bloke in Jack Watts who's been doing this for a few years.

What about Dawes???

What was he thinking?

Viney & Toumpas will lose all confidence in their playing ability with all those duds out there.

[Young Dee 1,303]

What was Mark Neeld thinking?

Why is Toumpas in the team? - he is not AFL ready

Why is Trengove in the team? - he is not at full fitness

Why is Gillies playing AFL? - he is a meat head!

Why is Nicholson playing? - he is not an AFL player

Why not give Jetta or Strauss a chance instead of Gilles and Terlich and Byrnes and Nicholson?

Why not upgrade Magner? - someone who actually cares

What's to be DONE folks.

Frawley is shattered. Long chat to fletcher.

[jane02 3,748]

Sadly tomorrow morning I am going to wake up and realise that it wasn't a bad dream.

Frawley tried his best till exhausted from what i saw on tv...hopefully fletcher gives him some hope that isn't a essendon contract...

Biggest loss ever at the mcg by the mfc

[Buffalo 203]

Biggest loss ever by Melbourne at the MCG.

[Tatu 416]

Greatest ever loss at the "G"

[Clark and Dawes 1]

This is my first ever post. I have supported this great club for over 25 years now. I am a west Australian and flew over for the game last week.

I have been a Neeld backer but something has to change now. He is not up to it if he cannot get them up.

Time to go and time for some board members to go also. We need a real leader to step up.

First on the list for coaches - choco Williams.

The worst start to a season can remember from any team ever

[garyh007 112]

It's not that bad I just paid for my premium membership by playing poker on line while watching this crap but I will stick with them oh by the way anyone know of a pill that I can take and wake up next march

[Benson 254]

453 to 262 disposals.....

[Bossdog 2,002]

That's it....I give up.....never again will I go through that crap......I am ashamed that I have been a member for the past 50......No more for me....

That must be what 99.9% of the members are either saying or thinking now.

[Macca 17,020]

Do you mean like how we have managed to turn the club around following 186??? :-(((((

Just when you thought it can't get any worse, it does. I'm just as flummoxed and bewildered as anyone else. I think we're all beyond having any answers.

What makes it even worse is that Essendon aren't even that good.

We'll recover, lord knows how, but we will. You never chuck in the towel.

[Rob Mac...... 638]

How is it possible that we're worse than last year?

Because 1. our coach has no idea of game plan or people skills.

2. We have a nice but unintelligent CEO [which affects little things every day & it adds up]

3. It seems we have and have had so little serious footy nous at any level of the club, leading to:

4. Poor decisions re drafting, hiring coaches & everyone

5. People not realising that AFL is a very serious full time career now. [i was slaughtered by D'land posters when I suggested Martin needed to spend much time thinking about his footy, learning to play CHF & ruck, and less time with the girlfriend and the Law studies etc., ]

I suggested we trade Jamar while he was worth something & keep Martin as 1st ruck this year.

Have a nice day everyone :-)

453 to 262 disposals.....

Yes the (near) 200 difference in the disposal tally is an abosute indictment on our Club. I had to leave at 3/4 time as I felt sure that we were not ging to outscore them by 18 goals in the last quarter [and i was right]!

[Deecisive 1,709]

I have been a supporter of Neeld but tonights game was the same failed plan replayed, he cannot persist with this stupid Zoning, our players just cannot play it. We get cut to ribbons with some many opposition players running around loose. If he cannot change his game plan then he has to go. No point putting it off to the end of the year, the only good that can come out of continuing to pigheadedly play a bad game plan is we get a better draft pick for picking up the wooden spoon and lots more severe beatings. In fact the AFL may need to introduce a mercy clause into the playing conditions, like they have in baseball and other games when sides get slaughtered

[CBDees 3,167]

Biggest loss ever by Melbourne at the MCG.

But the bright side is Essendon recorded their biggest ever win!

[fired up 77]

So what do people think..... Darwin or Tasmania? Hope we get to keep our colours....

We got a bloke in Jack Watts who's been doing this for a few years.

we got a guy named Sylvia who's made a career of it
