Yes I left at three quarter time, because this disaster hit at the core of what I would imagine drives every supporter of every club. HOPE. I am 65 and believe this rebuild of the rebuild is already destined for failure so that we are now on a 10 year plan. That is when Hogan, Grimes, Viney, Toumpas, maybe Trengove....will be the core of the future with years of experience and aged approx 25 to 30. That will make me 75 with more than fingers crossed.

The fact that Sellars, Byrne, Gillies, Roden can hardly crack 10 possessions is ridiculous. They are meant to change culture at the club. Maybe on the training track, but not on the field. If we go down by 150 points with them in, then I don't want it. Playing them is treading water.

I want to go with an ounce of hope. Matt Jones and Terlich at least provided this.

I want to go back to watching the young kids even if they don't get to many more kicks than the retreads have been getting.

I'll be there next Saturday, but give me a reason for hope. I'll take any loss a lot easier with reason to HOPE.

Give me a reason.

I'm with you Harrison and not just because I too am running out of time. "Retreads" is right, they can be a dangerous choice.

Time to ditch the Steels, go for some lightweight Alloys and maybe some Toyo R888s or Bridgestone RE50As.

I don't disgree with this but if we 'Go young' but we may not win a game in 2013

 

If we play young players and have a real crack I am not sure too many people will mind. The first point is valid. Losing by 150 with recycled players is just dumb.

With the apparently favoured group, unless there is a hardly-predictable and massive turnaround, a winless season would have to be on the cards.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
