I have but one thing to say

ARGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Watching this is more painful then having a tooth Pulled with no Anesthesia

Bye ,Bye NEELDY it's either that or we basically sack the whole team!

Oops sorry we have already done that , haven't we.

The worst part is watching those Hawthorn Mongrels walking of the ground with the smug looks on their faces .

I look forward to day we as supporters can also be smug but that's a long, long way away sort of like the Never Ending Story!

 

Frawley is a selfish [censored]. Only cares about his own man, had a perfect view from my seat of him letting Smith run into an open goal, just so he could stop Franklin. Apparently commentators talked about it too. Good

It's called survival, it's what happens when a team has no confidence. Frawley & Garland have been holding back the tide for a few years now, people were talking of 10+ goals to Buddy today, well I don't blame him. He's had enough trying to cover for everyone else.

Watts must go.

Can kick, can mark.

Can't compete, can't win his own footy.

We cannot carry players who want to play on their own terms.

Trade for a midfielder at year end.

He has been deplorable.
 

Aside from one miss he has had a blinder in the first half as our only forward. I am obviously watching a different game.

I'm watching the same one you are 'Redleg', he's been good I reckon.

Yes but it's very depressing that our star recruit is so bad in kicking for goal. Tho absolutely thrashed we should be 3 goals something

The problem is the poor bastard has to nearly play in the centre to get a kick.


If Paul Roos or Bomber Thompson were coaching us today it wouldn't be any different!

The most basic stupid mistakes made by Bail,Jordie,RODAN,Joel Mac,Fitzy are because they are NOT AFL standard.Not coach related just dumb decision makers executed with sub standard SKILL.Those 5 should not be playing AFL football.

SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly right. There is no quick fix. Even culling bail, rodan, Mckenzie etc still doesn't guarantee immediate improvement. Unless we replace them with pendlebury, Thomas and fyfe. If everyone could grasp that, we could all wallow in despair together.

And what the hell is watts doing?????

If we are to be competitive they can't be in the team.

Dumb post. All the commentators said was Frawley "didn't make a decision". He was left two defend two goal kickers, where was Smith's man?

Smith's man is the problem and the reason for the goal but you can't be impressed by this effort. Frawley seems to have lost his desire to do anything but defend his opponent. I don't particularly blame him but it doesn't say a lot for the culture we are trying to build.
 

Looking forward to punching the first work colleague who stares wrongly at me tomorrow. Defence - Melbourne supporter

Our Top Draft Picks $cully Trengove and Watts cost us a $500,000 fine.

Says it all really.

The whole building should leave tomorrow after the Board meeting.

Peter Jackson. Bring in who you need to work with.

Never complained about anything but his goal kicking.

Clark nails almost every one of his limited opportunities and I know we can't compare most players to Clark but that is his job.

He has been good at everything else today.

Just pouring my first Scotch now. Probably should have started yesterday.

Well done Dawes. He's been close to our best along with Jones today.

Anyone got anything to say bout watts coming on like he had measles and avoiding his teammates?

He went back in the rooms after speaking to Mission. I assume he went to get re-strapped or injected.


I reckon there is enough talent for us out there. They just don't have a game plan.

Mitch will make a huge difference

And Grimes and Viney.


I hate Hawthorn.

Just pouring my first Scotch now. Probably should have started yesterday.

I started last night RTG!!! U r a bit behind.

how many goals do we have to lose by to get a new coach??

What a great contributor you are... not one single positive post. Time to change your name to Glumpse.

If you reckon Dawes isn't worth it, just watch his last few minutes. Absolute hard worker of the highest order. Sure he has missed a few today, but he has set up so much and provided such a great target. The new coach can rest assured knowing Clark and Dawes will work bloody well together.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
