This bloody club just when you're ready to microwave the membership, they do something and make you think all is not lost and the future is promising!!

How dare you blame him! He can't help the lazy approach and mindless skill errors. He gave them a huge serve at the huddle, if they don't come out harder now they may as well pull a Murray Newman, heap there bags and go home.

Who should I blame for dropping a spare man back then? I agree that the players are being lazy and making horrible error's, they have done that all year though. My point was not how the players were playing but the way the coach was coaching. ie dropping a man loose in defence in the first 10 minutes of a game. I think Craig is great for player development but as a game day coach I don't rate him very highly.

Well he's kicked one now. Happy?

Contested possessions 18-7 to us in the last five minutes. That's good at least.

Inside 50s 6-7 their way this quarter. So at least that's an improvement too.

Ecstatic thanks Titan.

Agree, I hate the loose man in defence and I'm sick of MFC coaches (Bailey, Neeld and Craig) resorting to it as their routine plan B. It's pathetic and gets us nowhere.

Watts is competing and having a dip, more than anyone in our midfield

Still not giving 100% though - not attacking marking contests and just hugs the opposition instead of tackling them.

We have been rubbish, but the umpiring has been woeful.

Listen to Allister Lynch the [censored], it was a clear throw, FFS

Such a [censored]. Was going on about how great Thompsons defensive work on Fitzpatrick was. Suppose the fact it should've been a free was irrelevent.

Disgraceful garbage this mob serves up too often. Screw this club!

Byrnes you absolute loser.

Stop diving in the back of the North players, Melbourne.

How fat is Pedersen!

Grimes just went off his nut at watts. Screaming that's twice. Was after a missed tackle I think.

Sounds silly given the game, but those misses from Gawn and Jones are going to hurt. We had a tiny bit of momentum at that point, and from what it sounds like, they both should have kicked those.

North then goes inside 50 twice for two goals.

Now a 50 metre penalty against Viney which Leigh Matthews says is a bad one. Standard.

I've had it with Trengove. A midfield captain with 3 touches isn't even a joke.

Yep! My patience has run dry with Trengove. Drop him, I don't give a stuff if he is Captain

Desperately needed Jonesy to kick that goal before. Against all conceivable odds it would have been a 6 point game.

How fat is Pedersen!

I only wish I was that fat.

Yep! My patience has run dry with Trengove. Drop him, I don't give a stuff if he is Captain

hasn't played a good game since 2011.

About the only positive we can take at the moment is that we're only 25 down. We turned on for about 3 minutes in that quarter and managed 2.2 whilst North played a lot worse.

Obviously playing well for 5% of a game isn't good enough, but if we can improve in the second half, the margin isn't prohibitive (especially given it's North).

More likely outcome is North kicks straight and we go down by 70, but who knows.

Getting beaten in clearances 15-24 and contested possession 55-72. Those have to improve.

Sam Blease 1 possession

No idea why anyone rates this pretender

Pathetic, disgusting, hopeless. What other adjectives can I think of?

Pederson is the biggest liability on a field I have ever seen, which says something when I watch guys like Blease do nothing week in week out.

Can't even begin to understand what the hell today is. It's seriously a mess.

hasn't played a good game since 2011.

wonder if port or crows interested ?

Umpiring is absolutely disgraceful

Sam Blease 1 possession

No idea why anyone rates this pretender

Where is he playing?

9 disposals in the last 6 quarters he's played.

Not good enough.

This is taking us back to early 2013, we are pretty average today.

Anyone who argues that we don't need a PP doesn't live in the real world.

We need a priority and we need to trade it for a ready made midfielder, somehow, somewhere.

I'd be into Ollie Wines ear and I'd be given Port our pick 2, they can have Aish, we haven't got the time to develop much longer.

We really are pathetic, as sad as it is to say.

Why was a free kick paid against us when the North Melbourne player refused to get off Viney? Surely pushing him of our player was reasonable?
