I flicked it over to the Richmond game and I turn it back and I've missed the first two minutes. In this time GWS have kicked two. What the hell happened?

Noi more excuses for Trengove

He has been pathetic again today, and he must dominate the last quarter or he can hand back his pay packet

Can you please be our coach. He listens to you.

Without seriously watching it (and the Norf non-effort last week), just glimpses as it's just not worth the effort anymore, our opponents are in the clear by at least 3 to 4 meters almost every time they receive. Meaning they have ample time to make their next disposal/choice/option including kicking for goal. We just give them too much space to work in and don't pressure them out of it often enough. This gives our opponents too much possession early in the match and boosts their confidence ten fold from the get go.

Unable to close check an opponent when we don't have the ball means they are able to run it coast to coast either from the middle or from the kick out with little or no pressure. Not putting in the hard work early means we are chasing tail all day as well. Not in all cases i'm sure there are exceptions but too few to matter. Having too many slackers just deflates the others who are playing a close checking game and working hard to get their own possessions.

I'm not sure why so many are unwilling to close check an opponent once we lose possession (which is alot of the time given our woeful disposal) but those who are unwilling or incapable of doing so must be weeded out and delisted/traded pronto.

This could end up being up to 10 to 15 players off the current senior list but in the end this is reality for us right now.

From what i can garner Craig is pretty uninspiring in his match day selection and structure, as well as whatever it is he's preaching on game day.

I'd say the only chance this club has of ever becoming an AFL competitive football club from here is a new experienced premiership coach and a massive clean out of the present list while keeping a core (8 to 12 or so) who have shown they are willing, capable and/or have super potential to develop.

We're going to lose this now. We'll be the only team to lose to GWS this whole year. I think the 2013 Melbourne team is the worst I can remember watching play in decades. I'm ashamed to be a Melbourne supporter and member today. The club has failed, and even with AFL assistance we're going to struggle to be competitive, let alone win our next flag. I honestly thought 6 years ago when the rebuild had started that we were building towards out next flag and I'd finally get to see one in my life... how wrong I was. We are worse now than ever, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I have lost all hope today and it's very depressing. How did this come to be?

    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,
