GAME DAY - ROUND 1

watts went right out of the game and then came back into the game.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Have been a member for over 10 years now and only in my twenties. Hardly a fairweather supporter. But enoughs enough. Only so much people can take and this is my limit. Too many passengers in this team and it's not good enough.

First game under Roos, have fought the game out, no forward line, 2 players out of game....

Give them time

[DoreenDee 59]

And we do need fairweather supporters. We really do. I know im not the only one who didn't just jump on board again this year because of a messiah coach and a practice match win over richmond. Fairweather supporters are exactly what melbourne need right now and a win tonight would have gone a long way in securing that.

[Undeeterred 3,124]

Cue meltdown.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Had a couple but Frawley has been shite tonight. If there's a bad option he'll take it.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Got shut down pretty well as a response for Q1- expected. Dont think they can keep it up

Kicked back because of injuries to the forwardine - expected.

Not the end of the world. Expecting a big last half for us.

Never have I been so wrong

[DoreenDee 59]

First game under Roos, have fought the game out, no forward line, 2 players out of game....

Give them time

First game under Richardson. No midfield, two first round draft picks with no AFL experience? Give who time? Us or them?

[Damo 3,374]

Cue meltdown.

Cue excuses

[olisik 4,060]

Salem instead of Dunstan? another recruitment blunder?

[Sir Why You Little 37,124]

6-15.

Bring me grey goose vodka.

NOW.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

If Toumpas was taken with the last Rookie pick you would say he was relatively good for that selection.

[What 18,810]

What a waste of [censored] time this footy club is

[S.R.J 418]

Is it too early to start a 2014 Draft Thread?

[Undeeterred 3,124]

We're really not a team who can afford to kick 6.15.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

What a surprise another loss in round 1. God I hate being a demons supporter at the moment. Best of Luck Roosy you'll need it mate

[P-man 13,366]

What can you say really.

[Nasher 33,617]

Salem instead of Dunstan? another recruitment blunder?

Yeah, Salem was shithouse tonight.

[olisik 4,060]

6-15.

Bring me grey goose vodka.

NOW.

I actually killed a bottle with some kates watching the game. Finished it off halfway through the 4th

[Hellish Inferno 992]

Wow that was a terrible game. So many skill errors and we panicked big time!! Had no counter for the Saints extra man and press in defence. We really needed Howe and Fitz to stand up and kick 5 goals between them...

[bing181 9,328]

Just not sure what people were expecting. Unrealistic much?

[Undeeterred 3,124]

What can you say really.

I can think of a few things.

[reynolds46 1,266]

exciting news our % is the highest its been for over a year

[olisik 4,060]

Yeah, Salem was shithouse tonight.

Salem is not ready. Dunstan is. I am sick of these project players.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

First game under Richardson. No midfield, two first round draft picks with no AFL experience? Give who time? Us or them?

We have been woeful for years, the players played the game out. Riewoldt was big for them, put A key forward in for us it would have been different.

We had more scoring shots, we choked. If you can't see improvement over the crud we have served up over the last few years, you should give up.

Both teams went hard, something we haven't done for a long time

[Undeeterred 3,124]

Just not sure what people were expecting. Unrealistic much?

Revisionism, much?
