GAME DAY - ROUND 2

[beelzebub 22,230]

Could we witness "186"

probably by half time

[chook fowler 18,326]

We take inept to a new level.

[Chook 14,594]

Does anyone believe me yet that it's the players, not the coach? Dean Bailey, Mark Neeld, Neil Craid, Paul Roos...it's all the same until the players start to lead each other forward.

[S.R.J 418]

Keep this up for a few more years and we won't have a club.....I know it's bad especially that I don't get upset anymore watching us play like this

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

'Scared to try' good description cowboy_from_hell

But you know what they say, the harder you try, the dumber you look when you fail. I fear that gets into the Demon's sometimes.

Sigh, there are some moments where we look competent, but it isn't lasting.

I'd rather see Toumpass try to make something happen when he gets the ball on the run in the forward line rather then handball 15 metres backwards and try to set up the perfect kick again.

[thaipantsman 180]

Cull required next year. Neeld's era set Melbourne back many years and hopefully Roosy can mop up quick.

Spencer and Fitzy don't seem up to the level. Frawley tries and is a hard nut but seems vacant between the ears. Pederson is ordinary at best..........more to come

[olisik 4,060]

We need GWS concessions this year to ever be a chance to get off the bottom.

[What 18,810]

There are 17 clubs that play hard and give a [censored] about their jumper

Then there is the MFC

Why?

There needs to be an investigation into this, and an investigation into why we cant develop our draftees

[beelzebub 22,230]

Me thinks our lil botties are going to get spanked the same colours as our jumpers.

Not going to be pretty

[Bang Bang Bang 5,510]

We're going to set a world record for dropped marks today.

[chook fowler 18,326]

What's wrong with Nate Jones?

[thaipantsman 180]

Does anyone believe me yet that it's the players, not the coach? Dean Bailey, Mark Neeld, Neil Craid, Paul Roos...it's all the same until the players start to lead each other forward.

Correct it's the players Chook. Roos will change it all around next year and target some of the larger variety to compliment Macdonald and Hogan.

[Pennant St Dee 11,336]

Why are our players not taking their chances? Bernie could have kicked that. Someone take the game by the balls and have a dip. We look scared to try.

We lack confidence and its infectious started last week with the missed shots. Forward structure is a serious issue causing several turnovers and nobody wanting to take the game on. They are a good side but they are flat track bullies and will not get complacent. Both quarters we have been caught napping for 5/10 mins and then been competative. Cant handle these supporters saying the players are not trying theres a big difference in skill errors and lack of endeavour

[titan_uranus 22,519]

Not watching, which appears to be a good thing today.

Do we look like we did last year, lacking effort? Or is it more of a skill thing?

[thaipantsman 180]

What's wrong with Nate Jones?

He get's hit in the head a lot. Not much support or protection from bigger guys.

[jumbo returns 6,503]

Complete BS.

Get some more ink done, brother.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Looks like Watts can't be bothered today. Fitzy seems to be able to dive on a pack and that's it. Chippa is having a dip.

[chook fowler 18,326]

Like the look of Michie

[Red N Blue Society 165]

I don't know why I am watching this..its just terrible.

Have we been worse.....I don't know...

[ucanchoose 1,803]

I've stopped watching and am heading out to the garden, where I should have been all day

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

What's wrong with Nate Jones?

i'd disagree, i'd say he is back to his best this quarter. shocking first quarter though.

Spencer is up against it. But Jamar wouldn't be much of an improvement and Gawn is unproven.

Our ruck stocks aren't great. Grundy was a big miss for us. That is where Neeld has hurt us.

We paid overs for the Dawes trade and we will continue to pay for that.

[titan_uranus 22,519]

I notice we've had 19 inside 50s, only two fewer than WC. Is our lack of forwards the main issue here?

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Eagles have stopped. We are going around in circles.

It has got nothing to do with development, you cannot develop spuds.

When Roos sees his contract out, hopefully this Quality Vs Development debate will be put to rest.
