GAME DAY - ROUND THREE

[Adam The God 30,407]

So you've got Terlich, Bail, Evans, M Jones and Grimes, most of whom play off half back. None of them can kick it and every one of them is an atrocious decision maker. You cannot win games with one player of that sort in your team, let alone FIVE of them.

Oh and Kent has to learn to tackle. Absolutely as soft as butter.

EDIT. Terlich, Bail, Evans, M Jones and Grimes wouldn't get a game for any other AFL team. One of them is our captain.

Agreed. Some signs.

please enlighten me on these signs? Cause i see none.

Actually, Roos stated he is happy with the list.

He can't take that back now. It is his job to motivate the team. Emotion is a key ingredient.

Rubbish. The list is dreadful.

Motivation does not equate to skill and talent.

You're dreaming if you think Roos is 'happy' with the list.

Fmd.

MMM have Troy Luff from Champion Data on air telling us that Melbourne have made the third most tackles ever today, but the AFL site have us well behind. I wonder which one has their numbers backwards?

[Mr Steve 3,820]

I'm off to have a cry. bye guys.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

I am totally empty. I'll go to the Carlton Melbourne game next week. More because I feel I have to then want to.

[DeeZee 7,445]

They scored five goals from our kick outs, nothing has changed at all in this club.

[Undeeterred 3,124]

Wow.

[Sir Why You Little 37,125]

Grimes goes to Casey next week. Unsighted in the last Q.

Spot on.

I feel nothing. I'm going next week out of some sick sense of obligation, but I'm just [censored] over it. I'm over this pathetic excuse of a club. Can't let a bunch of players ruin every weekend. Life is too short to care about Melbourne so deeply!

Jeez...

Exactly the reason so many members havent re signed this year. Myself included. Footy shouldnt be a chore.

[Pates 9,660]

When Evans dropped that mark it was game over and I reckon the players knew it. I'm gutted we couldn't run it out and win, I reckon if we'd got our noses in front some doubts would've crept in and could've got the job done.

We were smashed in at the stoppages by Mumford, and just couldn't get any run going at any point of the game.

Endeavour was much better but that first quarter (much like the saints) was when we played our best but couldn't get goals for effort.

29 scoring shots to 12 is a 15 goal victory by any reasonable conditions. We HAVE not improved, we are NOT more competitive. And we will NOT win a game this year. We WILL finish with a percentage worse than last year. These last two factors were the improvement measures Roos deemed that we could overcome. I honestly believed we couldn't be worse than last year. We are.

Agreed, that dropped mark was just through a lack of concentration and laziness. Edited April 6, 2014 by Clint Bizkit

I don't want to hate on Grimes but he really needs something to happen.
In the past he could get the pill but occasionally butchered it. Now, he doesn't even get the pill.
If Trenners is relieved of the captaincy because of poor form. should Grimes continue like this he may need to lose the title as well.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,233]

Too many players who refuse to attack the contest. Too many players that can't make the basic skills and decisions of the game. Too many players that are ok with losing. Anyone happy with that effort needs to seriously raise the bar.

Game turned after that absolutely appalling free kick to Mumford. Disgraceful
