It's all positve

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Our second quarter was below VFL standard today, it was as bad as any we had last year under Neeld.

We just sat back and spectated as they brushed us aside.

Take that out and we win the game, but football is a four quarter game not 2 or 3 or two and a half, it was embarrassing.

Hes entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not

If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

2nd Q was below AFL standard. Enough said.

Game over. TU can rant all he likes.

Hes entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not

Yes, true. But his opinion is often pure negativity without any basis on what's going on with the club.

Ha! I'm the one 'ranting' when you won't even consider the myriad positives this season is delivering?

The 2nd Quarter killed any positives. That is the reality.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

This time last year the game would have been over 10min into the 3rd by them kicking 10 unanswered goals. The fact that we never gave up and fought hard up until the final siren is a step in the right direction in my book.

I actually watched the hole game for a change without being frustrated that they gave up to easily which is all a asked from the boys this season.

Hes just frustrated TU, i am as well

Honestly, what were your expectations for this year? Considering where we are coming from I expected pretty much what we are getting.

Slow but steady improvement, which is what we are getting.

Remember our first five games last year............

[rpfc 28,542]

That 2nd term was Ablett conscience nonsense.

The rest was good. Our brand of footy ain't pretty but effective.

28 I50s to 20 after half time. We are getting there. Too bad Tyson was down and McDonald out played.

Could have won that.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

Wish he'd get a long term injury

...

Go play in traffic

[titan_uranus 25,020]

The 2nd Quarter killed any positives. That is the reality.

No, that is not the reality.

The reality is we are not giving up in games that, in 2013, we would have.

The reality is that we are far more competitive in the middle than we have been of late.

The reality is we are restricting team's scores a lot more than we have been able to in the past.

The reality is that we are coming from such a low position that being in the game with Gold Coast is, right now, an improvement for us.

Yes. But all that gets thrown down the bog with a 2nd Quarter that was put in today.

Watch it again.

There is no excuse for the majority of the side to be in that mindset.

Chance to win 2 in a row thrown away in 30 minutes of standing around.

That is the reality

So should Paul Roos and co just throw up their hands and say "Got nothing for you" when the players ask what they did right?

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

That was quick.

Should have been a free to Jack. His opponent was holding him when he was no where near the ball. He just grabbed him and slung him out of the way. There USED to be a 'holding the man' rule.

You think the players have attitude issues, yet you refuse to acknowledge positives when they're staring you in the face.

Classic.

[bush demon 2,047]

Should have been a free to Watts, shocking umpiring. (get off his back).

[baysidedave 246]

Poor form

edit: from you

it was a horrible comment and deemotivated should be ashamed

[baysidedave 246]

I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

with you on this one, get sick of the 'supporters' on this site continually getting stuck into certain players,, frickin' douchbags the lot of them

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,251]

The "skills" exhibited by Melbourne players was shocking. Continual handballing to players under pressure, poor kicking and dropped marks. GC's skills were much better.

Watts' "tackling" was pitiful.

I also thought that the forward line was way too top heavy.

I'm normally not a fan of Pederson, but I thought he was far from our worst today. Bail was invisible.

Until such time that the Melbourne players warrant my attention, I will devote my interest to anything else besides the club. Bring on the game tomorrow, that will be another classic!

Oh, that'll be a shame that we wont get to read your pearls of wisdom, including you talking about your vomit and telling Frawley to leave the club.
