GAME DAY - Round 22

Probably yes, but countless equivalent infractions against us go completely ignored. It's pathetic the armchair ride some teams get.

Hawks getting raped as well tonight because the umps protect Geelong at all costs.

Hey, don't want to make a fuss or blow it out of scale, but really best not to use 'raped', y'know?

Keep in mind this performance comes flat on the heels of a performance our players themselves described as "unacceptable." If this is the response after being embarrassed for the umptineenth time, then where is the pride and self respect?

Where are we supporters supposed to find the passion to keep doing what we do when the players don't want to do what they're supposed to do?

I honestly would love to see a stat for the number of times a player loses his feet, I reckon Jack Watts would comfortably be the league leader.

He would defeat any able-bodied human being on the planet in that particular statistic.

Jack Watts: World Champion Faller-Over.

Yeah, why should I turn up every week and pay for it, when our players don't turn up when they get paid to do it?

I'm so sick and tired of supporting this club. I thought I would never feel as bad as I did last year, but this is a whole new low.

Autum leaves was what we called it.

After LeCras kicked that simple simple goal, you could see that James Frawley has just had enough of this shite. Throws his hands up in the air as if to say "I'm out."

Has anyone else been noting Frawley's performances lately with a kind of accepting sigh, and thinking "Well, he's not our problem any more"?

Email that in to the club, disgusting we contribute good money year after year and get this [censored] served up to us, at least under Bailey we tried to kick goals.

How often do our players run to one side when trying to tackle? Am I the only one who remembers the old method of aiming right at their hips?

Really not much to comment on in that quarter. We were diabolical, the umpiring was remarkable and the Weagles at least understand that you need to put the ball in front of a forward if they are going to mark it. One great play from Watts doesn't undo the crap he's dished up for the rest of the match. Fitz and Gawn both missed sitters. Michie continues to show hardness and game sense, Viney less so that quarter. Lots of nonsensical play from the rest. Fumbles are still costing us badly, perhaps none more so that Dunn's admittedly difficult chance at HB.

Pretty much since round one when we lost to the Saints, then solidified the last time WCE thrashed us by 100 points.

Good to see we've made absolutely no progress throughout the whole year as we back that up tonight with another 100 point loss.

We learned nothing when we played to GWS for the second time this year. We learned nothing when we played the Bulldogs for the second time. We will have learned nothing from our loss to Norf, that'll be abundantly clear next week.

The only thing worse than Melbourne tonight is the commentary team of Brereton and Shaw. Our football is disgraceful, but I won't even try to put my view of those two into words.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
