Paul Roos has taken 23 players up to the national capital today, the majority of who were not on the club's primary list when he was appointed as coach of the club late in 2013. I'm counting the elev

Apparently the Scully family will be sitting in the Eastern Grandstand today. They managed to book it early so all six of them should be able to squeeze in.

This has not been as enjoyable as last week.

This is so sad for us and the players :(

Roo's needs to tear shreds off em :wacko:

Can we turn it around, highly unlikely :blink:

But I am forever the pessimist , at least in my heart of hearts :):):)

Bullsh!t it is sad for the players

STOP MAKING EXCUSES

The PLAYERS control what happens

Roos better tear strips off these soft underbelly players

We were 33 points up minutes before half time

Weak as Pi55

Great punch over the boundary Dawes. 10 yr olds know not to do that. Can't mark, can't get the ball, but can give away stupid frees.

Any of the Dawes lovers who wanted him desperately in this week want to fess up and apologise now?

All day we kicked it to Dawes and he is beaten. He has single handedly prevented us from going forward by losing contest after contest and dropping mark after mark. He is a liability

I said last week that we shouldn't stuff the balance by taking out JHK and bringing in Dawes.

Now obviously today we lost because our midfield got absolutely smashed, but FML Dawes is not helping this at all.

Few were thrashed out of the centre & by their midfield. You can blame Dawes etc all you like but out of the centre is where it starts. Also for those who say GWS are not a good team ...open your eyesv& have a good look.....they are a good team & will do better than GCS this year ....no worries at all !!!

As frustrating as it is ... the gap between our best & worst is evident ... we shouldn't all go into meltdown ...Roos did warn all of us that we are going to lose games ...

It's not losing that is the problem here.

It's being belted (by a side that shouldn't be much higher than us on the ladder to boot) in a way we shouldn't be being belted any more.

It's senior players going missing, again.

It's effort lacking, again.

We don't even have to talk about our poor skills or silly mistakes because that's not the issue, it's the effort, which by now surely has to be non-negotiable.

Conceding 14 goals in a row against Hawthorn is bad enough. But this is GWS.

Have the players been told never to kick long or quickly to a forward?

Very strange. They all seem to avoid at all costs.

But his VCE score was so high

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
