The Road to Adelaide Oval - Round 3

I know I am captain cynical at the moment, but does anyone else get annoyed at when players talk all glowingly about their mates on other teams.. when we are about to play them... days after a pathetic loss... they are the enemy, you shouldn't be talking like that. You should be a ruthless melbourne footballer first and a mate of the enemy second. The whole tone of that interview was like 'yeah we'll have a go and see what happens" very casual, which is exactly what we see from the side periodically and with dire consequences. Just thought i'd throw another log on the negative fire

Not at all, I actually thought that interview was the best we've seen from the players this year. Felt like just a couple of blokes having a chat, Bernie was being honest and actually talking rather than just spitting out the normal cliches.

really dislike the fact he is saying we played two good quarters last week. For starters, we didn't, but more importantly the game as a whole was such a disgrace the senior coach should not be shining any positive light on it all IMO

You spent the summer seeing positives in the close losses we had and convinced yourself that this team was not a disgrace and that we could turn those losses into wins, then last week we were 4 goals ahead at HT and you can't take a positive from that?

That's the incongruity I can see.

EDIT: 'Incongruity' why do I have to be consistent? They came out and played a horrific game. Why would that not alter my outlook? I would be insane if it didn't

We were 4 goals ahead at QT because we weren't playing anyone. After that it was the Mark Neeld show starring Chris Dawes and Colin Garland

I am amazed we have graduated from the nonsense of the last few years where we can be so blase about keeping a team goalless and being up by 4 goals away from home...
