GAME DAY - Round 7

[boydie 655]

Play Pedersen as ruckman next week.

Who cares about the hit outs, all are ruckmen are useless around the game, at least Pedersen can kick and mark.

[monoccular 17,642]

Nobody seems able to kick any distance in the forward line

[frankie_d 1,471]

The toump ain't the quickest....

[Melbournepotter 383]

We have problems with just kicking the ball...

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

yes but in the light of 1973-1987, it's hardly a usable quote any more, surely!

That's an idiotic comment.

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

Tacking is pathetic. Local footy standard.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,444]

Hawks are treating us with absolute contempt - they just push off our tackles without raising a sweat and know they don't have to pressure us, just sit back and wait for us to turn it over then sprint forward into an open 50.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Tacking is pathetic. Local footy standard.

Local footy ain't that bad.

[praha 11,253]

We're behind the ball again, literally but also metaphorically.

I think the modern game has gone past Roos.

Our problem in 2011 was that quick teams would destroy us, no matter how hard we defended.

It's still an issue 4 years later.

Our midfield essentially plays the role entirely of tagger. Our mids aren't damaging enough, so why tag them?

We break down coming out of defense.

We become pedestrian whenever a team gets a run on.

Our leadership is abhorrent.

Our skills are deplorable.

We are still a bad, bad football club.

Good luck, Jackson!

[BAMF 4,433]

Well. you would have to think that we will be able to run the 2nd half out. The hawks have run hard all game. And we have barely bothered.

They must tire... and then we will strike! Right? Rope-a-dope?

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Clarkson would be furious about Hawthorn today, they've been ordinary.

We are just less than a football side. Even Dermott is trying hard not to bully us in commentary.

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Apart from McDonald we don't have a single winner on the ground

It's sad that after so many years and so many drafts we are still unable to field a team of AFL standard

[Demon Dynasty 17,130]

Hartung... 15 disposals 1 Goal 100% Disposal Efficiency

Only against us

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Dear Melbourne FC Twitter account,

I'm well aware of the scores. I wish you spent less time telling me how bad we are doing and more time telling me what is wrong with Salem #useless

Kindest Regards

I think Garland has played well.

Garlett has played his role.

Havent noticed Jones much. Tyson has had very little impact on the game all year.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Are we wearing concrete boots, they are running so much harder and quicker than us. It's glaryingly obvious.

Too many out there are a liability, and with Salem and Hogan added to the list, injuries are starting to decimate us. We aren't good enough to be missing 6 or 7 best 22 players.

That's not Paul Roos fault.

Roos is doing a good job with this lot, they are just sub par football players.

We've shanked our drafting the past decade, what do you expect Roos to do with this lot?

The only players that resemble AFL players on our list - are those that Roos drafted.

Vandenberg looks a level above most our other players most weeks.

[What 18,810]

Paul Roos footy is boring as [censored]

How the hell dos he expect to attract members with this [censored]. I wonder if he takes input from Goodwin and McCartneyy or if he thinks hes too perfect with his pathetic 'lets kick no goals every week' game plan

[Meggs 598]

This is duller than last years Grand Final I'm afraid

Love the way Vanders is throwing himself at the contest in our fwd50.

Really working hard.

[JV7 2,375]

Has Tyson had a touch?

Yes, that kick on the back flank where brayshaw was open for 10 seconds, ignored him, put himself under pressure, kicked smothered resulting in a hawks goal. Sick of his shithouse disposal week in, week out

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Our backline is the afl equivalent of the Russian front...

[Samael 560]

high time some of senior players put their hand up tyson jones viv shocking not competive at all

Get fair dinkum Viv has played 10 games and has been given the job on Mitchell. Jones or Bernie should be on him. Stupid match up.

[CityDee 738]

The toump ain't the quickest....

Slow hands too . Arrgh

[ding 5,126]

Cant wait for the usual suckholes to come on here after the game to tell us how we really aren't that bad, and showed some positive signs,Hawks are a good side, we are young and inexperienced, low on confidence etc etc etc.

MFC are not making me regret buying whiskey instead of a membership.
