GAME DAY - Round 7

[jumbo returns 6,741]

I have come to the realisation that we are never going to be a competitive football club. We are too far gone.

Therein lies the problem - the competition never stops evolving.

We're ducked.

[rufus 1,162]

I only follow the scores for two reasons these days. First, in the hope of seeing a goal kicked so we don't go through a match without scoring any at all. Second, in the hope that we do not lose a game by over 200 points. Both will happen soon but at least we seem to have avoided both again today. I don't expect these guys to compete because they quite simply won't.

An apologist culture where competing is not the highest priority. We do not belong in the AFL and will not be there in 5 years time.

I'm so bored

[leucopogon 1,519]

It'd almost be worth delisting everybody and starting from scratch, is that even possible? We need to cut out whatever cancer has infected this club

Win? Are you [censored] kidding???

How about chasing and tackling. And manning up when we don't have the ball???

We can't/won't do the basics. They are a pea-hearted bunch of losers.

Watts might be smarter than we give him credit for.

Asking to be dropped this week might have saved him....How pathetic we are as a club.

Yep. Time to go fishin me thinks

Look out, bruise free football is back!

That is a scary thought Ethan but, unfortunately, is now worthy of serious consideration.

[monoccular 17,607]

Dawes 2 marks. Spencer nil.

Just not enough return from our big men.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

I'm not sure how N.Jones gets away from getting a lashing from this site.

Because when Ablett has a sore shoulder he gets to take a well paid holiday. When Jones has a sore shoulder he's expected to continue to lead a midfield full of crap players.

[Earl Hood 6,122]

Getting the base tan for the hipster holiday, Earl?

Yes off to Noosa soon! Can't come soon enough.

[leucopogon 1,519]

We'll be bottom 2 again this year for sure

[dee-tox 4,835]

The question how many Melb players would get a game with Hawthorn. There are not too many. McDonald and Garland only.

Disagree Jaded... Sorry

[frankie_d 1,471]

Really feel for garland. Had a dip all day.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Nothing good comes from Collingwood.

Neeld, Dawes, Lamumba...

Peter Moore says a Brownlow hi to you boydie.

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,604]

I don't understand how we have had so many high draft picks and still have one of the least skilled side in the HISTORY of the competition. We are a debacle!

I didn't expect to win but at least keep it to a 10 goal loss!

[leucopogon 1,519]

Back to auskick for you Garland

[The Hallowed Turf 95]

Insipid stuff but the AFL did us no favours at all in piling on these three games in a row. Confidence will take a hammering from this. If you want a competitive Melbourne, this isn't helping.

I wouldn't blame the AFL fixturing. We would have had to play them at some point. I'm just sick of being uncompetitive against the better sides. When does this crap end?

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Cross has taken some nice intercept marks. Disposal not great though.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,368]

Jones just shaking his head at Howe

Howe can [censored] off - useless footballer, drop him to Casey and see what we get for him in trade week. A 3rd round pick would be about right.

And to think GWS offered pick 6 last year!!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Brayshaw injured. Hobbled off.

Not sure if knee.

FML.

It ends when the league finally puts us out of our misery and we fold/merge/relocate. And when that day finally comes, we will have nobody to blame but ourselves. In a strange kind of way i hope it is soon, if only so i can stop feeling so [censored] bad every weekend.
