GAME DAY - Round 7

[Little Richard 5,943]

Someone could at least run through Langford for me. He really just has one of those faces...

[Jaded No More 60,201]

Brayshaw is ok.

This is Geelong-esque in it's mega pathetic proportions.

[Demon Dynasty 16,372]

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

We would probably get a few more wins if they relegated us to the VFL.

Dawes 2 marks. Spencer nil.

Just not enough return from our big men.

Looking at the game last night Norf's big men were super for 4 quarters. Ours have no impact at all.

[leucopogon 1,494]

i'd be interested to see the fallout from a big 186 style loss today

[boydie 653]

Peter Moore says a Brownlow hi to you boydie.

Fair point, I'll change the scope to my limetime or say the last 29 years.

[barneymfc 152]

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

yep

[Moonshadow 16,636]

Good to see Pedo clunking a few. Trying real hard, presenting well and going ok for his second game in a row. Can't kick set shots, like everyone else in the side. Play him for a 4-5 consecutive games and let's see what he can do. He's a confidence building player. Rest Dawes, Pedo at CHF, Hogan at FF, maybe Watts returns (dare I say it).

[Deespicable 2,574]

Had to leave at half time because I actually work weekends.

But quick comments from today.

Tom Mc is a monolith at moment and makes our other guys look almost incompetent at moment.

Jack Grimes was having a great day as well - he kept presenting and while he doesn't have weapons, he showed that he still has game smarts.

Col was continuing his strong season.

Have to wonder about:

What are Mitchell, Puopolo applying to their arms that makes it almost impossible for us to stick a tackle properly. Our guys don't seem to be wearing the same oil.

Roosy, whom I think is a super coach, opted for a stack of smalls this week and decided on playing Howey as a forward - which is fine, except that Hawthorn selected four tall forwards - Hale, Gunston, Roughy and even Schoenmakers was up there. So how come just 20 minutes into the game you reailise the mistake and send Howey back to defence. Who came up with the idea of going small?

Sorry, but Jimmy T played his last game - not just for us, for any club at AFL level. He isn't quick enough to play outside and certainly isn't tough enough to be a hardnut in the middle. Don't think he will be traded - others will have watched him for 3 seasons now and they know the issue.

Rohan Bail, who at least provides fight and grunt, also may have played his last game - unfortunately two shocking kicking howlers will mean he bears the brunt of major DL fore this week.

There are oterhs, but what was clear was our midfield is not good or quick enough - losing Viney and Frost is a real bummer because we can't match top teams inside and we don't have enough pace outside.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,961]

Good luck trying to bring in someone like Shiel after this. Why would he want to start losing again!

[monoccular 16,702]

Therein lies the problem - the competition never stops evolving.

We're ducked.

Can't spell. Wadayoo mean ducked.

[frankie_d 1,415]

Ton up

[whatwhat say what 20,466]

Priority pick certain to be raised again.

[Little Richard 5,943]

Good luck trying to bring in someone like Shiel after this. Why would he want to start losing again!

Or signing our own young stars.

[red and blue forever 807]

and there's the 100

[gOLLy 401]

SHAME MELBOURNE SHAME!

[red and blue forever 807]

garlett goal wooo

[Demon Disciple 11,217]

Disgraceful.

That is all.

[Coq au vin 754]

Good call by Dawes earlier this week...

[Demon Jack 6,439]

Thank christ for Garlett. One of the few who can hold his head high.

[reynolds46 823]

we've come along way

[Sir Why You Little 35,357]

This club has not recovered from 186 & the whole tanking period

I now wonder if it ever will.

Make T Mac the Captain Tomorrow.

I love Jonesy but he is not the answer

The club is Dead against any pressure

Thanks Schwaby you put the dagger right through this place.

The jumper means nothing.

[praha 10,575]

First 100-point win by any team this season, right?

[Seraph 1,730]

Imagine if we didn't pick Garlett up for nothing. Where would we be?

[dee-luded 2,958]

Get rid of Howe. Reminds me so much of Frawley

is this the price we pay for allowing our culture to get soft years back before the turn of this century!

all those players who came into this club during that phase before Neeld, have all been infected by that attitude of 'self' & 'soft'...

all those beltings after we had become ingrained 'soft', have damaged those who were at the club at that time.

[beelzebub 22,762]

Ahh back home revelling in the ....

Actually...self medicating with a wine(s)

The only thing I can hang a hat on is that there are a handful of players on the list...injured or unavailable that will make a difference.

Only problem is we need TWO handfuls not one.
