Post Match Discussion - Round 17

[hannaman 24]

I know it hurts, it does week in and week out. But tell you what, I love the dees and will be back next week.

[Samael 560]

Did anyone rate Michie being the sub?

How do you rate somebody who comes on after they have kicked 6 to put the game out of our reach. He had

9 disposals, 1 clearance, 2 tackles,1 goal assist and scored a behind in basically the last quarter. On those number he should have been on all game. Might have had a bit of impact.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

You know that's not true Bitter. Deep down you love it even more - like a disadvantaged child. Perhaps membership should be made tax deductable under the registered charity legislatio

I watched this game from the comfort of Romsey Manor RTG. During the third quarter I used alcohol to wash down an additional "atenolol" and my poor gentle bloody dog is still hiding in the bedroom. I'm not wasting my time or energy going to another game this year.

[Return to Glory 8,436]

We're getting worse each week.

The good news is that can't happen next week.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

What a wonderful game that was. I hope they tape it so they can show prospective Melbourne supporters just the type of football our club can put on. We are seriously the best club out there when it comes to handpasses to stationary players, botching kicks going forward, making the wrong match ups and allowing teams to get a run on in a quarter of their choosing that will put the game out of our reach.

No-one does it better guys.

Roos isn't the problem either guys. He isn't kicking the ball, missing a handpass or not running hard enough.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

I have heard that Tyson is carrying an injury and the club told him to drink a cup of wet concrete. He's lost confidence as a result.

[Samael 560]

I rated it [censored] useless out of 10.

How did you rate Garland, Garlett, Harmes, Stretch and Vandenberg?

I've got to admit, I like to accentuate the positive but beyond the season almost over, I'm struggling to find many. I even found myself agreeing with Stuie.

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

We were pathetic today, but the umpiring was infuriating. Especially from Brad Wallace... I wonder if his old man had a hand in him getting the job?

Im sick of people even mentioning the umpiring after an effort like today. Thats like someone p1ss1ng in your mouth and your pointing out that your Tshirt is getting wet.

FFS, there is so much more to be concerned about after today than some [censored] umpiring decisions.

Wait until we are matching it with other sides and the results come down to umpiring decisions THEN we can discuss it. Until then it is just pointless noise

[Redleg 40,905]

We had 77 more hand balls and they had 44 more kicks.

Those 77 handballs ultimately led to turnovers and those 44 kicks got the ball forward quickly, giving the Saints forwards a chance to be one out, or alone and then goal.

[bjDee 1,249]

Sooo shat off at that pathetic .... what .. I can't even call it an effort.

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

Melbourne played exactly as they did last week.

Poor skills, poor coaching and on top of that poor umpiring didn't help.

Exactly! I am one who actually wasn't happy we won last week. In my opinion the win against the Lions helped to disguise some serious issues out of that game. Today those issues had no where to hide

[Deestroy All 14,266]

How did you rate Garland, Garlett, Harmes, Stretch and Vandenberg?

Would be a bunch of censored words really.

[demonique 314]

The AFL should rethink about giving lowly sides very bad match slots , all i can see it doing is keeping them in a spiral of decline!!

Successful teams need competition , and quite frankly you could give them the type of poor timings we get and fans would still flock to see their team compete ..

Lowly sides like us need all the help they can get because without us there would be no successful teams to play against !

Besides that , i do think that perhaps Paul Roos should consider turning his job over to Goodwin because i believe his game style now has gone a bit passe !!

[Pates 9,660]

Dawes should be dropped. He is paid to be a full forward and elected to pop in to the square where all our player were out of position. I say bring in Jamar as our second ruck/forward. Him or Fitzy.

So much for pushing for a big second half of the year, we seem to be incapable of breaking out of negative mind sets once they've crept in.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

I know it hurts, it does week in and week out. But tell you what, I love the dees and will be back next week.

You're [censored] nuts.

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

Does anyone from the Club monitor this site? Deplorable result. 30 minutes later, we are still at page 2. Even the diehards are giving-up! Like most of the players.

Ive been thinking the same thing. 4 years ago, after a loss like today this would be page 23 by now. there is most definitely a serious drop off in passion.

Im [censored] scared that Roos ALREADY has passed match day duties over to Goodwin.

[Samael 560]

Yep!! In fact no one really rated today in my opinion. The 3 word summary for all should be censored.

My family and I did a first today. We walked out halfway through the 3rd QTR reeling from another putrid performance by this team. Right from the get go I sensed this group was going to serve up another compelling reason not to renew costly memberships next year and they did not disappoint.

If the MFC believes it will attract new members to this club they have their collective heads up their rear ends.

The brand of football is putrid, I challenge anyone to say its enjoyable, and unless there is a massive change in AFL football we are not going anywhere folks. This situation onfield for the MFC happens far too often and too frequent for any hardened supporter. The football is rubbish to watch but even worse for MFC supporters who pay to watch this rubbish far too often. This club needs a revolution or die....

I feel for the kids, and fully understand why they would go and play soccer, this rubbish served up by this club does nothing for the game I love.

You have to allow for the post traumatic shock Munga.

[SaberFang 7,151]

To see just how successful the Sydney Swans blueprint is going in modern footy, flick over to that game in Perth.

[Coq au vin 755]

We bomb it into packs. No leads. High up and unders. Do they think it's rugby? Oh no wait rugby players can lay tackles that stick and hurt.

[beelzebub 23,364]

Evening all..home and dry...

What did i miss ??

Not a decent effort apparently

[SaberFang 7,151]

We bomb it into packs. No leads. High up and unders. Do they think it's rugby? Oh no wait rugby players can lay tackles that stick and hurt.

Don't forget bombing it to the goal square where a lonely Saints player was standing waiting for an easy mark. Multiple times.

We are so easy to coach against, we've clearly been found out.
