Besides Gawn, Hogan and Brayshaw, there's absolutely nothing that gives me hope for this team.

Lumumba is a waste of space and money.

Watts has restored order and drifted back into insignificance.

Tyson hasn't fired a shot this year.

Surely Jones starts to get disheartened now.

Garland needs a change of scenery.

Dawes - see Lumumba.

Roos, thank you but don't worry about the 3rd season mate.

Bad call, mate. Watts was best on ground in the first half. As for Tyson, he had an ordinary final term, but was good before that.

Vanders was absolurely hopeless today, as was Garland. Viney doesn't do enough damage with his disposals and Grimes is atill a horrible turn over merchant and shouldn't be there next year. Dawes is done as far as I'm concerned.

Harmes wasn't bad though, Brayshaw and Cross tried hard, but everyone else...

Nothing to add.

Melbourne played exactly as they did last week.

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

Worryingly, we've been getting worse every week since Geelong. We need to snap this emphatically next week.

Really?

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

Well , i didnt think of that but that would be a real worry

Edited July 26, 201510 yr by demonique

Just did not play to the conditions.

Agreed. We never bloody do though.

Well , i didnt think of that but that would be a real worr

Well said.

Ollie Wines would have been handy today

It's not as if the club hasn't been given chances

I am not stating this to start an arguement.

It is a Fact...sadly

Wrong decisions bite back hard.

Anyone heard from our President?

Has he died quietly?

Wines, Darling, Sloane, Rockliff

Every club can point to players they should've picked but the difference with this list is that these 4 players were told they would be picked up by the club. Its hard to get closer to picking someone and not picking them than that

Today confirmed that I can't stand Dawes. He is football cancer. Cannot continue to carry him, it's detrimental to the team.

Statistically we had good players today but everyone made 1 or 2 crucial errors.

THE UMPIRING IS NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FARCICAL!!!!!!!! THEY DESERVE NO RESPECT WITH THE CALLS THEY'RE GIVING. PLAYERS CAN DROP THE BALL WHEN TACKLED TO GET AWAY WITH IT BUT THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE TO WIN THE BALL AND HAVE IT HELD TO THEM

We did far too many short, sideways kicks and handballs given the conditions. It felt like rock bottom again today, seriously

If I didn't have to work this week,I would go down to Gosch's and give Roos and the players a spray.

Just got off the ground from playing my own game.

Rushes to phone to get score.

[censored] this football club.

Weak was urine.

Can someone explain why McDonald played forward while Riewoldt destroyed us with his one good leg. Garland was never really a chance to win the matchup.

Same could be said for Vanders. Was played forward today for some bizarre reason. PUT HIM IN THE GUTS!

Actually most of the game nobody was on Riewoldt. He was allowed to float free.

In the scheme of things it's one game of football, a few things went wrong and some horrible umpring didn't help our cause. The result has no bearing on September.

However,

To attract players and members over the off-season (and thus give ourselves a genuine chance to improve), we need to show marked improvement on the field. For mine, that's 7-8 wins. We can't afford to be dropping the winnable ones especially in this fashion. Therefore, we must now beat Carlton (obviously) but also *pinch* a game against one of Collingwood, Bulldogs, Giants or North. Can't see it happening.

Very disappointing.

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.

Aren't we all!

Wines, Darling, Sloane, Rockliff

Darling? I know everyone on here wanted him, especially over Lucas [censored] Cook, but I don't think BP was ever interested. Care to elaborate?

MFC were interested in him. There were articles on Inside Football about it.

Interesting isn't it. We really can't even be bothered to walk to the microwave. PJ was right when he said that the club had lost the trust of the members. Games like today make it nearly impossible for us to trust the club.

Edit for spelling

Of course we were interested in him, we were interested in anyone. But he was never told we'd be picking him, and that goes for the others on that list as well.

Today I apologised to my adult kid's for supporting this joke of a team and getting them onboard!

Shieit do they have to endure the same Mess!??

51 years of OBLIVION!

Can we declare bankruptcy?

Bankrupt for Run

Bankrupt for Speed

Bankrupt for Skill (in fact double Bankrupt)

Bankrupt for Decision making ( including recruiting team)

Bankrupt for Coaching NOUS ( Sheeit Roosy it aint Swans)

Just so freakin Bankrupt!

I am over it!

We've been pathetic since the Darwin game.

Just saying.

We are unwatchable. It's not the defensive focus or the rolling scrums, it's the fact that you just know with every movement forward, we will torch the entry in to 50 and lose it. It's just so bloody frustrating.

Stretch, vanders, Brayshaw and Harmes - these young blokes all add something at their best and have really bright futures, but there are too many of them in our side and when they all fail at once, it leaves too much for too few. It's not their fault, it's just how it is. I expect to see Matt Jones, Bail et al reappear and finish the season out shortly. It sucks, but that's why they're on the list - to take punishment instead of the valuable youth.

I don't know why the selectors bother picking Michie. I'm not particularly a fan, but he is being set up to fail, or so it appears from my bean bag.

Bernie, Jones, Cross, Dunn (if I'm generous). Thank God for these guys. Carrying the side on their backs at present. At least it's not poor old Jones on his own now.

I don't forecast a bleak future based on my most recent memory like many, I've seen plenty to remain optimistic this year. The risk for me is that I die of boredom waiting.

WC have been OK........

We've been pretty bad since the bye. Just like last year.
