Ok, so we have improved, that is no longer in question. But that being the case, surely it makes these absolute capitulations even more inexcusable.

If I hear one thing about the scarred past this week I will vommit.

All against a side with no more exerience than us. There most experienced player plays for us for christs sake.

Didn't take long for Chris Dawes to rediscover his woeful ordinary standards.

We're essentially two men down at the centre taps because Gawn taps to the advantage of the opposition 9 times out of 10 and if the ball somehow ends up in dispute, he doesn't provide a decent enough 2nd effort. I'd put Howe in the ruck.

No opposition too easily allowed to take front position

At first I was really disappointed at this unexpected lack of any way to counter a fast-running Dogs side…but then I remembered what happened to us when we came up against GWS and they finally got their running game going.

The Bulldogs are a hell of a lot better than GWS.

haha omg

More instability, just what the club needs!

it became very clear in that half that there is absolutely no point whatsoever playing Rohan Bail, the guy will not be offered a new contract so what is there to be gained by him playing any more in the seniors. Would rather see Stretch or JKH play.

Just this week Roos said that players wouldn't be gifted games.

I'd say any game to Rohan Bail is a gift.

Can everyone bloody relax? I understand the performance has been woeful but to start saying we haven't improved, sack Roos, our team's going nowhere, same old melbourne is absolute RUBBISH.

We beat the bulldogs earlier on in the year. We have improved on last year and when you put it into perspective the doggies are playing unbelievable footy, flogged plenty of teams this year and are fighting for a top four spot. At this stage in the season as dissapointing as it is, as a professional athlete knowing your effort isn't going to be rewarded with finals footy clearly puts back the mindset to win.

Everyone stop whinging and start looking forward to another big pre-season and a big 2016.

Agreed. I'd take Pig Dog over Bail any day of the week. Bail has well and truly had his card marked after that half of footy.

In the dictionary under Bail it says "n. a deer in the headlights, that lacks a left foot"

lets just win the second half

Jeremy Howe doing his utmost to reduce his trade value for us as well. Soft coke

I like what we're doing, leading them in to a false sense of security....then boom. Unleash.

Like St Kilda did to them.

Oh ffs.

The Bullies are playing for a top four spot and want to keep building their percentage to stay ahead of Sydney. We are a bottom six side with little but pride to gain.

MJones and Bail are playing.

What other result could anyone envisage.

Bail's only advantage over Riley is speed. I think if we were playing a slower team, it would have been different.

Well, I know its a lot to ask, but actually turning up to play a game of football might be nice yeah?

We wait for next year every year. Let's just save ourselves the trouble and start preparing for 2017 now. This is pathetic. I agree we have improved under Roos, but as I said, surely it makes these record breaking capitulations even more inexcusable doesn't it?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
