GAME DAY - Round 21


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

I remember the Northey era. We were tough, we scraped for every win. The club stood for something.

Who or what has done the damage?

Tanking in 2007 and the players part of that era. Its cooked us.

At least 7 goals against were from turnovers. Viv Michies having a crack, must be the only bloke with something to play for. The rest of them are collecting a pay cheque but have already clocked off according to Roos. Get some players in that actually give a [censored] about the club & have some pride in their performance. This is a disgrace.

Carlton's top players came out and set the tone and the whole team has come with them.

I can't help wondering, maybe that playing group just has some kind of rage response to former premiership coaches brought into clubs as overpaid consultants?

Hell, if Roos didn't have his reputation behind him, he'd be on the skids right now.

I started nothing. I'm just sick of seeing supporters willing to walk away from adversity. That's not how life or supporting a team works.

I think that after a decade we are in a position to walk away justifiably.

Roosy needs to sit them down and tell every single player that they're playing for their career, we can still win, and we have to win.

put any pressure on carlton and they will cave but we just have to put that sort of effort in.

I guess. You know where the door is. But we are better than this performance - something is not right at the moment but we've registered good wins this year - we need to bridge to gap between our best and our incredibly poor.

I'm not watching, but when you read through the comments, notice which type of players are the problem.

Senior players.

Garland, Howe, Grimes, N Jones, Cross, Lumumba, Dawes, Dunn, Garlett, Watts.

We have a deep-seated, cultural problem in this club, we all know it, and it comes from a bunch of insipid, awful, team-harming 'leaders' who do not lead.

We have more young talent than St Kilda, I will never back down from that argument, but their kids are able to be led by true leaders in Riewoldt, Montagna, Dempster, Fisher, Gilbert, Steven, Armitage - all aged over 25 and who never give up. Same with the Dogs - Murphy, Boyd and Morris are better leaders than the 10 MFC players I've named above, combined.

Roos' job, in part, is to motivate and lift the team, which includes identifying what is going wrong with these senior players and fixing it. He's failed to do that. Two years into his tenure and we have the same leadership and cultural problems. He didn't start the problem, a combination of Bailey and Neeld, back-to-back, did that, but he's not fixing it.

Ok dude i will hold out an olive branch and say sorry for going so hard at you.

I will not, however, say sorry for not assisting to pay for the junk product that is MFC. We are rubbish and deserve to die.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
