GAME DAY - Round 21

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
