i want an apology from the club

[pineapple dee 2,892]

I walked away from my seat just before halftime last week. I had to regain my equilibrium somehow so i blotted out of my mind the scenes I was watching a minute earlier.I walked past a rubbish bin and half hanging out of it was a Melbourne FC lanyard which I presume was attached to a membership ticket. I tipped the whole thing in the bin because the sight of the bloody thing tossed away but partly visible like that was too much to bear. Frankly it was the tipping point in a. hoorible day

The bin was choking on it, trying to cough it up.

Well they can't move the whole team on...

Jones, Watts, Grimes, Garland, Dunn should all be put up for trade. It should be a KPI for Roos and the list management team to trade all of them. Their ineffectiveness during a match drives the rest of the team.

I seriously think a team led by Vince, Brayshaw, Hogan, VB, Petracca, McDonald, Salem is infinitely more attractive than the current boys club from the Bailey and Daniher years. Look at the Bulldogs.

Seriously, if there aren't major changes and legitimate talent brought in, then you have to question the viability of the club has a whole if it can't attract players.

The players that are still with us that were at the club in 2011, the year of the 186 loss to Geelong, should be considered for trade.

Here are the 14:

N. Jones

*Watts

Trengrove

Dunne

*Grimes

*Garland

Gawn

*Howe

Jetta

**Jarmar

*Spencer

*Bail

Fitzpatrick

T. McDonald

* may have trade value

** may not have much if any

All others in bold print should be persevered with IMHO

Lou, seriously what has a loss to Geelong in 2011 got to do with players we keep next year. It is as ludicrous as Geelong saying they will hang onto every player that played in that same game.

Judge players on what they have done and can do. Not in whether they played in a game 5 years ago.

Nothing has changed in 5 years.

It just so happens that these players (marked with an asterix) are the ones that continuously play and let us down when the chips are down.

Coincidently they are from that era, Is there a connection? Maybe ,maybe not!

Mongrel, I wish you'd change your avatar. Every time I see it I think I'm about to read a BBO post. Most disconcerting.

Yes Dee-vina, I imagine it must be a terrible let down to be trembling in anticipation of unwrapping one of my literary gems only to be disappointed at the denouement.

Lacking vision with this post, unless of course you're being facetious.

Nope, so we beat a few reasonable teams for the first time in years. It would have to happen sooner rather than later

Completely nullified by losses to Carlton and Essendon.

Same old shite.
