Post Match Discussion - Round 21

[peasant 62]

Must admit I thought we were half a chance when Carlton ran on to the ground to In The Air Tonight. Clearly I underestimated the inspirational powers of Phil Collins.

That is disgraceful

[gOLLy 401]

Jones, Vince, Dunn, Garland. These are your leaders. All played like they were scared of making a mistake or didn't want to be there.

A disgraceful, abhorrent effort. There's no pride in the jumper or seemingly even personal pride.

The lack of effort for the majority of the match is unacceptable. Poor old PJ has an up hill battle next year with membership. I've already renewed mine, but I no longer begrudge those who don't.

I'm going a armchair membership next year and investing in Foxtel instead.

[The Stigga 974]

Why doesn't Saty/Dr Who post here anymore?

[JV7 2,339]

That is disgraceful

Your joking surely ?

[whatwhat say what 20,299]

yep, i'm the same. why bother buying a real true dinks membership.

armchair and set the attention span to 'ignore' as this team is too pathetic to bother with.

I'm downgrading from even this package

[Ethan Tremblay 28,777]

At least we've been told we're playing finals next year .

Heads up fuckas

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Roos was out coached by Malthouse, no shame in that he's a great coach.

[ucanchoose 1,807]

Your joking surely ?

No......

Do it in private.......... Don't show your pea heart to the world

[grazman 6,730]

Luckily list management decisions are made at the end of the season and not after insipid performances like today... having said that I think Roosy might need to reevaluate whether 7-8 changes will be enough. So much damaged goods. You can't turn your culture around with players who have split peas for hearts. Cut hard and draft and keep drafting. No point trying to trade for talent, no player with any credibility would want to come to the MFC - we're such a joke.

The end of this year will see some players leave/get cut/traded.
I will officially fly back to Australia from Japan and picket AAMI Park if it's a group of 10 fringe players again.
We think cutting 10 depth players is some revolutionary statement that we are somehow 'serious'.
If we are legitimately serious, then sadly Jack Grimes is gone as is Jeremy Howe. He has improved this year but I would say Watts too as well as Colin Garland. These are the blokes who should be the core of our team. Sadly, they let us down too often. We don't need the mother of all clean outs. We just have to make the actual moves that we make count.
We also need to stop thinking that the next Sam Mitchell or Josh Kennedy is in the next intake of players. Stretching back to the start of the Neeld era, we seem to think that we would be able to recycle players or find rough gems. Enough of that. Mitchell and Kennedy are the exceptions, not the rules. Vandenberg is the only one of these players I can recall us getting who has paid off.

Terrible effort today, some on here predicted it and I thought no way. End of year trip.....North Pole.

Enjoying your cynicism ET.

[Lucifers Hero 37,520]

If our players cannot be bothered when they play the bottom team imagine the carnage next week when they front up to the No 1 team on their turf...will get very ugly...

The last two weeks have put daggers deep into a demon heart and next week may well be the fatal blow....

[beelzebub 22,705]

We can obviously play when we feel like it.

Frustrating loss. They are pus and we should have won, but we clearly couldn't be stuffed in the first half.

This wasn't a game of seeing who was the best, which is why I was bored before it began.

i seem to remember some clever clogs calling others who thought those who thought we could could lose to Carlton as negative nancies or some such..as surely we would win THIS one.

Wasnt being negative Nash...just realistic. We're shlt

So a bloke organizing something on his holiday is the reason for the clubs performance today, is the reason we laid 5 tackles in the first quarter ? For starters he wasn't even out there today and was among the best in the VFL... Think we have far bigger problems then a fringe player booking into an event on his holidays Edited August 23, 2015 by JV7

[Jerry Lundergard 401]

I think the "trade Jones" calls are a bit harsh, but I do think he and Vince should no longer be walk up starters in the center square to start games. We are getting smashed in the middle early in games with them in there and we need to change it up.

[sam in sydney 14]

_All

_{Were paying the penalty for poor recruiting from Craig Cameron & Barry Prendergast}

_{Why cant Grimes & Howe , Watts stay on there feet}

_{This is the lost generation of Melbourne supporters}

_{Whilst im on this horrible ride}

_{Bad admin & board members for 2 Generations}

_{SHAME SHAME SHAME}

[Dee-licious 1,867]

What is with all the Grimes and Watts hating this week. There are 18 players in the gun before these 2.

If you were called that, it wasn't by me. I've hardly been on this week, didn't have the energy for it after the debacle last week.

[What 18,810]

Actually they should be made after games like this

If players cant perform against a three win team with an interim coach what hope in hell do they have of taking us into the finals?

[Demon Jack 6,397]

Is that flu still hanging around the club? Seriously, that first half was as bad you will ever see.

[Dee-licious 1,867]

He was barely there (if at all) all day. Jones went forward, Vince went back. It was Newton, Viney and (rotating young mid).

[KingDingAling 3,683]

I didn't watch today, but I did flick it on to see the score before half time. ANB had just gotten subbed on. Considering he'd only gotten subbed on before half time, he had reasonable stats the young kid, and scored plus 65 in supercoach. He is going to be a player, I am pretty excited about ANB.
