Around the League Round Three

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Move on from last week.  Yeah, righto, Port are making us look bad... we knew that already.  No need to keep rubbing salt in your own wounds, it's still good to see the druggies getting smashed.

The Toump has had 8 touches as well, although again, none of them seem all that damaging.

Yep, tired at round 2. Going to be a long year for us if that's is their excuse.

Possibly. But if we supporters don't start to get really angry

NOTHING WILL CHANGE

Port doing more for itself and the game in China in one night than Melbourne has in the 8 years it's been trying to build there.

[censored] it. Enough. I'm just going to enjoy the shellacking.

Port are doing exactly what we should have done last week.. very frustrating

Yep Bombers came out again playing with some intent- but because they are complete rubbish port absorbed it then proceeded to run all over them just as we should've done. Disgraceful performance .

Don't be so negative swyl that's another excuse, sorry reason, for the players poor performances

Never thought seeing Essendon get smashed would make me feel so sad... don't think it'll last for too long though.

I don't think Wines has improved much, i mean he started really well in his first year but really to me hasn't improved a heap since then. 

Jack Viney will overtake him if he hasn't already.

Wines's first 2 seasons were awesome, dropped of last year

And Port were woeful last week, absolutely awful. Its making me feel sick how easy this is for them.

Definitely agree. He appears to of stagnated. He looks slow. He isn't finding much of the footy. I am sure he'll bounce back, but it is a concern for Port. If he doesn't bounce back, they are stuck with a one paced, slow mid, who doesn't run both ways, because that is what I am seeing at the moment.

Lol toumpas...

[Wilson7 2,663]

goal to Joe

[What 18,810]

Would Toumpas have been this bad were he drafted somewhere else or has he just been Melbourned?

He is so far from the player who dominated the under age years and the SANFL, but i do think it's far more to do with him, then Mfc

Deer in headlights. I think our awfulness just kind of amplified it.

[Wilson7 2,663]

Lovely goal assist by Joe

He doesn't just move like a giraffe he actually looks like one.

I thought that was his mouth guard to start with...

[P-man 13,366]

Last week will be their best performance for the year. Nothing surer.

[KingDingAling 3,752]

I hope Toumpas does well. I know he cops a lot of heat (I have never been a fan), but I would like to see him succeed. He needs to live in the gym, the guy I am seeing out there is weak, he cannot handball 5 metres, he lacks strength. It is a strength issue, and an above the shoulders issue. He panics a bit. I used to panic when I played footy, so I understand, I only solved that problem after hours of sparring sessions (boxing), and learning how to harness energy and aggression - and to use it effectively. When we are calm, we can see all options, that appears to be Toumpas issue, he panics, and in turn, he does not use the football as well as he could.
