can't believe I was strongly considering the trip up to watch this game .. we have been putrid.

Neale bullen is nowhere near up to afl. Him and Newton are the typical Melbourne player. Look great in the 2's but can't step up. Unless hogan learns how to kick I don't care if we lose him. 

Harsh on Neal Bullen. 

Newton is a placeholder.

[Steve13 457]

Whatever spin you put on it this is pathetic. Young, tired, out coached, lack of effort, Alice Springs...pathetic. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Hogan would be an elite if he could kick straight but his kicking is close to atrocious.

I felt like half our players didn't even try today. I think us supporters should feel let down. We know we wont make finals now.

Well done Max. Watts needs to be more consistent as does garlett. Kennedy and tyson absolute shockers. Not a few young players looked out of place.

I hope MFC pack in the NT games....we never win them its almost as bad as ETHIAD

Its official ten years without a finals berth

[praha 11,240]

Wines > Toumpas

[Ethan Tremblay 30,898]

Just disappointed. 

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

jesse hogan - levi casboult. both them are fantastic contested marks

[Jaded No More 68,967]

Newton. Done and dusted. Thanks for playing. 

[Samael 560]

Okay we don't look like we will pull this out of the fire. And there is another one. 

[Die Hard Demon 1,224]

is the problem the coaching ? or the complete lack of effort ? 

[BAMF 4,360]

Crowd loving Port. It's time to ditch this deal.

[DSP 1,488]

Ugh.

STOP IT

[Gorgoroth 12,975]

Has a leader stood up yet...

 

Nope... Normal Melbourne then. 

We are fast becoming down hill skiers. 

[olisik 4,060]

I actually don't think we are any better then last year, we have just had a good run.

We are yet to beat any in form team. Until we can beat top 8 teams we don't deserve to be in finals

[Soidee 1,496]

The coaches and club should be called out on going to Alice Springs.  The Club for making the decision, the coaches for a game plan that has more holes than Swiss cheese.

As for players....they are likely to lose the next 5 games . Players should have been up for this one but now won't be singing the song for a while.

[Jaded No More 68,967]

The lack of effort in the last 10 minutes is unacceptable. 

[Age 485]

Good coaching is having a game plan that suits your team and gets the best out of them. We have a gameplay that whilst I think it is shithouse, requires us to run hard to defend. That run hard bit, making an effort and caring is something we never seem to do.

Yep. Shows our weakness. We need smooth outside player with good pace and footskills.

Instead we are playing Newton on the wing.

[Coq au vin 755]

This team has no defensive structure whatsoever today. They are slicing through and going over the top over and over again. The tackling and skills are abysmal. Turnovers, dropped handballs, dropped marks even when there is no pressure on the receiver. Disgraceful.

Just too young, we can not cover when 8 or 9 are off the boil. 

[Samael 560]

And Jones has done his shoulder.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Is that a record for out the back goals?

More scores out the back than bbo at the local bowls club

[Jaded No More 68,967]

Oh good now Jones is injured. 

This game just keeps delivering.

Which team can?
