The sounds coming out of the club this week suggest it was an intense review, as it should have been.

I don't ascribe to the theory that external pressure has no influence. I believe it does, and broader recognition of what is and isn't acceptable contributes towards getting to where we want to get to as a club. Part of that is saying last Sunday was well below expectation.

The acceptance of Melbourne as a perennial failure and disappointment has gone on for too long. I'm thankful we have a voice or two in the media who still care enough to set a higher expectation.

A couple of ill-considered remarks about development doesn't take away from what I interpeted as the main message: not good enough. It's a simple message but also an important one. Never moreso than right now when we are just starting to regain some respect.

 

Yep, fair enough, mate.

Hope Ox gives us the biggest rap of all time tomorrow! 

The boys deserve it after the bake (warranted or not) that he gave them a few weeks ago.

What? You are actually expecting him to say he was wrong?

No, I don't.  And I was not saying he should.  No need to read something negative into people's posts.

Am saying that he should give the warranted praise and recognition. Ox is a passionate Dee who wears his heart on his sleeve.  He goes OTT sometimes but he is also fair.

I wasn't being negative. as a footy player I respect the Ox, as a footy 'commentator' I think he is a headline chaser, he goes OTT all the time in my opinion, like most of the others

Yes he was, there hasn't been a miraculous change, the development was there all the time, it is just the inconsistency we need to fix

We have been down this path before, as a footy player I have the greatest respect for the Ox and how he played, he pisses me off as a 'commentator', like a lot of the others

Entirely irrelevant. 

He was shooting off his mouth at the time and was completely wrong. His career v Saty's is absolutely irrelevant.

I'm not sure why anyone really cares what he says. He obviously gets quoted on what he says in the heat of the moment. On reflection he probably regrets what he says, who knows? He's definitely a passionate demon who wears his heart on his sleeve & for me there is nothing wrong with that. He loves the club & wants it to be successful, I'd much rather someone like the Ox in the media having a voice than a pompous [censored] like Jeff Kennett at Hawthorn.

All right have you got 10 or 20 years of experience as a CEO of a medium sized business, if not then does that mean you can't comment on Schwab?

The Ox chases headlines....my opinion

My point is that The Ox is a one club champ of the MFC who has a right to say what he said. 

On the day the players deseved it

The effort was not there

He played, he now works in the media and answers to the ratings of his radio station, could you now answer mine.

I served in the Defence Force but my opinion for or against bombing innocent civilians carries the same amount of weight as the Ox

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
