GAMEDAY - Round 23

Recommended Posts

Tim Watson is a bit special. Talking up how good Geelongs recruitment was last year. Umm, yeah, they got the best player in the comp though free agency mate. That makes it look pretty decent. Who else? Oh, Scott Selwood. 

Yeah. Nailed it.

Why play Weiderman ahead of Pedo? The kid has hardly touched it. Talk about destroying his confidence.

 

Why play Pedo in a game like this when Weeds needs experience against top defenders?

Perspective.

Congratulation Melbourne. 

Not long ago, we came to this ground and lost by 186. That was one of the darkest days of our club, and started what was a horror run towards oblivion. Somehow we lucked out and managed to get Paul Roos to come and save our sorry arses. Yet here we are, 3 years on, and we are finishing off his career the way we started it, by playing gutless, skilless, pathetic football.

What a sad way to finish off what felt like an optimistic season and has turned into absolute [censored] the last two weeks. From finals contenders to garbage.

Pretty funny the people on here making judgement calls on players' careers based on today's game.

Whilst disappointing, today cannot be entirely unexpected. Good motivation for the off-season.

We may have improved some elements but it's hardly a successful is it if this is the litmus

This is not the litmus test but we have improved but it has not been a success ....wait

So why is this the litmus? Why not say the Hawthorn game was the litmus?

No one game is definitive of the season, the season is the litmus and the season has been a success.

It would just have been more successful if we hadn't turned in a disgrace of a performance today.

I disagree with the success mantra titan. You play footy to win premierships. When we do that we have had success. We have definitely improved this year though.

As for next year who knows. Fingers crossed but footy is a brutal game. There's no guarantees we will automatically be a finals team unless everything goes well. Even then we will need a bit of luck also. Oh, and some decent off season trades!

Where have all those posters gone who were saying today was meaningless?

[censored] disgusting Melbourne. Entire season of hope undone in 2 rounds .... Great way to enter the off season.

If you've lost hope after the last two weeks you're kidding yourself.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
