GAMEDAY - Round 23

[whatwhat say what 22,737]

send hogan to full back to play on hawkins to teach him how to play the role.

[barneymfc 152]

no he tries so hard

[The heart beats true 18,123]

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.

[Optimus D 283]

Last least we are consistent. Another Traditional Melbourne send off for a coach.

[Moneider96 1,045]

I swear that missed...

[Jaded No More 68,895]

Harmes. Anothe rubbish user of the ball. If he's best 22 we aren't a good team.

Menegola. Another spud we play into form

[Sir Why You Little 37,030]

Let's now all watch Goodwin's hair change colour and receed...

[Brownie 5,980]

it's a record

[bing181 9,218]

Skills and turnovers kill us yet again, not able to string together 2 or 3 possessions and keep control.

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Is this Roos' worst loss?

[Demon Jack 6,907]

There's the 100...

Yes

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

 

[deestar 159]

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

[Jaded No More 68,895]

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. 

[45HG 1,539]

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!

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

[whatwhat say what 22,737]

disposal of so many players seriously poor today.
