Our forward line is complete puss.

T Mac is a slow, awkward doofus. Weed ain’t ready. Milkshake is badly out of sorts. Trac is a perennial disappointment. Our small forwards are...who are our small forwards again?

What we need is a strapping West Aussie who makes us walk an inch taller.

A day in the life ?

I'd like to join in on the complaining, but I haven't been watching sings 5mins into the 2nd, when we look flat as pancakes again.

 

What's worse is that @ding arrives on Monday, and I need to put up with his ranting when we lose again next week.

Bloody depressing.

The fact that I have so little faith in Goodwin only makes it worse. I hope like hell I am wrong, but god this feels like the beginning of another season from hell and I’m so tired. 

The crap this club continues to serve its supporters and members is a disgrace. 

 

You recall we won two finals last year right?

Why would i rant when i have predicted both of our losses so far. I expected us to be poor.

P.S. lucky for us this narrow ground suits our game plan.

we Need to start looking to next year now. Put players out for surgeries and start the pre season. It already feels like they have written this year off with the amount of excuses already trotted out this puss club

And the worst part? We have not a single good player waiting to come into this side in the near future. 

Lever is weeks away. And other than Lever we haven’t got one player out who will make us a significantly better team.

Couldn't agree more.
Didn't hear Hawthorn and Geelong complaining about short pre-seasons due to long finals campaigns and players off for surgeries when they were winning flags.

Really shocking umpiring performance, how can you block someone from behind?

 

Like every other decision that has gone their way.

I hope we don't hear from Goodwin that "we didn't resemble ourselves".

We did. Huge inside 50s with no result, done out the back again and again.

That's  one of our classic losing modes.

Did I mention no forward structure.

Yes, it's wet.

You hope to get four goals s quarter   Bloody not four goals for the whole game !

16.5 on a wet night.

This is "one of those games" where you can't do a thing wrong if you tried.

We inspire that sort of form in our opponents, such is our limited ability at present.

 

We won't be this bad all year.

This is atrocious, a cannot believe how many of our top players are out of form.  Good night all 

They and we,  all fell for the positive fugazi during Preseason. 

 

And we all made much of the fugazi ourselves,  selling ourselves our own hype.

The players obviously believed it,  and are mentally under-prepared now,  and are playing catch-up,  Re confidence and also fitness,  because I think the Mfc fell into the same trap,  as we have.

If only the conditions were nicer and the match was at the MCG...

We have no efficiency and skill on the outside. This isn’t new, I’ve been saying it for years, but tonight highlights it.

If we don’t smash teams around the ball, we are no chance.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
