I might reply if I could actually understand what you are saying here.

Fair enough i read it and it was a bit jumbled. The point being is i find it quite difficult to cope with the Media week in and week out so i hope they don't think we are going to cop it.

Ditto.... mumbo jumbo

You can see the disdain that players have for the indecision making process that goes on week in and week out. 

How decisions that are completely incongruous to the whole game except for the last minute pop up and a team loses.

How players do not get penalised for being in the protected zone in one game this week yet last week were, by the same umpire, in a different game at a crucial stage.

How players get regularly warned going over a mark, from some clubs and when others from other clubs do it they are penalised. How angles regularly get changed  to play on and not play on calls

    Tonight's Special Privilege for Collingwood.

     Coll Player puts hand up. Carlton on mark. Player kicks ball after extra seconds have elapsed. All we hear in our games is play on.

    HAPPENS EVERY WEEK

    Heard from confidant that we are all the AFL talk about every Monday or Tuesday. Stop laughing at the AFL, boys.

    Which umpires to do our game and which umpires not to...

    How to catch us unprepared, different rule to be regurgitated and enforced. How cocky we are. How our senior/leaders players talk back to the Media all the time, to the point of no communication for fear of retribution back on the field.

    Bollocks

    If I need to use three words consistent with the thread: Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks

    This thread is a joke.  I didnt see the game but how can virtually every player get a negative write up when one lousy kick would of won the game for us and we'd be sitting pretty heading towards Sept.  Huge ask for MFC to win on the road for the fifth time against the 2nd most in form side over in Adelaide.

    Please stop wearing those ridiculous theme tops. All the teams look awful in them. NRL is laughing at us.

    The AFL has lost its mind over the past 13 years or so. I reckon the rot started with the Meatloaf GF  debacle.

    You write some rubbish but this is right up there. The NRL??? Who TF cares what they think.

    Harsh 3WPA this week.

    Based more on the outcome of the game, rather that the overall actions of the players. 

    Are we sure joeboy hasn't been hacked by Michael Christensen?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
