We suck

well said YM

im with ya all the way

Most intelligent thing I read for a while. It would be a pity to miss the 8, even though we all know its a long shot. It'll be a summer of "What might have been".

I know we had injuries, but we also stuffed up in the first round against StKilda when we were injury free, but played crap. Also played the same rubbish football against the Dorks in round 2.

But mathematically, we still have a chance.

Ignorance FTW! You're forgetting that the team you're talking about is Melbourne. They'll get on a roll eventually, and then run out of steam. You know that... You also seem to be overlooking the fact that as of 7:30 tonight, we are going to be 0-8. That means to make the finals, we'll have to win 11 of our last 14 games, atleast.

Such positivity is inspiring

It's reality.

No chance of making finals.

What the [censored] was I thinking

I think the finals are out of reach due to our poor %. We would not only have to win 12 of our next 14, but we would have to dish out a few floggings to bring our % up.

Screw finals, i would rather test the entire list and see who has a future at the club. Then use our bottom position to get a good position in the draft.

Lets face reality and start planning for next season.

We're off the bottom of the ladder by 0.1%.

ym you jinxed us, nah i am jk

I agree that we do need to start planning for next year. BUT that does not mean bringing in players who haven't earnt it e.g. Buckley, until they earn it (at least until the last 5 rounds or so and then only maybe bring them in). People keep calling for Buckley to play but he has not earnt it with his performances for Sandy.

Players like Wheatley and Miller who are still young but many have written off, need to be given another chance.

Give the young players in the team more game time, particularly game time on the ball for players like Petterd and Jones. Give them more responsibility.

Don't risk any players with injury. Particularly OP. Moloney should have all the time he needs to get it right. If Sylvia feels anything in his groin, don't risk it.

But DON'T blindly play youth. Play the players who deserve it. If it is between young and old and it is relatively close, chose young. But don't play Buckley ahead of Brown, for e.g., because Brown WILL give us more now, and most likely in the long term. If the young players are going to be any good, they will earn their place. If they can't earn their place at VFL level, how can they be expected to compete at AFL level.

Would love to see Newton ASAP. Even if it means having Dunn, Neitz, Robbo and Newton all in the same forwardline.

And then Frawley once he gets back into the swing of things.

Must keep trying to win. Tanking is a dirty word, and it is disgraceful for people to even suggest it.

Because we are not your average 7th or 8th finishing team

Injuries ahve destroyed us. If we have something close to our best team on the park, we are a top 3 side.

Therefore, if we sneak into the 8 with something resembling our best side, we wont be there to make up the numbers. We will be a legit shot at the flag from the lower part of the 8.

No tanking, no laying down. We must play our guts out to get to 11 or 12 wins. This team is too good to miss the Finals!! Do not let injuries beat us!!

We are not a top 3 side... if you were consider everyteam up and going injury free we would be a top 8 side just....

After todays pathetic performance against the Eagles we are lucky if we are that...

Time for a change.. And Daniher has to be the first one to be shown the door... you are now obligated ND to step down and give someone else a fresh start.
