no team has had injuries like us.

adelaide have had injuries, yet they have only played 26 players this entire season. that means their starting 22 has been extrmeely stable. we have pretty much played out entire list...

we have had neitz, robbo, moloney, johnstone, green, mclean, rivers, whelan, bartram out for extended periods throughout the season. take that quality out of any team and they will not be competative.

that's not even taking into consideration that for abotu 4 games in a row we had 2 players out of the game by half time, limiting our ability to interchange, resulting in more injuries.

from round 3-6 we fielded a team that could literally not be competative. this was not ND's fault.

the game against the weagles was a disgrace, but 2 weeks previous we were in winning positions. i suspect 'gauca' would be speaking differently if we'd won those games.

anyone who dismisses injuries as a legitimate excuse is the real fool, not someone who sees how they effect a team's competativeness

I think us Melbourne supporters are too used to tolerating shit. We don't owe Neale anything. He has had a ten year crack at it and we are further away from a premiership than ever.

Why do we have to tolerate performances like today for the rest of the year.

I think the key difference in our opinions here is that you believe that by not sacking the coach, we're "tolerating" the crapola performance to date. I completely disagree, I think sacking the coach immediately is a rash and erratic decision that has naught benefit.
