21-8

Richmond has started well and so has Nathan Brown. Making the non selection of our best small defender look silly.

Sounds like they are going at it harder and delievery into the 50 is lacking

[godees 863]

Tigers up by 19.

[monoccular 17,432]

Couldn't get there tonight, and am glad I couldn't.

What a load of cra@p.

What are they doing???

[monoccular 17,432]

IF the coach cannot inspire and guide the team to win this one he is useless.

Could we be doing worse with Newton on the ground??

Predictably conservative selection.

[godees 863]

Very conservative selection.

I don't care how well Holland played last week. There is NO matchup for him. Listening to the radio and it sounds like Richo is playing all over him. Should have been dropped.

No Whelan. We could use some steadiness in defence.

36 points. Unbelievable. "richmond is killing melbourne" "hard to see a winner for melbourne" ABC radio.

What a joke.

[QueenC 74]

We seem to be looking a little slow and stagnent coming through the midfield.......

[godees 863]

50 points. This is unbelievable. How can they turn up and play so pathetically?

[Geddy Lee 582]

For senior players who are 1000% behind Daniher staying, they are sure doing their best to make sure he goes with this display of nonchalant inspidity.

[QueenC 74]

Try 60+ points !!!

They seem to just want it a hell of a lot more than we do.......

They have been much harder at it both in the air and on the ground, tougher in defence, fantastic tackling, much quicker around the ground,

and the Tiges are opening it up in attack like a hot knife through butter.

This could prove to be very embarrassing if we can't get our stuff together...... and quick!!!

[godees 863]

80 to 16 at half time

OH MY GOD

This scoreline would be terrible against west coast in perth, let alone against a team winless over 11 rounds.

I'm not usually one to call for heads but ND is gone. Yes, it is the players out there playing hopelessly but if he can't motivate them to at least put up a fight, he is gone.

What are our senior players doing? Bruce, Green, White, Robbo, Yze

I don't think they have turned up

melbourne are a disgrace

[Tony Tea 2,809]

Well, I'll probably feel different tomorrow, but here's my half-time knee jerk:

This is the straw that broke the camel's back. The pundits have ummed and ahhed over Daniher's future for a long time now, but after tonight all doubt has been eradicated. No coach can be so comprehensively out-smarted as Neil has been tonight, and hope to keep his job for next year.

[demonique 314]

What the? Well, this just about does it.

After the last couple of games on the up, then to put in an effort like this is simply too much to swallow. Either ND goes or half the membership will. Central command had better give us something to look forward to next season or we will be decimated.

How can we be roosters one day and feather dusters the next? WE are so difficult to follow!!

[Still Waiting 94]

How could the club say anything other than this is not acceptable. ND you must go now as you are payed a lot of money to guide this club to reasonable performances and 2 wins is absolutely not "reasonable performances". For all the losers that say we should not criticise the club I say enjoy your boring, pathetic lives cause this club will not give you any positive feelings of success in its present form.This is the bottom team we are playing and how much worse are we than them? It is embarrassing to watch this crap Neal Daniher! The club is in danger of losing a huge chunk of its membership and corporate support and must make some changes. To the players, even David Schwartz is embarassed , but at least he tried even if he did only have one good leg.

[gOLLy 401]

Ive never left at half time and ashamed i have....but i have. Danners shoulda left at half time aswell. The players just dont get his messege anymore.

[monoccular 17,432]

To quote Derrin Hinch : " Shame, Shame, Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shame - coach

Shame - so clalled leaders

Shame - posers.

They have lost me.

IF ND is appointed senior coach for 2008, I will NOT renew membership and will take up golf, or croquet, or tiddly winks.

[FitZ 0]

Wow... we really suck...

[maximum bob 462]

sack the coach and the players. lets induct some under tens. at least they have heart! we need a new coach, someone who is ruthless instead of mates with everyone. im spitting on my membership sticker now....

[mikeod 21]

Disgusting performance which will see Daniher leaving before the week is out.

Couldn't agree more regarding ND. Think you're being harsh regarding our senior player - at least Robbo and Yze seem to be having a go on the unbelievably rare rimes it gets in our forward 100. Not a typo, I don't think its been in our forward 50 more than half a dozen times tonight.

To be fair, appear to be 18-19 passengers tonight. That said, when you're smashed by a team that has drawn one and lost 10 our of 11, you can't be playing well.

Commentary team of Schwarz, Cometti and McAvaney bagging Melbourne. It hurts when I have to agree with them.

[gOLLy 401]

Yze isnt havin a go. Selfish and soft.

/me gets ready to be flamed.

But Im standing by my word.
