Love it, yes British Bulldog

And it wasn’t always the toughest kid who won British Bulldog. Skill and smarts came into it.

 

I'm just tired and exhausted. Maybe I was always this way but the last few weeks seem to have really sapped some life out of me. Listening to the DeeBrief poddy right now Caden McDonald summed it up perfectly; it's death by a thousand self inflicted cuts. Watching us lose the same way over and over, watching the same issues rear their head every week without change, watching a game and knowing that we should be in front (sometimes significantly) but we trail by 15-20 points, and just knowing that a team doesn't need to beat us they just need to wait for us to beat ourselves.

Now I was really dirty on Goody earlier in the year and was on the wagon of time for change. I have calmed my stance on that since the 5 wins from 6 run, but he needs to be asked the question point blank by the board; what's being done to fix these ongoing issues that have existed FOR YEARS!

I have no confidence in any of out players to bin a set shot (though Fritta is winning me back slowly). We have lost massive games because of dumb football, ill-discipline, and failing at the basic fundamentals. Now we are at the bottom of the pile for the same reason.

I'm done, as I said I'm tired and exhausted of this. FIX IT!!!!!

There has to be a fining system set up within the club:

  • behinds from within 30m on easy angles = $75

  • behinds from 30-40m no angle = $50

  • all other behinds or misses (out on the full included) = $25

All fines go directly to the Jim Stynes foundation and I would have it be retrospective from the start of the season. I'm sick of us paying our hard earned towards these guys getting paid extremely well, only for them to fail at a basic fundamental part of the game.

How’s this for the most anti Melbourne performance ever:

In the correspondence game last year, we kicked 15.6, had 3 less scoring shots and 21 less inside 50’s… but won.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
