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.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
