sorry I got carried away with the post. Just a big Nathan Jonees fan.

From Whispering Jack:

2nd Quarter:

Melbourne 7.4

Kangaroos 10.6

Inspirational goal from Davey

Get in line........

But seriously is there a line? How long is it?

20 down already

We will get flogged

It seems like we start games reasonably well, but drop off after quarter time...

Not really good enough to only be competitive for a single quarter. Cannot be playing constant catch up football.

Will see how the players react.

The problem is there are no excuses this week. I just hope we can come back.

Bruce, Rivers, Whelan, Bartram?.......Oh and Wheatley

Haven't heard from Whispering Jack for awhile. Must not be looking good.

Not a good sign.

From Whispering Jack:

1/2 Time

Melbourne 8.4

Kangaroos 11.7

Sylvia and Brock played a lot better that quarter. No one really playing that consistent. Jones, Davey and Wonaemirri playing well.

Bruce, Rivers, Whelan, Bartram?.......Oh and Wheatley

Yeah i suppose, but other than Bruce will we be able to depend on the others early in the season considering their interrupted pre seasons.

Kangas are missing only Jesse smith and sinclair from best lineup and are treating this as a warm up for round one. We wouldn't want to lose but a loss by under 2 goals wouldn't be tooo worrying

Hope we can get back.

Know who kicked the last goal of the qtr?

Carn dees!

From Whispering Jack:

3rd Quarter:

Melbourne 8.4.52

Kangaroos 14.7.91

Kangaroos have kicked the first 3 goals of the quarter. Not looking good.

hmmm, Not good news.

The start of every quarter has left a lot to be desired.

Its not really good enough. Our midfield should be stronger than theirs.

Poor effort

dunno how you can say poor effort when you're not at the game

6 goals down seems pretty poor

emphasis on the word 'seems'.

North 15.8 (98)

Melb 8.6 (54)

now it emphasises poor

6 goals down seems pretty poor

Make it 7 - 98 to 54.

3rd Quarter:

Melbourne 8.6

Kangaroos 15.9

According to Whispering Jack, "We are officially a rabble!"

The season cannot come around quick enough for us. While it's ok to say we are still learning to deal with new game plan's and young players and testing depth, i am sick of losing, it seems to be a culture we have embraced of late.

I for one am very dissapointed with our pre season form, no wonder no one rates us or takes us seriously... i'm a little over it actually!

This third quarter tells me about as much as I need to know.

We have probably our strongest midfield playing and we're being destroyed - as we have been for the last 4 weeks.

Not good enough.
