3rd Quarter:

Melbourne 9.7.61

Kangaroos 17.9.111

Goal to Colin Garland

im trying to remain positive but i thought being the last praccy game we would have treated it like a dress rehearsal for round 1 so to say...

26 shots at goal for the kangas...well thats scaring me...

50 points, nice.

What frightens me is that I think we WERE treating it as a dress rehearsal...

And this is all we could come up with...

It's going to need a huge turnaround to even be competitive against Hawthorn, even with their missing players.

3 1/4 Time:

Melbourne 9.8.62

Kangaroos 19.10.118

When asked if there was anything else to report, Whispering Jack replied, "No!"

Disheartning, disallusioned and really disapointed.

very disappointing result... while our backline was missing some players, our midfield and forward lines were almost full strength...

neitz has some sort of shoulder injury as reported on SEN, although he has come back on

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!

Agree. I've been saying this all along. Playing all the kids in the NAB Cup was a cop out. If anything, Geelong should have rested all their senior players. Our senior list needs to grasp the new game plan more than the kids.

We continually lose, then we wonder why our membership is poor.

it almost feels that we dont want to win this match!

I honestly dont think our list is that bad, why are we playing so crap?

NOt one win in any match and didnt really look like it, it's not losing that is getting me p!ssed off, it's the way we are losing.

Just got Melbourne $5 for the wooden spoon. Easiest money Ill ever make...

i'm not giving up...but my mate might be interested in this odds..

rollon Season Proper.. then a loss is a REAL loss !! lol

I'm out, going to have a beer and kick the footy with my daughter, her enthusiasm would nt go astray in the current list...and she is only 16 months old.

Melbourne [censored] me at the moment...

I'm generally very positive during preseason, regardless of what happens.

But [censored] this really isn't good enough.

There are some real problems down there.
