Demon3 2,541 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 to the 22 players who represented Melbourne today for serving up the most insipid uninspiring, embarrising type of Rnd 1 football ever in the AFL... you are all a disgrace.. just pathetic.. no heart...no hope..
The Backyard Charizard 1,202 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 And to think that I told a lot of people that Melbourne were a great value bet for the 1st round!?!?!?! I am in absolute disbelief.... We are at rock bottom now! We are not even in the same league as Carlton!!!!! I have not felt this low since ..... well..... my whole damn life!!
Mojo 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 to the 22 players who represented Melbourne today for serving up the most insipid uninspiring, embarrising type of Rnd 1 football ever in the AFL... you are all a disgrace.. just pathetic.. no heart...no hope.. I know I'll get shot down for this but...I believe the alternate jersey should be worn until the team is worthy of wearing the traditional Red and Blue.
bandicoot 1,395 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 There was not one bit of hope or positive to come out of the game..... We as a side need 3 -4 years to bottom out before we go anywhere.....
dazzledavey36 56,399 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 the melbournefc can go and get pharked!!
Demonic_Inferno 17 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 LOL I just got back from the ground. That. Was. Disgusting.
EllieDee 1 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Truly a Disheartening start to the season Theres not much else I can say as I am still in shock!!!
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 For the first time in my life, I am speechless. Also for the first time in my life I left the ground at 3/4 time. Really couldn't take it anymore. Every Hawthorn goal was like a knife to the heart. Will be interesting to see what Bailey does next. If I was coach I'd seriously contemplate throwing footballs at the players' head repetitively.
Nicho 1 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Things that must change: Need to add leg speed (Why did buckley spend so much time on the bench) Set up zones with ball ups. Have midfielders defensive side of packs Talk to each other when under pressure Kick long and not chips around defence Play on... We are so slow Play either Green or Yze perm down back as a sweeper-spare man Tell Nathan Jones to make an effort to clear whn lying on top of ball Play Davey perm forward Get J Rivers back, even in a wheelchair he's better than what we have down there Bring back Bate and Sylvia Introduce a little secret called Run and carry Learn to tackle the arms not the waist There is plenty more but thats the first lesson... We are pathetic... We may not win a game if we carry on like this..... Fromtodays game only Green, Chook and Jones get a pass...
olgreydingo 51 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Totally shattering. Can we stand another 21 weeks of this total embarssment!!
praha 11,268 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Me thinks on thread is needed for Melbourne bashing.
Melb_2009 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 is it me or was Melbourne playing like they were back in the 70s?
Deano74 156 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I cant remember the Dee's being at a lower point, definately sad. Our forward line of Neitz, Robbo, and Newton wont work. Too predicable we kicked it long and hope they would mark it. Im worried for Newton can take a mark, but looks very slow.
Grand Old Fox 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Did anyone pick up on Dean Bailey's game plan? He looked like a frightened substitute teacher in the coaching box.
mufc 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Just have to ask Nicho if the Green he was talking about was Brad Green?????? What game were u watching????
rusty_corner 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Just got back from the game Quote of the day: "Bring on the Seniors!!!"
Old Man Rivers 326 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Just got back from the game Quote of the day: "Bring on the Seniors!!!" The great SKYHOOKS classic was ringing in my ears all day. " I'm Living in the 70's" Today was like the entire decade in the 70's I truly thought these times would never reappear, but here we go again.
gOLLy 401 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Worst game ive seen in my 31 years of life. Worst than the Richmond game last year. Our worst and sole problem today was we didnt run...and didnt play on.
Melb_2009 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 hey, i was just listening to SEN right now and there was guy who called up and was bagging melbourne and he labeled as a Disgrace to the AFL
Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 It seems that Paul McNamee will have his work cut out for him. People and sponsors aren't fond of losers...and thats what we definitely were today!
beelzebub 23,392 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 For the first time in my life, I am speechless. Also for the first time in my life I left the ground at 3/4 time. Really couldn't take it anymore. aww Jaded....you left before the mighty comeback !!! pmsl..!!!!
lucifer 125 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 I have been a member of this website for a long time, and have rarely posted, but what I saw at the game today was enough to prompt this message in this forum. I am in no way trying to be one of the many who simply come on here to bag the players and their efforts, but today's effort was simply insipid. I sat through the entire match, cheering when they finally got their second goal in the 3rd Quarter, and at that point it dawned on me. I have barracked for the MFC all my life and have been a member and am still a member to this day, but the way in which that group of players refused to play for each other and the jumper was a disgrace to players who have come before them and given their heart and soul for that jumper. I am gutted by the complete lack of desperation from the senior players and in particular the leadership group (with Russell Robertsoon looking completely disintersted at times). As was mentioned on here in previous weeks., it again started from the warm up all the way through to the finaly siren. I have never seen such a pathetic excuse for a "team" effort toady, and I hope Bailey let's them know exactly the impact their performance has not only on the supporters, but the general perception of the rest of the AFL world. We are viewed as a rabble who is lucky to still be in existence. My heart beast red and blue, and I won't give up on them yet, I will sit through another cold winter (not at the snow), let's hope next weeks is better and they learn from their mistakes.
Chook 15,080 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I was reading lucifer's post, and it wasn't until he started talking about Russell Robertson that I realised his message was almost five years old. If that doesn't tell you something about this club's predicament, I'll go hee.
