WHAT THE [censored] IS WRONG WITH THIS [censored] CLUB!?!?!??!???!??!!??

I called this result 3 [censored] months ago and was hounded down as it was too laughably cynical. This was the most sure of sure wins, everyone said. Suggesting it would be a repeat of our embarrassing "sure thing" losses to Carlton, Essendon and St Kilda in 2015 was criticised. Well there it is, folks. There it is! We did it, AGAIN. Once again we let the easiest opportunity for 2 in a row completely evaporate. And to the drug cheats of all [censored] clubs!

Must be easy to win with 3 extra players on the ground. [censored] off you drug cheating assholes. Probably going to be their only win for the year and it just had to be us. [censored] off Melbourne.

Footy isn't complicated. One team wants to win more today, and it ain't us. All above the shoulders.

Going to the gym now. Just don't even want to watch how this ends. We don't seem to learn anything playing like shite but falling over the line.

[censored], I'm done with this thread because there is literally no positive with this predictably piece of [censored] performance. No second half comeback can wallpaper over the cracks of this team right now.

Nobody should be surprised at the umpiring, the AFL desperately want this mob of drug cheats to win. We'd be one of the few chances they have, judging on this shithouse performance. Wouldn't it be [censored] nice just ONCE to expect to win a game and actually win it? Just ONCE!

Anyone else seeing their shitty top-ups absolutely manhandling our players off the ball? No free kicks of course, despite the umps handing them out like lollies last night.

Well this game is dedicated to all the folks who called us silly for being nervous about the "sure thing." Just like all those embarrassing losses last year where we were odds-on favourites.

As soon as that graphic came up I knew he'd miss. MFCSS creeping in.

Adelaide kicked 70 points and it's not even halfway through the 2nd. Find some inspiration here Melbourne.

Of course Merrett scores a cheap running goal after we miss set shot after set shot. Last year all over again.

I try to avoid Game Day threads because of starts like this but FFS SWITCH ON MELBOURNE YOU [censored] [censored]! Adelaide are destroying Port Adelaide after only a quarter. Can we please do the same just ONCE?

Toothless, uneducated.... and feral.

Got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach right now. This is the one game of the year I'll be furious if we lose, would be simply embarrassing for where we're at. Simply a non-negotiable today, we must win and we must prove we've learned how to win. If we come out flat like a few other matches this year, we could definitely lose. We can't get complacent and I hope the coaches have drilled that into the team.

Cotchin had the worst 38 disposal game in AFL history. Awful.

Heh, GWS cancelled their interview with him. What a recruitment team they have up there!

Another gift from the heavens. Thank you Jason Taylor!

Isn't having to work under a complete twit like Gillon torture enough?

So why didn't he ask to come to Melbourne last trade period, if it's been his intention all along? Not wanting to look like a Cam McCarthy? The Howe deal falling through? Not wanting the MFC to pay overs to get him? Personally I just think he wants to see which team looks the most promising by the end of this year, and I don't blame him. But if he's been planning to come here all along, why waste an entire year at the Suns?

GNF, I hope your intel is more accurate on this topic than it was with those 2014 trade period riddles which never eventuated. Dangerfield to Geelong was the worst kept secret in the AFL. He was never staying at Adelaide.

To be honest I'm glad they're clamping down on the deliberates. Everyone knows players have been taught to hug the boundary line to force stoppages and it does nothing positive for the image of the game.

Wonder how the interchange cap will affect the Bulldogs. They were explosive in the first and second quarters but faded as the game went on. Their kicking for goal was atrocious at times, too. Still a comfortable win though. Says a lot more about Fremantle IMHO.

10 more seconds and I've a feeling that game was a loss.

I think he's a shoe-in to come to a Victorian club. I'd love it to be us, you never turn down an opportunity to improve your list. Already having a quality inside midfielder in Viney was the same reason we passed on Wines for Toumpas. How did that turn out?
