WERRIDEE

Are you serious? Did you only watch the 1st quarter?

What did I say? If plays like the way you said he would give a AA jumper. Well you got your answer so what's the problem? He's clearly the only one in contention because the rest are hopeless. I wouldn't rave on about leading the votes for Melbourne when you are the only good player. I think we should have the worst player of the year award. It would be far more interesting and far more easier when you are supporting this club. I mean how can you name 6 good players today, it's just impossible, you simply have to make names up. My argument still stands when the game turned to shite and we were under siege he should have been taken off the leash, he was the only one who looked like giving us some run out of defence while the players that were suppose to do it in Dunn, Howe and Lumumba gave us donuts. Remember he still had 10 disposals less than he did last week.

I don't Garland can play on talls any more. McCarthy gave him a hiding, he really could have embarrassed if he held his marks early. I don't know why Dunn wasn't put on to him actually I don't know what Dunn was doing all day can someone please explain?

Why can't you keep it on football? Why do you continually use personal abuse to get your point? We are all Melbourne supporters here agree\disagree, no need to get personal unless it's extremely funny which yours ain't. I don't know how you get away with it. People only thought Dawes was an obvious in because Roos loves him, it's definitely not based on form. I said Toumpas has been poor 3 out of the last 4 weeks, well Dawes has been just as bad if not worse. We have dropped Grimes, Toumpas and JKH who have been arguably in better form than Dawes. How long will Roos's love affair with him last? We shouldn't hold on to out of form players, that should be left in the past.

I wouldn't jump on the Bulldogs yet. They played Richmond who weren't great against Carlton who are terrible and West Coast aren't great either. I expect both teams won't make the 8. If they can compete against Hawthorn then I will start to believe.

How disappointing is that? Well we are out of the 8 the dream is over I am surprised because I'm usually right all the time but I may have got Coniglio wrong. It's clear that when Hawthorn's domination ends GWS will take over they have amazing midfield depth and pace. Unfortunately I can see Scully playing as the sub in their premiership team in 3 to 4 years time. Where did they get this Wilson from? Never heard of him, he looks like a gun. Teams must stop tagging Griffen and go to Sheil he is a star. If you want to know why ruckman are so important watch this game. Jamar gave Mummy a hiding in the first quarter and then Mummy embarrassed Jamar for the rest of the game, he turned the game around. What was evident is our lack of class through the midfield. Toumpas lovers might not like this but he is killing us. If we had a class player like Wines or Macrae who would both arguably be our best midfielder we would look like a different side. Toumpas has put us at least 2 years behind most of the competition. THE GOOD MCDONALD - The only player that had a go for 4 quarters. He had an amazing 1st half and easily BOG at that time, he just got swamped in the last half. SALEM - A real solid game, he really looks the goods. HOGAN - Believe the hype! Unfortunately we just couldn't get it to him. THE BAD The leadership group. JONES - I hope he is injured so he can use that as an excuse because he embarrassed himself today. Something I thought I would never say about Jones but he didn't look like he tried today. Undoubtedly his worst game ever. DUNN - When Tomlinson went off what was he doing all day? Was he used as a loose man? Who was he on? He had absolutely no impact. They should have let McDonald off the leash when things were getting bad, he was the only one who looked like he knew what he was doing. LUMUMBA - He fumbled, dropped marks, got caught all the time. He was terrible. DAWES - Undisciplined, dropped marks, slow, mobility of a rock, woeful user of the ball. He is just a very ordinary footballer. How we are paying 500K for this bloke is a joke. HOWE - He should be drug tested after that game. I don't know where his head was at but it wasn't at the game. Maybe he was thinking that he could be at GWS. CHANGES FOR RND 3 IN: JKH OUT: DAWES We had too many bad players to single out a few so give them a chance to redeem themselves, but make a stand on the pathetic leadership group like they did with Grimes and drop Dawes. Leadership heads must roll after that pathetic performance hopefully they don't take it out on the kids.

Thank god they got rid of McCartney! Sorry couldn't resist, forget I mentioned it.

Malthouse has just blamed free agency on losing Garlett. I'm pretty sure they gave him away and it had nothing to do with free agency.

What I don't understand is why they don't have 2 Friday night games like they do in the NRL and A League? Surely this would help out the poorer clubs? No one likes Sunday twilight games so why have them?

The Saints will be licking their lips. What are the odds for Carlton to win the spoon? I'm gonna get on it now.

Fair enough but it doesn't answer my main question. Why don't they show us how they diagnose patients with ADHD\bipolar disorder\depression? Surely that would clear it up? Why do we just have to take their word for it?

It has to go through Barrett first. Just heard on MMM that Clark will do another well paid interview during the year with Barrett. His first interview gave us nothing, maybe he has to give something this time. Wait until he writes a book about it. Depression or not he is going to make more money from depression than he did at Melbourne. When it comes to making money the man is a genius and no doubt he and Barrett are playing with the public.

Watch Roos's B & F speech and tell me it wasn't directed at Clark. He wanted to leave Melbourne not the other way around that is obvious.

Dixon would be a great get but Smith is soft don't need him.

I just don't know why you won't brace my superiority over you? It is natural to learn from people superior to yourself. Don't hate greatness your ignorance will get you nowhere.

Who is going to beat them. They have amazing depth and I think the Swans are on the slide more than they are. Port can but they have a massive problem at full back Carlile is a spud Roughhead will slaughter them. In 2 or 3 years time all this should change, it will be interesting to see which clubs pass the aging Hawks, Cats and Swans. Wouldn't it be great to see a Dees V Bulldogs Grand Final. Then Eddie will whinge about equalisation.

People don't understand it and there is a reason for this. What information have we got when it comes to this possible illness? Very little I think. Why don't psychologists come out and show us how they diagnose depression? Now I went to a psychologist to try and overcome a fear I had over a serious incident that happened to me years ago. I was almost immediately diagnosed with depression. I felt fine so I said are you sure? she said yes so I said what test do I take? she said none they just take my word for it. So how can this so called illness be taken seriously when it was clear that she pulled a diagnoses out of thin air because she wanted me to go on a disability pension. It's like forcing people to believe in the easter bunny. How are we suppose to believe if there is no evidence out there? Show us some evidence and we will believe it's not a myth.

Please respect my opinion I'll cry if you don't

They are very old and slow and take out Selwood and Stevie J their midfield is almost bare and that's where games are lost and won. They had problems last year they were a very shaky top 4 team, they won so many games because of their aura they just knew they could win while the opposition because they were playing the mighty Cats thought they couldn't win. That changed when they got outplayed by the worst top 4 team of all time in the Kangaroos. Their aura is gone most teams can come up against the Cats knowing they can win when before they couldn't. The won't slide dramatically but they will slide and struggle to make the 8. Hawthorn on the other hand are unbeatable. They have a massive chance of going through the season undefeated, they will go into most games knowing they have won the game before the ball has even been bounced. It will be just like us when every team has given up on the flag we will come from nowhere and play like stars and come up against this powerhouse in the Grand Final and get beaten by 100 points. People will say I'm dreaming but it can happen, it has happened to us twice before.

There is no need to be intimidated by my superior football knowledge. Just treat me like you would treat any another god. Keep up the love affair with Grimes, M.Jones, McKenzie, Pedersen, Bail and Terlich because they have played more games and forget about picking a team on talent. The weekend showed that Roos is heading in the wrong direction and you should be coach. ALL HAIL THE NEW MESSIAH CURRY & BEER!

I think we should drop Brayshaw he hasn't played anywhere near enough games. I think we should try to get McKenzie to 300 games based on your theory.

I'm feelin the love

Why do you need to get personal? Where did you pull these stats from? Is it from where you have pulled most of your comments from?

There what did you mean by that

Dunn and Frawley played forward because we had no one else there. My point is it's not about who is the best match up for Cameron, it's about trying to get McDonald to replicate his performance against the Suns playing him on another player he has no need to respect seems pretty obvious to me, why it's getting ridiculed by the other bloke has got me stuffed, but everybody has the right to an opinion.
