First time we’ve seen our attacking handball run and gun game from last year all season: we’ve looked so slow and tentative this year. Hopefully it gives the boys the confidence to keep taking the game on.

I thought he should have retired at the end of last season and today’s performance only reinforced that.

I think the midfield often looks better balanced without Viney, not as many drawn to the footy and we seem to have more run. Was similar last year when we played really well before the finals started. Nothing against Jack I am a big fan of his but I do wonder how many inside mids we can play at once?

This is why I keep turning up to the footy wooo

Sack everyone and start again

Good luck to Declan, hopefully he can take a few nice grabs up forward, we have been struggling in that department.

Goody with his classic WTF selections yet again

I also have FOMO - fear of missing out when we do decide to play properly and get a win....guarantee the one game I decide to skip the boys will have a glorious victory

We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

YEAH the Toump lets get Cale Morton and Sam Blease for more outside run too!

Perhaps we should keep blubber-ing on then...

thats ok if you're just chewing the fat...

we need stop turning on each other and the club and stick fat, cmon!

Maybe we should have just played him fat: our "elite" training standards broke him!

Being 18th with the players we have at any stage of the season is a disgrace, hard to believe how bad we are traveling this year..30 percent below Carlton cmon

Keep him. Our trading record is pretty bad, Hogan is probably going to bite us on the [censored] and Trac would be even worse.

And all our weekends for autumn and winter

Mistake for Lewis to go on this year

Speed isn’t as big an issue as our team getting beaten in contested and uncontested ball every week, without even mentioning our deplorable decision making and ball use....while we could do with more pace there is no way the current side should be playing as badly as it is, and a few quicker players won’t help until we start getting the fundamentals of the game right again.

Not prepared to completely write the trade off yet but it is a huge concern that we sold the best key forward we’ve had since Neitz and a guy we’d invested so much time, money and effort into for an older, overweight key defender who now appears to have a chronic injury. I think we need to start going back to the draft and get more elite juniors, Hawthorn are the masters of trading to fill needs but we seem to regularly make a hash of it. Could have added a player like Bailey Smith or Zak Butters at pick 6 who both seem to have a lot of what we lack.

He better be the greatest Melbourne fullback ever when he finally gets fit then

We’ve always had fair weather supporters....when we were garbage between 2009-2013 some of the games I went to we were outnumbered by Adelaide or Sydney supporters at the G....there’s probably only 10-12K hardcore supporters who turn up no matter what each week...

That’s 1.5m a year for 2 key defenders, they’d want to get out on the park pretty soon.... We need to target a smart medium forward as well as midfield pace in the off season

We’re not seriously paying May $800k are we?

I just hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for another half decent season, the ROI on membership isn’t looking too flash right about now
